Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) of the North Sumatra Provincial Social Service (Provsu) in improving the welfare of the abandoned elderly in Binjai City. The abandoned elderly are a vulnerable group that needs special attention because they do not have family support, housing, or a fixed income. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants consisted of UPTD officers, elderly service recipients, and community leaders. The results of the study show that the UPTD of the Provsu Social Service has carried out various programs such as the provision of social institutions, basic needs assistance, health services, social and psychological coaching, and empowerment of the elderly. This program is generally considered effective in improving the quality of life of the elderly, but it is still faced with many obstacles such as budget limitations, inadequate facilities, and low public awareness. This study recommends increasing budget allocation, strengthening cross-sector cooperation, utilizing information technology, and educational campaigns as strategic steps to increase program effectiveness and create a more sustainable social protection system for the elderly.

Abstract

The post-truth era is characterized by the erosion of the role of facts in shaping public opinion, which is increasingly replaced by personal emotions and beliefs. The younger generation, as the dominant users of social media, faces serious challenges in sorting out accurate information amid the dominance of emotional content, algorithms that create echo chambers, and digital social pressures. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative approach based on literature studies to identify the main challenges faced by the younger generation and formulate strategies to improve information literacy. The study's results show that low media literacy, digital fatigue, a crisis of trust in institutions, and the weak integration of media literacy in formal education all contribute to increased vulnerability to disinformation. Therefore, a systemic approach is needed through the collaboration of various parties to form a healthy information ecosystem and strengthen the resilience of the digital generation to information manipulation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of cross-cultural communication in promoting local tourism in Tanjung Balai City. As a coastal city with ethnic and cultural diversity, Tanjung Balai serves as a dynamic interaction space for local residents, domestic, and international tourists. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method, through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that cross-cultural communication plays a crucial role in creating shared understanding, improving the quality of tourism services, and strengthening the destination's image. Harmonious cultural interactions can create a more inclusive tourism experience and expand the reach of local tourism promotion. However, challenges such as language differences, cultural stereotypes, and limited communication skills among local residents remain obstacles that need to be addressed. Therefore, a more targeted communication strategy is needed through cross-cultural training, collaboration between the government and tourism actors, and strengthening the role of the community in destination promotion. The findings of this study confirm that cross-cultural communication is a strategic factor that can increase the competitiveness and sustainability of local tourism in Tanjung Balai City.

Abstract

Kinship communication is a vital aspect of Batak culture, reflecting social structure, identity, and group norms. Within the multicultural setting of Universitas Medan Area, Batak students continue to carry these values into their daily interactions, including those conducted digitally. This study aims to examine the forms and dynamics of Batak students’ kinship communication, both in face-to-face and online interactions, through the lenses of symbolic interactionism and social identity theory. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was employed, involving eight purposively selected informants from various faculties. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews and limited observation of digital interactions. The findings reveal that Batak students consistently use kinship address terms such as tulang, amang, and namboru as symbols of respect for clan hierarchy, serving both as social control and expressions of collective identity. Moreover, digital media does not diminish these values but instead acts as a medium for cultural preservation and expansion. Students form online communities based on clan affiliation, maintain verbal etiquette, and strengthen solidarity through coordinated support and emotional connection. In conclusion, Batak students’ kinship communication proves to be adaptive, thriving not only in physical spaces but also contextually within digital environments. Traditional values remain relevant and are actively maintained, bridging culture and technology in a harmonious way.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) system through CCTV surveillance on Balai Kota Street, Medan City. The research focuses on how far ETLE contributes to improving traffic discipline while also identifying obstacles that hinder its implementation. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was applied, using interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data were analyzed thematically by referring to Duncan’s theory of organizational effectiveness, which consists of three approaches: Goal Approach, which assesses effectiveness based on the achievement of objectives; System Approach, which evaluates the organization’s ability to acquire, manage, and maintain resources; and Strategic Constituencies Approach, which measures effectiveness based on the extent to which the needs of key stakeholders are satisfied. The findings indicate that ETLE has made a positive contribution by increasing public awareness and encouraging more disciplined road use. However, its effectiveness remains limited due to technical issues such as signal disruptions and poor CCTV image quality; administrative problems related to outdated vehicle ownership data; and low public awareness caused by insufficient socialization. Therefore, improving technical facilities, updating vehicle data, and enhancing public education are crucial for optimizing ETLE implementation.

Abstract

The phenomenon of GPA inflation in Indonesian higher education reflects a complex social issue, where academic grades often fail to represent intellectual capacity and instead emerge as products of power relations between lecturers and students. This paper analyzes how symbolic power within academic spaces cultivates a culture of compliance and strategic adaptation among students in pursuit of cum laude honors. Employing a theoretical-critical approach and Michel Foucault’s discourse analysis, the study reveals that academic assessment systems frequently function as instruments of power reproduction, reinforcing academic feudalism and suppressing critical expression. High GPAs, in this context, are often symbolic compromises rather than genuine intellectual achievements. The findings suggest that social structures in universities shape students into submissive, administratively efficient individuals with limited intellectual courage—ultimately undermining the emancipatory function of higher education. This paper calls for academic decolonization to establish egalitarian dialogue, transparent grading systems, and a redefinition of respect (adab) as a foundation for critical and ethical discourse in education.
