Abstract

This study analysed the role of WhatsApp in mobilising environmental activist communities in the Ciputat Subdistrict, South Tangerang. WhatsApp has become the primary communication platform for disseminating information, coordinating activities, and fostering community engagement. This research employs a qualitative approach using netnography. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 13 informants, comprising community leaders, members, and government representatives, as well as participant observation within the community’s WhatsApp group over a three-month period, from May to July 2024. The findings indicate that WhatsApp is effective for the rapid dissemination of critical information, such as environmental clean-up schedules, illegal dumping alerts, policy updates, and educational materials on waste management. WhatsApp also facilitates open discussions by providing a space for members to share opinions, personal experiences, and collaboratively develop action plans through group chats, multimedia sharing, and polls. However, several challenges were identified, including information overload, limited responsiveness from some members, constraints in facilitating in-depth discussions, and technical barriers such as unstable internet connectivity. Despite these obstacles, WhatsApp plays a significant role in strengthening social bonds among community members and fostering collaboration with local government authorities. This study concludes that WhatsApp can serve as an effective tool to support environmental movements at both local and national levels. Its effectiveness could be further enhanced by integrating other communication platforms to meet their existing limitations.

Abstract

Reog Ponorogo faces preservation challenges in the digital era, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to examine the role of social media exposure and cultural knowledge in shaping public interest in Reog Ponorogo culture. This quantitative explanatory research surveyed 100 respondents aged 15-25 years in Tangerang Regency using an online questionnaire. The collected data were specifically analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The test results prove that social media exposure and cultural knowledge, both partially and simultaneously, have a positive and significant effect on public interest. The coefficient of determination analysis confirms that the integration of these two variables explains 53.6% of the variance in public interest in preserving Reog Ponorogo. In conclusion, digital exposure and cultural understanding positively predict public interest. This study recommends regular socialization regarding healthy social media usage and cultural education as a strategic effort to preserve Indonesian culture.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis optimalisasi produksi podcast dan berita dengan memanfaatkan teknologi digital pada media online Indoposco, berdasarkan teori konvergensi media yang dikemukakan oleh Henry Jenkins. Teori ini mencakup teknologi, ekonomi, budaya, sosial, dan global. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan manajemen redaksi internal (seperti direktur konten, pemimpin redaksi, dan tim kreatif) serta konsumen eksternal (Generasi Z dan Milenial), dan juga dilengkapi dengan observasi langsung serta dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indoposco berhasil mengoptimalkan produksinya melalui integrasi analisis berita konvensional dengan data secara real-time (Google Trends dan Google Analytics), memanfaatkan sistem penyimpanan cloud storage 'Bank Materi Liputan, menerapkan sistem multitasking bagi jurnalis, serta memperkenalkan model paket periklanan terintegrasi (bundled advertising). Meskipun langkah-langkah strategi ini menciptakan efisiensi operasional dan memenuhi kebutuhan informasi dari audiens yang beragam, proses konvergensi masih menghadapi tantangan teknis seperti folder algoritma digital dan waktu rendering video, serta masalah non-teknis seperti beban kerja yang tinggi, guncangan budaya di antara jurnalis yang dialami, dan ketidakstabilan jadwal tayang akibat verifikasi redaksi yang ketat.

Abstract

The expansion of extractive development has intensified environmental conflicts in many indigenous communities, particularly where economic interests threaten ecological sustainability and local living spaces. The resistance of Samin women in the North Kendeng Mountains, Central Java, represents a significant environmental movement in which women have actively challenged cement industrialization and limestone mining. This study analyzes how Samin women construct ecological resistance by integrating the perspectives of ecofeminism, new social movement theory, and environmental justice. Using a qualitative case study approach, we collected data through in-depth interviews with key actors in the movement, field observations, and document analysis covering government regulations, environmental assessments, legal documents, and media reports. The findings indicate that the Samin women’s movement emerged in response to environmental injustice arising from extractive development that threatened water resources, agricultural livelihoods, and cultural sustainability. Through the philosophy of Ibu Bumi [Mother Earth], women transformed ecological knowledge and cultural values into political agency. Their resistance developed through symbolic actions, legal advocacy, and collective networks involving local communities, civil society organizations, academics, and broader environmental movements. This study argues that the Samin women’s movement is not merely opposition to cement plant development but represents a multidimensional struggle for ecological justice, cultural identity, and the protection of community living spaces.
