Overview of City Market Involution (an Ethnoinformatics Review at Sugihwaras Market, Pekalongan City)

2025-03-04T07:59:40+00:00

The existing market and traders in Sugihwaras Market have provided an involutive reality. Three questions were formulated to understand and resolve the issue, namely (a) How is the existing condition of the involutive market, (b) Development and promotion strategies and (c) Resolution strategies. The ethnoinformatics method was applied to answer it with data excavated through five data collection techniques: (a) Qualitative survey, (b) Interview and Observation; (c) FGD; (d) Document study and (e) Visual study. Qualitative, quantitative data analysis and data triangulation have been carried out, in addition to interpretive, display, descriptive and frequency distribution (SPSS) techniques. The results of the study showed that the involutive reality was shown through the existing condition of the market which was quiet with buyers and traders, with hundreds of kiosks and traders closed and leaving. However, the market did not die but still survived with a small number of its traders. Various forms of training, partnerships and collaborations have been carried out to resolve it but the results have not been significant for the condition of the traders and the involutive market. Three options of resolution strategies are offered to get out of its involutive condition, namely: (a) a) Soft power; (b) Consistency and firmness in policy implementation; and (c) Adaptive culture. These three strategies are a unity of three in simultaneity (tri ning tri) so that all three must run simultaneously, filling and completing each other and not eliminating each other.

The study aims to analyze climate change and the role of youth in facing the challenges of digital technology in Pekalongan, as well as to find evidence-based solutions. The method used is qualitative research with a literature study, collecting primary and secondary data through library research and descriptive surveys. The results show that Pekalongan faces climate change issues such as land subsidence, sea level rise, flooding, and vector-borne diseases. Youth are confronted with narcotizing dysfunction and the commodification of social media. Fundamental initiatives such as carbon footprint awareness, green marketing, and avoiding greenwashing are needed. However, surveys indicate that youth understanding of carbon footprints is still low. Therefore, new methods of environmental education are necessary. Previous research shows that applications can enhance knowledge of carbon footprints and environmentally friendly lifestyles, with features like carbon footprint calculators, education, and gamification. This study recommends fundamental environmental education, avoiding social media dominance, leveraging Pekalongan's local wisdom, and emphasizing individual movements that can become collective.

Education is a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution for every citizen. However, in Pekalongan City, a significant challenge persists: many children lack access to quality education due to economic, social, and other constraints. The issues of Out-of-School Children (OSC) and those vulnerable to dropping out remain pressing problems that demand serious attention from the government and stakeholders.

The ethnographic approach facilitates a thorough examination of local innovations addressing OSC in Pekalongan City, including identifying the roles of key stakeholders.

Focus group discussions (FGDs) are conducted with stakeholders such as the Pekalongan City Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) for policy alignment and the Pekalongan City Education Office for technical implementation. This study identifies the strategies and policies already implemented, emphasizing the importance of cross-sector collaboration and active participation from stakeholders to build an inclusive and equitable education system. The findings of this research highlight the necessity of a collective commitment from the government, educational institutions, communities, and individuals to address these challenges.

2025-06-25T08:02:31+00:00

Pekalongan City, as the center of batik culture, faces great challenges in integrating tradition with modern technology to support the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Low access to formal financial services and digital literacy are major obstacles in improving the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital era. This study aims to analyze the application of financial technology (fintech) among MSMEs in Pekalongan, identify challenges faced, and provide recommendations for strategic solutions. This research uses a qualitative approach with thematic analysis, data collected from various relevant secondary sources. The results show that fintech provides significant benefits, such as easing access to financial services, improving financial management efficiency, expanding market competitiveness, and encouraging product innovation. However, challenges include low digital literacy, limited internet infrastructure, and doubts about the security of digital transactions. Key recommendations include education and training for MSME players, strengthening digital infrastructure, and partnerships between the government and fintech providers. Collaboration between fintech and tradition has proven to be an effective synergy, not only in driving digital transformation but also maintaining local cultural identity.
