Abstract

Introduction: This study looks at how family communication in fishermen households in Bagan Kuala Village affects the low quality of education among their children. Many fishing families focus more on work and income than on school, which impacts children's motivation to learn. The main issue is that communication about education is limited and often one-sided, with parents making decisions without much discussion. This topic is important because not many studies have explored how family communication, not just poverty, plays a role in children's education in coastal communities.Methods: The research uses a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected from five fishermen families through purposive sampling. In-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation were used to explore communication patterns, and the data were analyzed thematically to identify meaningful insights.Results: Findings show that educational discussions are rarely prioritized in family communication, which tends to be one-directional from parents to children. Economic survival dominates decision-making, leading to weak motivation among children to pursue formal education. Only one family reported active dialogue about higher education.Conclusion: The study concludes that limited, economically driven communication within fishermen families contributes significantly to the low educational outcomes of children. This highlights the need for family-level communication interventions that emphasize the long-term value of education and empower both parents and children. The main takeaway is that improving educational quality in coastal communities requires addressing not only access and funding but also internal family dynamics and cultural values

Abstract

An organization is a place or container for a group of people who work together to achieve a common goal. Each individual in the organization has a specific and complementary role, thus creating harmony in carrying out tasks. Good communication allows the organization to run smoothly and efficiently. Conversely, if communication is lacking or does not work, the organization can experience chaos. Therefore, the role of leadership in organizational communication is very important, because leaders function as one of the main keys to the success of an organization. The purpose of this study is to analyze leadership communication in the North Sumatra Representative Office of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), measure employee performance, and identify the influence of leadership communication on that performance. The research method used is a quantitative method that relies on field data collection techniques that focus on numbers and numerical values. The data collection techniques used in this study were questionnaires and documentation. The results of this study indicate that there is a positive and significant influence of leadership communication on employee performance. Leadership communication has an influence on employee performance with an R Square value of 0.788. This indicates a strong and unidirectional relationship. This value indicates that 78.8% of the variation in employee performance is influenced by leadership communication, while 21.2% is influenced by other variables.

Abstract

Coastal communities are highly vulnerable to hydrometeorological disasters, such as tidal flooding, coastal erosion, and storm surges. Despite the implementation of various disaster risk reduction programs, community preparedness, particularly at the household level, remains relatively low. Previous studies have mainly focused on institutional communication and early warning systems, while studies examining the role of family communication as a micro-level foundation for disaster preparedness remain limited. This study aims to identify the forms of family communication crises in disaster management, analyze the role of family communication in shaping disaster awareness and preparedness, and formulate family communication strategies to enhance community resilience in Bagan Kuala Village, Serdang Bedagai Regency. This study employed a qualitative case study approach using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation and were analyzed using data triangulation. The findings indicate that family communication regarding disaster preparedness remains reactive, incidental, and unstructured. Most families only discuss disasters after hazards occur, resulting in limited disaster knowledge, inadequate household emergency planning, and weak preparedness behavior. The study further reveals that regular family communication can enhance disaster awareness, risk perception, and shared responsibility in responding to disaster threats. Based on these findings, four key strategies are proposed: encouraging routine family discussions on disaster risks, developing household emergency plans, involving all family members in disaster education, and strengthening collaboration among families, schools, and communities. The novelty of this study lies in positioning family communication as a strategic micro-level component in building disaster preparedness and resilience among coastal communities. Theoretically, this study extends disaster communication scholarship, which has predominantly focused on institutional aspects, while practically providing recommendations for the development of family-centered disaster mitigation programs.
