Abstract

The article explores the development of the Sabang Agrotourism Area, strategically focused on essential plants such as patchouli, cloves, and nutmeg, to enhance community welfare. Sabang City, situated in the westernmost region of Indonesia, is part of the National Tourism Strategic Area with abundant natural resources. The agricultural sector, covering 19.23% of the total area, has not fully tapped into the potential of agrotourism. The absence of agrotourism in Sabang City prompted a collaborative effort between Syiah Kuala University, Atsiri Research Center, and the Sabang Free Trade Zone and Free Port Concession Agency (BPKS). The community service approach utilized community-based learning and the Quadruple Helix model, involving academics, government, business, and the community. Through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), the team addressed short-term goals by discussing agrotourism potential and long-term goals of community empowerment. The findings reveal the extensive essential crop plantations in Sabang City, particularly patchouli, and cloves. Sabang's patchouli exhibits superior quality, with the highest yield value, making it an excellent candidate for export. Cloves, besides their economic value, serve as effective antioxidants and eco-friendly pesticides. The proposed Sabang Agrotourism Area includes five zones: Reception, Agro-tourism, Thematic Park, Family Garden, and Accommodation. Each zone caters to different activities, ensuring a holistic agrotourism experience. This community service contributes valuable insights and potential breakthroughs to policymakers, agrotourism developers, farmer groups, academics, and the broader community. The comprehensive analysis of Sabang's essential natural resources underscores the region's potential as a leading agrotourism destination. The proposed Agrotourism Area serves as a strategic step towards sustainable development, augmenting community income and well-being.

Abstract

This article discusses challenges in achieving quality education, especially improving teacher quality, learning motivation, and effective communication skills between instructors and students. This phenomenon includes a decrease in learning motivation due to the 'shutdown' of learning, as well as the need for a learning model that can see student potential holistically based on reason and heart. While many instructors do not pay attention to effective learning methods in improving the quality of education, it is necessary to provide a supportive learning environment for all students and how to improve positive communication skills between instructors and students. This community service activity was carried out by lecturers from Syiah Kuala University to the Islamic Student Association (HMI) Aceh. The result of implementing this learning model is to produce increased understanding and strategies in the way of learning, especially to increase learning motivation, academic scores, and positive attitudes toward learning among students. The application of innovative learning models such as the Quantum Learning Model, together with the strengthening of positive communication skills between teachers and students, can be an effective step in improving the quality of education and addressing gaps in achieving educational equity.
