Abstract

Research on digital tourism communication remains dominated by discussions of social media, mobile applications, and online promotion, while the role of religious tourism websites in fulfilling users' informational, emotional, identity, social, tension-release, and spiritual needs has not been comprehensively explained. This limitation makes it difficult for destination managers to design websites that are not only informative but also capable of conveying religious meaning and experience. This study aims to analyze the functions of digital media in religious tourism websites through the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) perspective and to formulate an audience-gratification-oriented conceptual website model. The study employs a qualitative descriptive literature review of 16 scholarly sources published between 2007 and 2025, comprising journal articles and academic publications on digital tourism communication, religious tourism, website interactivity, user experience, and U&G theory. The data were analyzed through bibliographic classification, data extraction, content analysis, thematic coding, mapping onto cognitive, affective, personal identity, social integration, tension release, and spiritual dimensions, followed by theoretical interpretation and conceptual synthesis. The findings show that religious tourism websites function as information and educational hubs, promotional media, spaces for digital engagement, reinforcers of religious identity, and mediators of spiritual experience. The synthesis produces a model linking user motives, content, multimedia, navigation, and interactivity with audience gratifications, religious experience, satisfaction, engagement, and visit intention. Spiritual gratification emerges as a contextual extension of U&G theory in religious tourism communication

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology requires young generations, particularly Madrasah Aliyah students, to possess adequate skills and understanding in information technology. However, many students at MAN Kota Surabaya still lack sufficient knowledge of the fundamental concepts of mobile application system design, which are essential to face challenges and opportunities in the digital era. This training activity aimed to provide initial knowledge and skills in developing mobile applications and to specifically enhance students’ competencies in understanding the basics of system design. The program was conducted through interactive training combining lectures and hands-on practice. The training materials covered an introduction to application systems and requirements analysis, business process design, database design, and UI/UX design. The activity was held at MAN Kota Surabaya on July 15, 2025, involving 34 students. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ understanding of basic mobile application system design. Evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests showed increased enthusiasm and learning motivation due to the use of case-based training methods. The average pre-test score of 76 increased to 93 in the post-test, representing an improvement of 17 points. Detailed results showed score increases of 1 point in meeting one, 35 points in meeting two, 24 points in meeting three, and 9 points in meeting four. In conclusion, the training not only provided practical skills but also fostered students’ motivation to continuously develop their competencies in information technology.
