The Covid-19 pandemic has hit Indonesia since March 2020. To anticipate this, the government has implemented various policies, including pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB) and pemberlakukan pembatasan kegiatan masyarakat (PPKM). This policy is expected to be one way to prevent community activities outside the home so as to avoid the transmission of Covid-19. However, the PSBB and PPKM policies are considered to have a significant impact. The impact felt by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a decrease in profit levels and feelings of psychological pressure, feeling anxious about business continuity in the future. This situation makes SMEs feel psychologically depressed. To anticipate the psychological pressure experienced, the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Tarumanagara (F.Psi. UNTAR) under the coordination of Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Universitas Tarumangara (LPPM UNTAR) organizes community service activities (PkM) for MSME actors. The author (PkM Team) is one of the representatives of F.Psi. UNTAR. One of the materials provided by the PkM Team in the activity was coping strategies. Through the provision of coping strategy materials, it is hoped that MSME actors can anticipate and manage the psychological pressures experienced, so that they remain enthusiastic in managing their businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this article, we will discuss the methods of coping strategies provided and the evaluation of the results of the mini seminar activities that have been carried out.Pandemi Covid-19 telah melanda Indonesia sejak bulan Maret 2020. Untuk mengantisipasi hal tersebut, pemerintah telah menerapkan beragam kebijakan diantaranya berupa pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB) dan pemberlakukan pembatasan kegiatan masyarakat (PPKM). Kebijakan tersebut diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu cara untuk mencegah aktivitas masyarakat di luar rumah sehingga terhindar dari penularan Covid-19. Namun demikian, adanya kebijakan PSBB dan PPKM dinilai memberikan dampak yang signifikan. Dampak yang dirasakan oleh pelaku Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) adalah penurunan tingkat keuntungan dan perasaan tertekan secara psikologis, merasa cemas terhadap keberlangsungan usaha di masa mendatang. Keadaan inilah yang membuat para pelaku UMKM merasa tertekan secara psikologis. Untuk mengantisipasi tekanan psikologis yang dialami, Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Tarumanagara (F.Psi. UNTAR) di bawah koordinasi Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Universitas Tarumangara (LPPM UNTAR) menyelenggarakan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) bagi pelaku UMKM. Penulis (Tim PkM) merupakan salah satu perwakilan F.Psi. UNTAR. Salah satu materi yang diberikan oleh Tim PkM pada kegiatan tersebut adalah strategi koping (coping strategies). Melalui pemberian materi strategi koping, diharapkan pelaku UMKM dapat mengantisipasi dan mengelola tekanan psikologis yang dialami, sehingga tetap bersemangat dalam mengelola usaha mereka selama masa pandemi Covid-19. Dalam artikel ini, akan dibahas mengenai metode strategi koping yang diberikan dan evaluasi hasil kegiatan mini seminar yang telah dilakukan.

<p>Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have an important role and strategic for economic growth. This is because at the time of the economic crisis in Indonesia, SMEs are the economic sectors which have the most excellent durability. Wedoro Village in Sidoarjo city, Indonesia, is famous for the footwear creative industry especially slippers and shoes. A wide variety of slippers and shoes with different types available. Stores and outlets are widespread across the village. Wedoro region has been known as one of the predecessors of creative industries in the field of footwear. Currently the industrial centres of creative footwear is experiencing a decline in sales compared with its heyday in 2001-2006 years ago. This research aims to design a development strategy of the creative industry centre in Wedoro by using SWOT analysis and grand strategy. The results of this study indicate that the cause of the decline in sales is a flood of Chinese products, rising raw material prices, and the lack of innovation in product design. Hence, creative industry in Indonesia especially in Wedoro Village might need a guidance from the government in developing innovation in product design and marketing. It is therefore expected that the existence of a creative industry in Wedoro can grow and create occupations especially for local residents and also increase the revenue of the Sidoarjo city.</p>

The difficulty in accessing loans is one of the major barriers to the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. Low accessibility to capital forces SMEs to spend both official and unofficial costs in order to obtain loans, and/or to access the unofficial market at higher interest rates, thereby increasing cost of production of enterprises. Studies suggest that the determinants of bank loan processing through which small and medium enterprises can access official loans include: characteristics of enterprises; indicators, reflecting the performance of enterprises; characteristics of loans; characteristics of enterprises, enterprise owners; geographical position of enterprises; the creditworthiness of enterprises and the role of the network.Purpose of the study.The aim of this paper is the quantitative analysis of the factors, affecting accessibility to credit capital of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam.Materials and methods.This study was conducted on the basis of a survey in December 2017. The survey includes 301 enterprises in Hanoi city. Selected enterprises are also enterprises, surveyed in the annual enterprise survey by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam. This paper uses the Probit and Logit regression approach to estimate the impact of factors, affecting the disbursement probability of a loan of an enterprise. The number of SMEs accounts for 56.69% of the samples. The number of enterprises, applying for a bank loan accounts for 58.4% of the total samples, of which the percentage of disbursed loans for SMEs accounts for only 47.3%. For enterprises without a bank loan, eliminating the reasons for the lack of demand and unwish to be in debt, the main reasons not to access bank loans are high interest rates, complicated loan procedures and insufficient collateral.Results.The results obtained from the Logistic and Probit models show that the estimated coefficients are statistically significant, affecting the probability of taking a business loan, accepted by financial institutions. Although the coefficients, estimated from Logistics model are larger than those estimated from the Probit model, the estimated results show that the direction of impact of the variables in two estimation techniques gives quite similar results.Conclusion.Based on the results of this study, the Government of Vietnam should implement policies to support SMEs in the direction of improving their access to capital. The credit institutions should design products and services suitable to the characteristics of SMEs in Vietnam.
