Abstract

This research aims to analyze communication patterns in the formation of self-concept in early adults who experience fatherlessness, analyze self-disclosure in early adults, and to analyze communication barriers felt by early adults who experience fatherlessness in Medan City. The theories used in this research are Symbolic Interaction Theory, Self-Concept and Self-Disclosure. This study uses a qualitative method. The number of informants in this study was 6 (six) early adults who experienced fatherlessness. The research results show that the absence of a father causes the emergence of dysfunctional communication patterns in the family which affects various aspects of the informants' lives such as communication with the surrounding environment and their self-concept. Communication barriers found in early adult individuals are psychological barriers or psychological noise, which is caused by the loss of the father's role due to death or his absence in the informant's growth and development during childhood. This condition creates a fear of communicating and causes difficulty in expressing feelings

Abstract

Generation Z students in Takengon City are a generation of active social media users who are more susceptible to addiction than members of other gayo community groups. Social media which provides various conveniences and enjoyable effects for students can cause a tendency and dependence in carrying out daily activities. This research aims to analyze the habits of Generation Z students in choosing social media in Takengon City, as well as the media habits of Generation Z students in using social media in Takengon City. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method through a case study approach on six Generation Z students who are highly dependent on social media. Data analysis is carried out by describing or illustrating the data that has been collected as it is without the intention of making generally applicable conclusions. Data collection techniques were carried out through field observation, interviews and documentation which were analyzed descriptively using triangulation techniques. The results of this research show that Generation Z students tend to choose social media platforms that are trendy and popular among teenagers and prefer soft news that is related to their popularity. Generation Z students in Takengon City always provide a special schedule for accessing social media ranging from 3 to 6 hours per day. Generation Z students who actively use social media will be more popular than other students. The presence of social media makes it easier for students to socialize and communicate and build relationships, both from Takengon City and with all students from all universities in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the network structure, theme development, and density of disaster mitigation, deforestation, and government communication policies, as well as examine its implications for socio-ecological vulnerability conditions in North Sumatra. This research method uses a quantitative approach with a bibliometric design through the metadata analysis of publications for the 2020–2025 period, each as many as 1291 articles for the theme of disaster mitigation, deforestation, and government communication policies, as well as 59 disaster-related articles in North Sumatra, using VOSviewer to map network visualization, overlay, and density. The results of this study reveal that the dominance of policy clusters as a link between deforestation and flood risk shows that the effectiveness of disaster mitigation in North Sumatra is highly determined by the direction, consistency, and integration of development policies. The findings of the study density on policy and land use issues directly imply the need to tighten licensing, control deforestation, and spatial and watershed planning as mitigation policy priorities. Meanwhile, the shift in theme towards more specific flood risk assessments underscores the need for prevention and data-driven policies, which must be strengthened through transparent and participatory government risk communication in order to transform risk knowledge into long-term vulnerability reduction collective action.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the construction of the meaning of humanitarian messages and psychosocial recovery as well as the representation of the role of actors, empathy, and social solidarity in Instagram content @aniesbaswedan in the post-disaster situation in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. The study used a qualitative method with a content analysis design, referring to the Krippendorff approach, on 22 Instagram posts for the period of November 27–December 23, 2025 which were analyzed interpretively through thematic categorization and interpretation of latent meaning. The results showed that humanitarian messages were constructed through empathic narratives, the use of inclusive diction, visual direct engagement with survivors, as well as an emphasis on collective solidarity and the sustainability of recovery, while psychosocial recovery was represented as a long-term social process involving non-survivor actors, community social capital, dignity values, and recognition of the emotional and cultural experiences of affected communities. These findings confirm that content @aniesbaswedan serves as an alternative digital public space that complements the state's formal narrative in responding to disasters. This study recommends strengthening empathic, participatory, and community-based post-disaster communication strategies for governments, humanitarian organizations, and public figures, as well as encouraging cross-platform follow-up research and audience approaches to deepen the study of humanitarian communication and psychosocial recovery.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the framing of the government and citizen-generated content on flood information in Aceh Tamiang and compare the construction of meaning, responsibility, and handling recommendations built by the two actors in the digital communication space. The method used is qualitative research with Robert Entman's framing analysis design, using data in the form of TikTok content consisting of official government clarifications and public content in the November-December 2025 period, which is collected through non-participatory observation and documentation, then categorized based on the function of problem definition, causal diagnosis, moral assessment, and solution recommendations. The results show that government framing tends to emphasize stability, perception control, and institutional legitimacy by reducing crises as controlled situations, while citizen-generated content displays the reality of humanitarian crises, inequality of handling, delayed responses, and social and ecological damage as the center of meaning, thus forming a strong counter-narrative in the digital public space. The comparison of the two framing shows the battle of meaning between the narrative of state stability and the direct experiences of survivors that affect audience reception and public trust. This study recommends the repositioning of government disaster communication towards a more transparent, empathetic, and participatory approach, strengthening risk communication based on field experience by disaster management agencies, and the development of advanced research that integrates framing analysis with audience reception studies and digital platform dynamics.

Abstract

Flooding is one of the most frequent hydrometeorological disasters in urban areas in Indonesia and causes significant social, economic, and humanitarian impacts (BNPB, 2024). Medan City, particularly the Kampung Lalang area in Medan Sunggal District, is an area that experiences repeated flooding due to high rainfall intensity and overflowing of the Deli, Babura, and Sunggal watersheds. Data from the Deli Serdang Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in November 2025 recorded 16 fatalities, 40,094 houses submerged, and 207,441 people affected by flooding and landslides in the Medan area. Meanwhile, the Medan City BPBD reported that 3,181 houses and 10,391 people were affected by flooding in October 2025 with no fatalities. In disaster situations, communication plays a strategic role as a means of coordination, conveying emergency processes, and raising public awareness of disaster management policies. The Medan City BPBD serves as a disaster communication command center that coordinates information between agencies, volunteers, and affected communities. This study aims to analyze the communication strategy of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in handling the flood disaster in Kampung Lalang, focusing on the role of communicators, coordination patterns, and obstacles in disseminating messages to the community. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results indicate that the effectiveness of the BPBD's communication strategy is influenced by the credibility of the communicators, the clarity of information flow, and synergy between agencies. However, challenges remain, such as low community risk literacy and the complexity of field conditions in flood-prone areas.

Abstract

This study examines how empathic interpersonal communication practiced by Family Assistance Teams (TPK) contributes to stunting prevention in Labuhanbatu Utara District, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study design grounded in Interpersonal Communication Theory and the Communication for Development (C4D) approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and focus group discussions with TPK cadres, families at risk of stunting, and local policymakers. The findings demonstrate that empathic communication characterized by openness, responsiveness, and emotional sensitivity plays a critical role in fostering parental behavioral change related to child nutrition and health. Home visits, interpersonal dialogue, and the use of everyday language enhance families’ understanding and acceptance of healthy practices by strengthening trust and reducing resistance. However, the effectiveness of these practices is constrained by geographical barriers, social stigma, and limited communication training among cadres. This study’s main contribution lies in highlighting empathic interpersonal communication as a key behavioral-change mechanism within community-based stunting prevention, reinforcing C4D as a practical framework for advancing Indonesia’s zero-stunting agenda.

Abstract

Flood disasters in North Sumatra Province show an increasing trend, both in terms of the frequency of occurrences and the magnitude of their impacts, thereby necessitating adaptive and responsive crisis communication strategies that address community needs. In this context, Instagram has become an important medium for disseminating disaster-related information to the public. This study aims to analyze the role of Instagram in the dissemination of flood disaster information in North Sumatra through a case study of the official accounts @bpbdprovinsisumut and @infobmkgsumut, using the perspectives of contemporary communication theory, crisis communication theory, and agenda-setting theory. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis techniques applied to posts and user interactions during the disaster period. The findings indicate a complementary division of roles: the @infobmkgsumut account is more dominant in the pre-disaster phase by delivering early warning information based on meteorological data, while the @bpbdprovinsisumut account focuses on the emergency response and post-disaster phases through evacuation information and the coordination of aid. The use of visual elements such as infographics and field documentation has proven effective in simplifying technical messages so they are easily understood by the public. However, the communication pattern applied remains predominantly one-way and institutional in nature, with limited emphasis on empathy and the narratives of victims’ experiences. In addition, the management of two-way interactions in the comment sections has not been optimally utilized as a channel for reporting residents’ emergency conditions. This study concludes that Instagram has evolved into a dynamic social space in disaster management, yet strengthening human-centered message framing strategies is still necessary.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of participatory communication among volunteers in managing disaster command posts for flood victims in Pengkolan Village, South Tapanuli, and to identify obstacles encountered in its implementation. The study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation of three volunteers directly involved in disaster command post management. The results show that participatory communication by volunteers plays an important role through the application of two-way dialogue, active community involvement, equality of roles, adaptation to the local context, and community empowerment in disaster command post management. The implementation of participatory communication still faces obstacles in the form of language and cultural differences, limited communication networks, and differences of opinion in emergency situations. The conclusion of this study confirms that adaptive and empathetic participatory communication can improve the effectiveness of disaster command post management and strengthen the participation and independence of the affected community.
