Tulungagung Regency has the potential for culinary tourism that can be developed, one of which is traditional culinary. Although the Tulungagung Regency Government has presented a "Halal Culinary Area" and a "Pinka Culinary Tourism Area", the area has not fully provided an interesting visual and functional experience. Therefore, it is necessary to design a space that facilitates traditional culinary MSMEs as well as an educational and recreational place. This design carries the theme of contemporary tropical architecture by considering local climatic conditions, through the application of wide openings, cross ventilation, wide trellises, and the use of natural materials, as well as expressive styles with the shape of a rooster roof and the basic shape of an elliptical building as a symbol of adaptation to climate change and the economy in the business environment. The facilities in this design include traditional restaurants, educational bales, wiyata offices, prayer rooms, playgrounds and other supporting facilities that can attract the interest of the community and introduce traditional Tulungagung culinary.

Urban space limitations and community economic empowerment needs present complex challenges in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation in densely populated areas. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of MSME empowerment programs through optimizing narrow alleys into productive economic centers in Duren Tiga Village, South Jakarta. Using mixed methods research with sequential explanatory design and CIPP evaluation model, the study involved 9 assisted MSMEs, PT PLN Puslitbang management, and related stakeholders during August 2024-July 2025 period. Results show that transformation of 200 m² narrow alley into Café Mini Forest successfully increased average MSME turnover by 67.9% and halal certification achievement by 88.9%. The program integrates "go global, go digital, go green" approach with multi-stakeholder partnership model contributing to SDGs 1, 8, 12, and 17. Spatial optimization innovation creates economic multiplier effects through 250% foot traffic increase and cost-efficient shared facilities. This model proves that community empowerment-based CSR can transform limited spaces into sustainable economic ecosystems, offering a replicable framework for similar urban empowerment programs.

This study discusses the implementation of the halal SPA tourism concept in salons and SPAs in Padang City, amidst the growing halal tourism sector that emphasizes Islamic values. The purpose of this research is to describe the application of product, service, and management aspects based on halal standards. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, employing observation, interviews, and documentation methods across 10 salons and SPAs. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion techniques. The results show that most salons and SPAs have begun to implement the halal tourism concept, including separate treatment rooms, the use of certified halal products, and the provision of prayer facilities. Muslimah Beauty Care stands out with its Islamic prayer books and magazines, while OK SPA and Beauty Lounge have adopted Islamic SOPs, including greetings and prayers. However, there are still inconsistencies in implementation, particularly in uniformity of Islamic dress for staff and product halal certification. Overall, salons and SPAs in Padang are making efforts to follow the halal tourism concept but require improvement in implementation to meet optimal standards.
