Abstract

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in understanding the role of MSMEs in the global economy. MSMEs are no longer considered local business entities but agents of change that can stimulate sustainable economic growth. This service research aims to make a real contribution to designing MSME empowerment strategies that have a broad impact, open up new opportunities, and positively affect global economic welfare. The method applied in this community service activity is community-based Research (CBR) using the forum group discussion (FGD) approach in the training and mentoring process. So, it is concluded that the empowerment of MSMEs proves its effectiveness in identifying, overcoming, and providing concrete solutions to their challenges. Involving business actors in decision-making and empowerment processes provides a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Training, mentoring, and support from the government and local communities form a supportive ecosystem in improving global economic welfare through developing MSMEs. Second, findings related to product innovation from natural resources, such as coconut and fish, show great potential in diversifying MSME businesses and opening up new opportunities in the global market.

Abstract

Increasing urbanization and technological developments have triggered significant transformations in urban land management, especially in Indonesia's Smart City. This study aims to formulate and implement land optimization strategies by developing attractive tourist destinations in Smart City, Indonesia. This community service research method uses the ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) method, which prioritizes valuable aspects owned by a community, better known as an asset-based approach, with five stages: Discovery, Dream, Planning, Define, and Destiny. The results provide a comprehensive view to support the development of tourist destinations responsive to smart cities in Indonesia, marking an important contribution to sustainable and innovative city development. So, it is concluded that developing smart and sustainable tourist destinations is crucial in maximizing land use in Indonesia's Smart Cities. The integration of smart technology, community participation, and environmental sustainability are key elements in creating tourist destinations that are not only attractive but also contribute to local economic growth and environmental preservation.
