THE ROLE OF STUDENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SHARIA-BASED ECONOMY IN BUKITTINGGI

This research aims to deepen the study regarding the role of encouraging and inhibiting factors for students in developing a sharia-based economy in Bukittinggi. The results of the research show that students in Bukittinggi have a significant role in realizing a sharia-based economy. They are not only innovation agents who design creative business models, but also proactive entrepreneurs. Through seminars, workshops and entrepreneurship training, students create an environment that supports the exchange of ideas and development of practical skills. Driving factors, such as religious awareness, education, institutional support, and innovation, motivate students to be actively involved. On the other hand, lack of understanding or lack of knowledge, limited resources, level of community participation, and legal and regulatory challenges are obstacles that need to be overcome.
