Abstract

Volunteer participation has become an important element in local development implementation, especially in regions where public service delivery faces geographical, institutional, and social constraints. In areas with dispersed communities, limited service capacity, and recurring health and disaster-related pressures, volunteers and community facilitators often support the implementation of government programs at the community level. This study examines how media visibility represents volunteer participation in local government development implementation in West Papua. Using media-based content analysis, this study mapped 55 publicly indexed news reports published in 2024–2025 based on volunteer role, location, period, source, and search query. The findings show that reported volunteer activities were concentrated in hub areas, particularly Sorong and Manokwari. Health-related activities, especially blood donation, dominated public reporting, while education, social support, and environmental activities received less attention. The media also tended to frame volunteering as institution-led and programmatic service rather than community-based mutual aid. These findings indicate that media visibility may create representational bias by privileging accessible locations, formal institutions, and standardized activities. This bias can affect how volunteer contributions are recognized in local development policy and may reduce attention to less visible community-based initiatives. The study contributes a repeatable media-based approach for identifying visibility bias in volunteer reporting and provides empirical insight for improving equity-oriented development implementation in geographically dispersed regions.

Abstract

The family is the smallest level at which human development in Indonesia remains inadequate. When the responsibilities of each family member are well-fulfilled, and a sound management system supports the household's quality of life, family welfare can be considered good. For human development to succeed, men, especially heads of households, must actively participate in providing for the family's basic needs. Due to Indonesia's patrilineal cultural framework, women are underrepresented in human development initiatives. Consequently, Dasawisma (village-based community development programs) serves as a means of empowering women to improve household living standards. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the quality of life of urban households through Dasawisma can improve overall human development in Wenang District, Manado City. Data were collected directly from respondents using standardized instruments as part of a quantitative approach utilizing explanatory research. The results of statistical findings show in the t-Test that the Protecting variable (X3) is greater than the Enabling (X1) and Empowering (X2) variables so that it is the most dominant among the three and significant for household quality, this is also in line with the positive regression coefficient which shows that the higher the role of Protecting (X3) felt by the household, the higher the quality of life achieved.
