The household industry of selendang lanterns on Jalan Rawa Cangkuk II, Tegal Sari Mandala III Village, Medan Denai District, has become an integral part of the life of the local community. This study aims to examine how the industry has an impact on the income and social relations in the community. With a qualitative approach, this research was carried out holistically through observation and interviews with individuals involved in this industry.

The Impact of Selendang Lantern Industry on Workers' Income and Welfare

The results of this study showed that the selendang lantern industry had significantly increased the income of its workers, most of which were housewives. With their skills, they can produce lanterns that not only decorate various events but also make an important financial contribution to their families. The wages received from this job provide economic stability, so that many of them are able to meet their daily needs and even set aside some for savings. The income generated from this industry has a positive impact on the welfare of the workers and their families, providing them with a sense of security and financial stability.

Social Relations in the Community: A Complex Dynamic

However, social relations between parties involved in the selendang lanterns industry are not always harmonious. In practice, there are varied social dynamics. Some individuals have good relationships, support each other and share knowledge in the production process. However, there are also tensions that arise due to competition and differences in interests, such as debt problems that often occur when workers owe threads from stores to produce lanterns. This shows that this industry not only affects economic aspects, but also social interaction in society. The social dynamics of the industry are complex, with both positive and negative interactions between workers and other stakeholders.

Tactics in the Production Process: A Cycle of Capital and Raw Materials

The tactics used in the scarf lantern industry are diverse, especially in terms of procurement of capital and raw materials. Many workers rely on loans from banks or relatives to start their business. In the production process, they often owe threads from the store, which allows them to produce lanterns without having to pay a large cost at the beginning. This creates a complex cycle in the home industry, where capital and raw materials are a determining factor for business continuity. The use of loans and debt to finance the production process creates a cycle of dependency on external resources, which can be challenging to manage.

Overall, the household industry of the selendang lanterns in Tegal Sari Mandala III Village made a significant contribution to the increase in the income of its workers. Although there are challenges in social relations, this industry remains an important source of livelihoods for the community.
