The implementation of Al-Qur'an Reading Guidance (Belajar Baca Qur'an/BBQa word in the Indonesian language) program using traditional methods is considered not effective in terms of management, and lagging behind in terms of technology utilization. This has led to the development of a Learning Management System (LMS), specifically for Al-Qur'an learning, namely-BBQ. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of e-BBQ in improving the ability to read the Qur'an and the extent of e-BBQ acceptance by students and instructors in the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) 3. This study used a nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design by comparing two groups with and without e-BBQ, accompanied by interviews at the end of the study. The results showed that even though Al-Qur'an reading ability in both groups increased significantly, the increase in the e-BBQ group was higher than the group without e-BBQ. Student's and instructor's perceptions of e-BBQ showed that e-BBQ was considered easy and useful. In conclusion, e-BBQ is capable of enhancing students' Al-Qur'an reading ability. The usefulness and ease of use perceived by students became the main factors in this LMS acceptance, and helped them to improve their Al-Qur'an reading ability.

This research is a discourse to streamline the development of the city branding concept of Magelang City of One Million Flowers by exploring the potential of local wisdom owned by the City of Magelang. Currently, the City of Magelang has the slogan "Magelang City of a Million Flowers". This idea is based on the history of the colonial era which at that time was the City of Magelang better known as Tuin Van Java (Garden City / Park of Java). However, on the one hand, the application of the concept has not yet run optimally. The contributing factor is the incompatibility of the concept with the fact that there is potential and the formation of an image that is not running optimally. According to the potential and the facts of the existing situation, the City of Magelang has great potential by developing the concept as a Heritage City (a city of cultural heritage) which is then followed by the concept of sustainable communication strategies that lead to heritage matters and of course according to aesthetic rules. The Magelang City Government has another choice, which is to continue the Magelang City One Million Flower program, but with the support of visual concepts that utilize all parts of the city to create a communication process by providing direct experience to consumers, namely by utilizing artifacts in the City of Magelang. Artifacts that are part of the culture of the community and have been imprinted in the memory of the community are enhanced with original flower decorations, especially the types of flowers typical of the City of Magelang and its surroundings.
