Implementation of Smart Tourism Concepts to Realize Tourism Digitalization in Bukittinggi City
This study was conducted to analyze the implementation of the smart tourism concept in supporting tourism digitalization in Bukittinggi City. This research employed a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with the Tourism Office, business actors, tourists, and digital media managers. The findings show that the government has utilized digital technology through the tourism website, official social media platforms, and the use of quick response codes at several tourist points. The provision of information regarding destinations, culinary attractions, and tourism activities has improved tourists’ access to digital services. However, the study also reveals that interactive features and user-oriented services remain limited. Other challenges include slow website access, lack of two-way communication, and limited digital literacy among tourism stakeholders. This study recommends strengthening digital infrastructure and developing interactive features so that the implementation of smart tourism in Bukittinggi City can run more effectively.

Integrating Usul al-Fiqh as an Epistemological Foundation of Islamic Economics in Responding to Global Economic Challenges
The role of Ushul al-Fiqh as an epistemological foundation for the development of Islamic economics within the challenging global context. Globalization has brought significant impacts to the world economic system, including wealth inequality, natural resource exploitation, and recurring financial crises. In such circumstances, Islamic economics is expected to provide alternative solutions that are just and sustainable. As the fundamental methodology for deriving Islamic law from primary sources such as the Qur’an, Sunnah, ijma’, and qiyas, Ushul al-Fiqh goes beyond its function as a legal instrument. It also serves as an epistemological basis for constructing a theoretical framework of Islamic economics that remains adaptive and relevant to global dynamics. This study employs a systematic literature review approach by analyzing both classical and contemporary works concerning the relationship between Ushul al-Fiqh and Islamic economics. The findings indicate that Ushul al-Fiqh offers normative principles, such as justice (‘adl), public interest (maslahah), and balance (tawazun), which are highly relevant to addressing global economic challenges. For instance, in dealing with income inequality, Usul al-Fiqh promotes zakat, sadaqah, and waqf as instruments rooted in social justice. Likewise, in tackling resource exploitation, the principles of maqasid al-shariah provide a solid foundation for sustainable economic policies. Therefore, integrating Usul al-Fiqh as an epistemological foundation of Islamic economics not only strengthens the intellectual identity of Islamic scholarship but also contributes significantly to the global economic discourse. This study recommends further multidisciplinary research that bridges Usul al- Fiqh with contemporary issues, enabling Islamic economics to emerge as a more applicable, competitive, and globally relevant alternative.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is an important social protection program in Indonesia, aimed at improving the welfare of underprivileged communities by providing conditional social assistance. This study aims to analyze the benefits of PKH implementation as part of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiated by the United Nations (UN) for beneficiary families (KPM) in Pekanbaru City. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by collecting data through interviews, observations, and document studies of several KPM and PKH facilitators. The results show that PKH implementation in Pekanbaru City provides tangible benefits in increasing beneficiary families' access to education and health services and improving economic welfare. This program also contributes directly to the achievement of several SDGs, particularly goal 1 (no poverty), goal 3 (healthy and prosperous lives), and goal 4 (quality education). However, challenges remain regarding the accuracy of beneficiary targeting and the continuation of economic benefits after the program is discontinued. Overall, PKH has proven to be an important tool in supporting the global commitment to sustainable development in line with the UN agenda to create more prosperous and inclusive societies.

The Role of Budgeting in Improving the Financial Performance of MSMEs
Budgeting plays a pivotal role in enhancing the financial performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia, a sector critical to national economic growth and employment. Many MSMEs rely on informal financial practices, leading to inefficiencies in cost management, cash flow control, and strategic planning. This study employs a systematic literature review to examine theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and practical budgeting applications relevant to MSMEs. The synthesis indicates that simple, structured, and user-friendly budgeting practices, combined with managerial competence and financial literacy, significantly improve operational efficiency, profitability, and long-term business stability. External support, such as training programs, digital financial tools, and government initiatives, further facilitates effective budgeting implementation. Importantly, this study addresses research gaps by identifying practical budgeting models suitable for micro and small enterprises with limited resources and technological access, providing actionable recommendations for practitioners and policymakers to enhance MSME financial performance and resilience in a dynamic business environment.

The Role of Strategic Budgeting in Enhancing Financial Performance and Corporate Adaptability in the Era of Global Economic Dynamics
This research aims to analyze the transformation of budgeting systems from traditional administrative functions into adaptive, innovative, and sustainable strategic instruments within modern financial management. Using a qualitative library research approach, this study explores relevant literature on strategic budgeting, digital technology integration, and the concept of sustainable budgeting.

The integration of technologies such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of budgeting processes. Furthermore, sustainable budgeting emphasizes the balance between economic profit, social responsibility, and environmental preservation within corporate financial strategies. In conclusion, the synergy between technological innovation, organizational adaptability, and sustainability commitment is essential in developing resilient and relevant budgeting systems in today’s dynamic global economy.

Implementation of the Social Rehabilitation Assistance Program (ATENSI) in the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities in the City of Pekanbaru
The Social Rehabilitation Assistance Program (ATENSI) is a policy of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia that focuses on improving the welfare and independence of people with disabilities through family, community, and institution-based services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the ATENSI Program in empowering people with disabilities in the city of Pekanbaru and identify inhibiting factors in its implementation. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants consisted of employees of the Pekanbaru Abiseka Center, social companions, beneficiaries, and families of people with disabilities. The results of the study show that the ATENSI Program has made a positive contribution to increasing the independence of beneficiaries through mobility assistance, entrepreneurial support, and the fulfillment of basic needs. The Pekanbaru Abiseka Center has a fairly adequate institutional capacity, but the effectiveness of implementation is still constrained by budget limitations, professional personnel, and differences in types and levels of disability. This program needs to be strengthened through training diversification, human resource capacity building, and a continuous monitoring and evaluation system so that the goals of social empowerment of persons with disabilities can be achieved optimally.

Public Trust as a Mediator of the Effect of Zakat Digitalization on Zakat Fund Receipts at Baznas, Pekanbaru City
This study aims to analyze public trust as a mediating factor in the effect of zakat digitalization on zakat fund collection at the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) of Pekanbaru City. The research was conducted at BAZNAS Pekanbaru, a zakat institution that has implemented a digital system in its zakat management. This study employed a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis technique. The sample consisted of 100 muzakki selected purposively, and data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that zakat digitalization has a positive and significant effect on public trust but does not have a direct impact on zakat fund collection. Public trust was found to have a positive and significant effect on zakat fund collection and serves as an intervening variable in this relationship. This indicates that public trust is a key factor in enhancing the effectiveness of zakat digitalization on zakat fund collection. Therefore, zakat institutions need to improve transparency, accountability, and security in their digital systems. In addition, socialization and education regarding the benefits and convenience of zakat digitalization should be strengthened to encourage more muzakki to use digital services.

Assessing the Financial and Market Effects of Mergers and Acquisitions: Evidence from Indonesia’s Capital Market
This study aims to analyze the differences in financial performance and market performance of companies before and after mergers and acquisitions. The financial ratios used in this study include the current ratio (CR), debt to equity ratio (DER), debt to asset ratio (DAR), total asset turnover (TATO), return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), earnings per share (EPS), and Tobin's Q. The research sample was obtained through purposive sampling, with a total of 30 companies that conducted mergers and acquisitions during the 2019–2021 period. The difference test was performed using the paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that there were no significant differences in most of the CR, DER, TATO, EPS, ROA, and ROE ratios because the impact of mergers and acquisitions was not yet visible in the short term and the company integration process was still ongoing. Conversely, differences in the DAR and Tobin's Q ratios occurred due to changes in the structure of assets and liabilities and market reactions to the company's prospects after the merger and acquisition.

The Effectiveness of the AMAN (Assistance, Humane, Trustworthy, and Comfortable) Program in Controlling Vagrants and Beggars in the City of Pekanbaru
The city of Pekanbaru is facing an increase in the number of vagrants and beggars (gepeng) due to high economic growth and urbanization. To address this issue, Local Regulation No. 12 of 2008 on Social Order was implemented, which regulates the control, data collection, guidance, and social rehabilitation of these vulnerable groups. One of the efforts made is through Operation AMAN (Assistance, Humanity, Trust, Comfort) carried out by the Social Service in collaboration with the Indonesian National Armed Forces, the Indonesian National Police, the Public Order Agency, the Transportation Agency, the Indonesian Child Protection Commission, the Health Agency, and the DP3APM. This program aims to create social order, reduce the number of gepeng, and restore the dignity and welfare of those living on the streets. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Operation AMAN and the control of street children in the city of Pekanbaru. The method used is qualitative through interviews and observations in four strategic locations with informants from the Public Order Agency and street children. The analysis is based on five indicators of effectiveness, namely program understanding, target accuracy, timeliness, achievement of objectives, and real change. The results of the study show that although Operation AMAN is carried out routinely, it has not been effective because economic and skills development has not been optimal and public awareness is low. Therefore, an integrated strategy is needed through economic empowerment, training, public education, and consistent law enforcement so that the results are sustainable.

The Influence of Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM) and Social Media Marketing on Purchase Decisions of Erigo Products Mediated by Consumer Trust Among Generation Z in Pekanbaru
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of electronic word of mouth (E- WOM) and social media marketing on consumer purchasing decisions for Erigo products among Generation Z in Pekanbaru, with consumer trust acting as a mediating variable. This research employs a quantitative approach, using structural equation modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) for analysis. The sample consists of 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that E-WOM significantly influences purchasing decisions, although it does not contribute to building consumer trust. In contrast, social media marketing does not have a direct positive effect on consumer trust. However, consumer trust positively affects purchasing decisions and mediates the indirect effect of social media marketing, but it does not mediate the effect of E- WOM. With an R-square value of 0.325, the model explains 32.5% of the variation in the dependent variable, where E-WOM and social media marketing influence consumer trust. Furthermore, an R-square value of 0.542 indicates that these three variables account for 54.2% of the factors affecting purchasing decisions, while the remaining influence is due to other factors not explored in this study.

Financial Performance Evaluation of Sharia People's Financing Banks (BPRS) in Riau Province
Islamic banking in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth, including the Islamic Rural Bank (BPRS) sector, which plays a vital role in supporting the development of micro and small businesses based on sharia principles. However, challenges such as limited capital, operational efficiency, and financing quality require a comprehensive evaluation of financial performance to ensure the sustainability and health of the institution. This study aims to analyze the financial performance of two BPRS in Riau Province, namely BPRS Hasanah and BPRS Berkah Dana Fadhilah, during the 2019–2024 period using the CAMEL method (Capital, Asset, Management, Earning, and Liquidity) as an indicator of financial health. The approach used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data in the form of quarterly financial reports published by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Each financial ratio is calculated and compared with the assessment standards based on SEOJK No. 28/SEOJK.03/2019. The results show that BPRS Berkah Dana Fadhilah has a more stable level of health, especially in terms of capital and asset quality. Meanwhile, BPRS Hasanah experienced fluctuations in profitability and liquidity, but showed improvements in capitalization and operational efficiency. Overall, both BPRS are considered healthy with the potential for sustained financial performance improvement. The novelty of this research lies in the presentation of a long-term comparative analysis of two BPRS in Riau, covering the full range of CAMEL indicators, thus providing a more comprehensive empirical picture than previous studies, which tended to focus on a single institution or a shorter period. These findings provide a practical contribution to strengthening BPRS risk management strategies and supervisory policies in the future.

Bureaucratic reform demands a clean, professional, adaptive, and quality public service-based bureaucracy. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, this study has collected data through documentation studies (including national policies that state that continuing education is part of the apparatus resource management system) and in-depth interviews with personnel coaching officials and training managers in central and regional agencies. The results of the study show that until 2021 agencies such as the Ministry of Home Affairs only obtained a Professional ASN Index of 42.23, which is very low, due to the ineffective analysis of competency development needs. Furthermore, it was found that more than 60% of work units do not have a consolidated strategic plan for sustainable competency development programs, so the gap between the required and provided competencies is still quite large. The research concludes that continuing education should be systematically designed based on job and workload analysis, integrated into the bureaucratic reform roadmap, and supported by career development policies and measurable performance evaluations. Effective implementation will strengthen the competence of civil servants, accelerate bureaucratic transformation and improve the performance of government organizations as a whole.

Transformation of Local Culinary into a Leading Creative Economy: Strategy for Increasing Takengon’s Regional Revenue through Product Innovation and Digitalization
This study is a continuation of the 2024 Beginner Lecturer Research Grant project, aiming to examine strategies for developing Takengon’s local culinary sector as a driver of the regional creative economy through product innovation and digital transformation. Previous findings indicated that local culinary entrepreneurs in Takengon still rely on traditional marketing methods, making it difficult for them to compete nationally, even though local culinary products have significant potential to increase Regional Original Revenue (PAD). This research was conducted to address the challenges of the low contribution of the culinary sector to PAD and the lack of innovation in developing a creative economy based on local wisdom. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving 30 local culinary entrepreneurs, focusing on two main products: Gayo coffee and Depik fish. Data were analyzed using SWOT and Business Model Canvas (BMC) methods to formulate innovation and digitalization strategies. The results showed that product innovation through recipe modification, packaging improvement, and local ingredient diversification, combined with the use of digital platforms such as Shopee, Tokopedia, Instagram, and TikTok, successfully increased entrepreneurs’ turnover by 20–25% within six months and raised the culinary sector’s contribution to Central Aceh’s PAD from 1.8% in 2023 to 2.6% in 2025. These findings emphasize that innovation and digitalization are key factors in strengthening the competitiveness of Takengon’s local culinary sector while supporting sustainable regional economic development. The study recommends continuous government policy support, enhancement of digital literacy, and strengthening of the creative economy ecosystem to ensure that the benefits of digital transformation can be more widely experienced by local culinary entrepreneurs.

Determinants of Poverty Levels on Sumatera Island
Poverty occurs when a person or group of people do not have sufficient resources, such as income, education, health, housing, or access to basic services. Strong economic growth can reduce poverty rates by creating new jobs, increasing incomes, and providing more people with economic opportunities. High unemployment rates tend to be positively correlated with poverty rates. Poverty can increase when people lose their jobs or opportunities to work. The HDI includes indicators of living standards, health, and education. An increase in HDI can indicate an improvement in people's welfare, which can help reduce poverty. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the poverty rate. The sample used in the study was all provinces on the island of Sumatra in 2008-2022. The testing process uses multiple regression analysis on the E-Views 12 software program. The results show that economic growth and unemployment rate affect the poverty rate, while the human development index has no effect on the poverty rate in all provinces on the island of Sumatra

The Role of the Bulog Jadirejo Warehouse in Maintaining Food Stability in Pekanbaru
This study aims to analyse the role of the Logistics Agency (Bulog) in maintaining food stability in Pekanbaru, particularly in relation to its warehousing function at the Jadirejo Warehouse. Bulog has a strategic mandate to manage food reserves, especially rice, and to distribute them in order to maintain price stability and food availability. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that Bulog Pekanbaru faces challenges in ensuring the quality of the rice it distributes, with cases of quality decline due to imperfect harvests. However, Bulog has implemented a strict quality control system, including rice inspection before distribution and regular rice stock maintenance to maintain quality. This study contributes to strengthening the understanding of Bulog's warehousing function in maintaining food security in the region.

Implementation of SDGs 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth on the Dynamics of Labor Demand in South Sumatra
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, on the dynamics of labor demand in South Sumatra, specifically Palembang, Prabumulih, Ogan Komering Ilir, Ogan Komering Ulu, Banyuasin , Musi Banyuasin , and Muara Enim, as a representation of the economic structure in South Sumatra. This study uses panel data from the Central Bureau of Statistics. 2010–2024 period which includes the number of workers in the agricultural, industrial and service sectors based on education level, regional minimum wage, average length of schooling, and Gross Regional Domestic Product Sectoral. The analysis shows that the implementation of SDGs 8 indicators has a significant impact on the dynamics of labor demand in South Sumatra. Increases in the regional minimum wage and sectoral Gross Regional Domestic Product have been shown to encourage increased labor absorption, especially among those with secondary and higher education. Conversely, the agricultural sector tends to experience a decline in labor demand along with shifts in the regional economic structure. This finding aligns with the theory of endogenous growth and confirms that the successful implementation of SDGs 8 requires improvements in education quality and productivity to create inclusive and sustainable economic growth at the regional level.
