This research method uses a quantitative method with data collection techniques by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents, namely the people of Southwest Aceh Regency who belong to the millennial generation and also sharia pawnshop customers. The partial test results show that the location variable (X1) has no significant effect on millennial interest in using sharia pawnshop services, while the Promotion Variable (X2) and Service Quality (X3) has a significant effect on millennial interest in using sharia pawnshop services. Furthermore, the results of the simultaneous test show that the variables of location, promotion, and service quality jointly affect millennial interest in using sharia pawnshop services

Income Inequality Between Districts and Their Impact on Poverty in Aceh Province

The problem of income inequality and poverty is a key issue that is always associated with economic development, both in developed and developing countries. Eliminating poverty and reducing economic inequality are absolutely necessary in order to realize social welfare. If the government does not actively intervene in economic activities, then economic activities will be regulated by market mechanisms and then have a negative impact on further development, namely the widening of the welfare gap from time to time between rich and poor areas as a result of the economic activities of richer areas. smoothly compared to poor areas. Aceh is one of the regions, regions or parts of the Republic of Indonesia. In 2013 the Province of Aceh was divided into 18 districts and 5 cities, consisting of 284 sub-districts, 755 mukim and 6,450 gampong or villages with an area of Aceh Province of 5,677,081 ha and a population of 4,597,308 people (BPS Aceh, 2013). The Central Statistics Agency (BPS, 2021) noted that there were 834.24 thousand poor people in Aceh in March 2021, an increase of 0.04 percent compared to September 2020 of 833.91 thousand people. However, the poverty rate in Aceh has decreased from 10.43 percent in September 2020 to 10.33 percent in March 2021. In detail, the poverty rate in rural Aceh has decreased from 17.96 percent in September 2020 to 17.78 percent in March 2021. Meanwhile, the urban poverty rate in Aceh will increase from 10.31 percent in September 2020 to 10.46 percent in March 2021. This research was conducted in all districts and cities in Aceh Province starting from Simeulue, Aceh Singkil, South Aceh, Southeast Aceh, East Aceh, Central Aceh, West Aceh, Great Aceh, Pidie, Bireuen, North Aceh, Southwest Aceh, Gayo lues, Aceh Tamiang, Nagan Raya, Aceh Jaya, Banda Aceh, Sabang, Langsa, Lhokseumawe, Bener merry, Pidie Jaya and Subulussalam. To see income inequality between districts in Aceh Province, the variable is limited to income per capita and the population of each district is analyzed from the 2010-2020 period. The data used is secondary data, obtained from the Aceh Province Central Statistics Agency, BAPPEDA Aceh and a number of reports and literature especially from several offices and related agencies. The model used to see the direction of development inequality is the Williamson Coefficient Formula. Regional development is considered evenly distributed if the Williamson Coefficient is equal to zero or close to zero. Vice versa, development inequality will occur if the coefficient value is further away from zero. Of the 23 regencies/cities in Aceh Province, the most evenly distributed income per capita with a Williamson coefficient value below 0.05 is Aceh Singkil, South Aceh, Sabang, Langsa, Subulussalam, Aceh Tamiang, Nagan Raya, Bener Meriah, Gayo Lues, Central Aceh. , West Aceh, Aceh Besar, Bireuen and Southwest Aceh District. The second order for districts/cities with a fairly even level of income distribution and having a Williamson coefficient value between 0.05-0.09 is Simeulue, Southeast Aceh, Pidie, North Aceh, Aceh Jaya and Pidie Jaya districts. The third order for districts/cities with an uneven level of income distribution and having a Williamson coefficient value above 0.10 is East Aceh District, Lhokseumawe City and Banda Aceh City. It turns out that the income inequality that occurs increases the level of poverty that occurs in Aceh Province. It is hoped that local governments can identify all the potential resources contained in their respective regions and then explore them to increase the Gross Regional Domestic Product, so that in turn it can increase per capita income itself and will reduce the number of poor people. For further research, it is expected to be able to add economic growth variables to see the link between inequality and economic growth itself in Aceh Province

The Current Condition of Coral Reef and Fish Diversity in Gosong Island, Southwest Aceh

Highlight Research The current condition coverage percentage of coral reefs in the waters of Gosong Island was 55% Percentage of dead coral with algae founded on Gosong Island is 28% On Gosong Island there are 11 families, namely Acroporidae, Agariciidae, Faviidae, Fungiidae, Merulinidae , Mussidae, Dendrophylliidae, Oculinidae, Pectiniidae, Pocilloporidae and Poritidae Abstract The coral reef ecosystem is an important ecosystem; its existence has a very close relationship with the surrounding ecosystem and the reef fish community. The direct and indirect dependence of reef fish on coral reefs has become an important issue at the national and international levels. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of coral reef ecosystem conditions, the percentage of coral growth, identify the types of coral reefs, and the diversity of reef fish species on Gosong Island, Southwest Aceh. Coral reef biophysical characteristics were collected by measuring water quality, calculating the percentage of coral coverage using the Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method, and the abundance of reef fish using the Underwater Fish Visual Census (UFVC) method. The condition of average percentage of coral reefs in the waters of Gosong Island was in a good category (55%), found as many as 31 genera of hard corals included in the line transect. The percentage of base substrate that dominates other than live coral is dead coral with algae (DCA) of 28%. The average abundance of reef fish in Gosong Island waters is 11,260 ind/ha with an average reef fish biomass of 2074,095 kg/yield. The water quality results show good conditions for coral growth in location. Based on the analysis of the structure of the fish community found in the coral reef area, the results showed good results, so the research location became a good habitat for various types of fish associated with coral reef ecosystems on Gosong Island

Then the homogeneity test was carried out with the Levene test, the value (sig) of 0.863 (p>0.05) means that there is a similarity of variance (homogeneous) between groups. Statistical analysis in both groups used Paired Sample t-test and obtained a sig value for the core Stability group of 0.000 and for the Zigzag Run group of 0.000, it can be concluded that there was a difference after being given treatment in each treatment group (p <0.05). Different test of the effect of post test core Stability and zigzag Run using the Independent Sample t-test and obtained a value (sig) of 0.015. So it can be concluded that there is a difference between the treatment of group I and group II (p<0.05).
