Abstract

One viral topic among Indonesian social media users in 2021 is the controversy regarding the removal of a mural in the public sphere by Authorities in many Provinces. This mural phenomenon is inversely proportional to the current condition where information and communication technology has developed rapidly as to why traditional methods of criticism such as murals reappear in today's modern era. In contrast, modern society prefers to use digital tools such as smart gadgets. This article explains the logical correlation of mural re-existence as a critical medium in the digital era. This research was designed as a descriptive qualitative study, and this research data was taken from pictures of viral deleted murals on social media. The analysis reveals that the re-existence of the mural as a critical medium in public spaces is due to the many cases of police reports related to the UU ITE. Besides, murals are more persuasive and direct, as means murals cause certain effects for the observer.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze disaster warning signs in Padang City, West Sumatra, using a multimodal approach within the framework of linguistic landscape studies. As a disaster-prone area vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, Padang provides a critical context to examine the effectiveness of visual and verbal communication in disaster warning systems. Data were collected through field observations and visual documentation of disaster signs in strategic locations. The findings reveal that these signs combine linguistic elements (monolingual and bilingual), visual components (symbols, colors, images), and strategic placement following national regulations. Symbols such as tsunami waves, tall buildings, and evacuation arrows enhance public understanding. However, the current signage design lacks inclusivity for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. Moreover, the integration of local cultural context and indigenous knowledge remains limited. This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic and inclusive approach to disaster signage design,one that not only complies with technical standards but also considers the social, cultural, and psychological dimensions of the community. The findings offer valuable insights for improving disaster communication systems to be more effective and adaptive for multilingual and multicultural societies.
