The Kani Wujo Ikat Weaving Group in Tiwatobi Village, Ile Mandiri District is a representation of local wisdom that plays an important role in maintaining cultural identity and supporting the local community's economy. However, the group's development faces challenges in the form of limited product innovation, narrow market access, and lack of managerial training that meets local needs. This study aims to examine an empowerment model based on local wisdom and community participation to strengthen the sustainability of the Kani Wujo Ikat Weaving Group. The type of research used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interview techniques, participatory observation, and documentation studies, involving weavers, traditional leaders, and village officials as the main informants. Data analysis is carried out interactively through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, according to the Miles and Huberman analysis model. The results of the study show that group empowerment based on local wisdom and community participation encourages the maintenance of cultural values in weaving production, strengthens social solidarity, and increases adaptation to information technology in marketing. However, there is also a need to improve design innovation, expand market access, and strengthen the capacity of group financial literacy. In conclusion, approaches based on local wisdom and community participation are effective in maintaining the sustainability of traditional businesses and strengthening the economic resilience of communities. The suggestion for further research is to expand the focus on developing cultural-based business model adaptation strategies in the midst of global market dynamics and to quantitatively assess the economic impact of community empowerment based on local wisdom.

This study aims to explore the sustainability of Rumah Susun Sederhana Milik (Rusunami) as a viable housing solution for Low-Income Communities (MBR) in Surabaya. The study adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with residents, management representatives, and local government officials, as well as through field observations. Data analysis was conducted based on the indicators of the Adequate Housing Framework by UN-Habitat, which include secure tenure, affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, and the availability of basic services. The findings reveal that Rusunami is capable of providing affordable housing for MBR with a permanent ownership system, despite facing major challenges such as administrative barriers and low financial literacy. The program has proven to contribute to improving the quality of life of residents and reducing socio-economic inequalities. To ensure long-term sustainability, strategic measures are needed, such as simplifying administrative procedures and enhancing the financial literacy of the community. Development recommendations include improving the administrative system to ensure the program can be accessed by a larger number of MBR optimally.
