Abstract

This digital literacy is motivated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, people must adapt to new cultures such as work, school, and economic activities through online media. Advances in digital-based information technology cannot be stopped anymore and have become part of today's society's need., For this reason, it is necessary to increase public knowledge in the field of digital literacy. This study aims to determine the implementation of digital literacy programs in the community in Palembang City, among and students. This study uses a qualitative method, using the four pillars of digital literacy, digital skills, digital culture, digital ethics, and digital safety. The theory used in this study is the implementation theory of Grindle, in which determined by the content of the policy and the context of its implementation. The basic idea of this theory is that after the policy is transformed, its implementation takes place. Data analysis in this study used interactive model analysis of qualitative data from Miles and Saldana consisting of Data Condensation, Data Display, and Conclusion drawing or verifications. Based on this research, the four pillars of digital literacy are very important indicators in digital literacy programs. Digital skills are the most basic pillars of interest for the public to learn as basic knowledge of digital literacy. Then followed by digital ethics as further knowledge that needs to be studied so that people know ethics when using digital media. Based on this research, it can be concluded that the implementation of digital literacy will be successful if it is also supported by regulations, rules, and policies for equal distribution of internet networks in all regions of Indonesia, including in the city of Palembang. The government and relevant stakeholders should continuously improve the facilities and infrastructure related to digital literacy, such as expanding stable internet networks and boosting the economy through the development of various online businesses. The shared programs between the government and other communities in educating the masses need to be implied regulary, so that the people, especially in Palembang have an increase of digital literacy as a whole.

Abstract

The traditional methods of vote counting and recapitulation, which include manual and layered processes, are important to ensuring data security and addressing a lack of understanding of public information technology. However, it is essential to quickly and properly disseminate election results among an increasing number of survey findings within the community. Despite this contradictory scenario, it is imperative to employ information technology tools like SITUNG and SIREKAP to ensure transparent dissemination of election outcomes. The study applies a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting primary and secondary data sources including official documents, journal articles, and textbooks. By using three analysis techniques; first, by tabulating the data; second, to categorize the data; third, interpreting the findings based on the theoretical and construction of the data. The results of this study showed three main challenges to the use of digital-based recapitulation: first, the lack of a clear legal basis for the SITUNG and SIREKAP applications, which has triggered criticism from election participants and observers; second, incomplete system support characterized by limited network connectivity, which has created difficulties for field operators in the local level; and third, inappropriate data management in the SITUNG and SIREKAP applications, which included incorrect data entry. Election organizers should be aware that technology-based recapitulation data can become digital evidence for contesting parties in election courts.

Abstract

The debates surrounding the parliamentary threshold and presidential threshold have become a recurring phenomenon, particularly in the period leading up to general elections in Indonesia. This paper aims to examine the pros and cons of the implementation and determination processes of both thresholds. Employing a qualitative research method and library research as the primary data collection technique, to validate the data then this research used data triangulation technique. In the Indonesian context, the thresholds applied constitute a form of formal threshold, namely thresholds determined through political and legislative processes in parliament. Consequently, threshold policies are heavily influenced by the configuration of political power among parties. This study finds several key points: First, the discourse on the parliamentary and presidential thresholds has generated intense debate among political scholars, ranging from those who support to those who oppose it, each with their own rationales. Second, the application of formal thresholds as a political product is largely shaped by the position of political parties and the results of previous elections. Consequently, political parties’ responses to the thresholds are inherently dynamic and subject to change over time.

Abstract

This study examines the construction, dissemination, and framing of Artificial Intelligence (AI) narratives associated with Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka in online mass media during his first year in office (October 2024–October 2025). Drawing on political symbolism and political branding frameworks, AI is reconceptualized not merely as a technical instrument but as a strategic symbolic resource deployed to build political legitimacy and project a future-oriented leadership image. The novelty of this study lies in its hybrid methodological approach that integrates critical discourse analysis (CDA) with computational topic modeling (Latent Dirichlet Allocation/LDA), while performing a unique technological triangulation by comparing the performance of three Python libraries—Gensim, Scikit-learn, and Tomotopy—to map digital political discourse in Indonesia, an area hitherto underexplored. Analyzing 540 online news articles, the research identifies five core discursive themes, including AI integration in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), collaborations with global tech giants, school curriculum adoption, and deepfake-driven political hoaxes. Computational evaluation demonstrates that Tomotopy yields the best semantic consistency, achieving the highest coherence score (0.653). Ultimately, beneath the pervasive technological optimism, this study concludes that the AI narrative serves as an instrument of symbolic power that actively obscures structural digital infrastructure disparities between regions, offering vital theoretical and methodological contributions to digital politics in developing nations.
