Abstract

This study is designed to investigate the planning of a Muslimah learning activity center as a self-development platform within the Peneroka Community in Palembang City. The initiative emerged in response to the growing need for holistic and value-driven non-formal education spaces tailored to Muslim women. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis.

The analysis framework is grounded in George R. Terry’s planning theory encompassing goal formulation, situational analysis, resource identification, strategy formulation, evaluation and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as well, which provides insight into the layered structure of human motivation from basic needs to self-actualization. Findings reveal that planning in the community is conducted collaboratively and contextually, utilizing hybrid learning strategies and adult education principles that align with the lived realities of participants. The designed programs address dimensions of spiritual growth, emotional well-being, financial literacy, social connectedness, and personal fulfillment.

Key supporting factors include leadership commitment, member participation, and digital technology utilization. Conversely, challenges arise from legal limitations, financial constraints, and infrastructural gaps. This research concludes that well-structured, value-oriented planning aligned with both management theory and psychological motivation can transform community-based initiatives into adaptive, inclusive, and impactful models of Islamic non-formal education, fostering holistic self-development for Muslim women.
