Abstract

This research aims to optimize tourism potential in the Buton Islands, Indonesia, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Big Data Analytics. The study addresses the low tourism potential in the region and constraints in tourism development, such as lack of information and data. Qualitative methods include document analysis, literature studies, and focus group discussions. Quantitative methods involve surveying respondents about the use of GIS and Big Data Analytics in tourism development. Data was collected from government documents, online news, and direct observation of tourist sites. The results emphasize the importance of IT and GIS in developing the tourism sector in the Buton Islands, particularly in Baubau City and South Buton Regency. GIS is crucial for identifying and managing tourism potential, while Big Data Analytics helps optimize development by analyzing visitation trends, tourist preferences, and consumer behavior patterns. The integration of these technologies can improve tourist experience and efficiency of tourism-related public services. By integrating GIS, Big Data Analytics, and Information Technology, local government and stakeholders can collaborate to create a superior tourism experience, support local economic growth, and ensure the sustainability of the natural and cultural environment in the Buton Islands.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the growing trend among various entities, including government organizations and private companies, in using social media platforms for communication strategies within the overall organizational environment. This phenomenon is widely regarded as a favourable development due to the inherent openness of the Web 2.0 environment, which allows for the dissemination of information and the facilitation of active engagement, discourse, and the creation of online communities. Nevertheless, the optimistic perspective on the advantages of social media communication in organizations ignores potential conflicts between the principles of openness associated with Web 2.0 and organizational management strategies and practices. This research aims to investigate the utilization of social media by several organizations in Indonesia. A qualitative approach was applied to generate the research findings by conducting in-depth interviews with informants from the research object and various social media specialists. These interviews aimed to explore methods for resolving conflicts between the nature of social media and organizations' strategic and managerial aspects. Specifically, this research focuses on addressing conflicts related to control and governance. The research results suggest a potential path for further exploration in the field of public communication, particularly in aligning organizational goals with the needs of online communities.

Abstract

Introduction: Datafication still plagues Indonesian journalists, especially local ones, skewing news validity and neutrality. Indonesian journalists from 13 local media were surveyed and interviewed for this study. This study relied on several studies that suggest journalists may deliver more accurate, objective, and unbiased news by expanding their datafication capacity. As digital technology advances and social media spreads misinformation, it becomes critical. Methods: Mixed-methods experimentation and triangulation. Indonesia has 13 native media representing its diversity. Using regional media, this study can illustrate data journalism literacy levels in different locations, including those with differing technology and education. We chose material based on data journalism approaches including data visualization, infographics, and data-driven reporting. This ensures study-relevant respondents. Findings: Indonesian media's poor data literacy has a big impact. Data-driven journalism in local media is poor due to data analysis incompetence. Access and chances for journalists to develop data skills are major issues. Clearly, formal training is needed. Another factor is local media's focus on reporting speed over data analysis. Lack of technology and institutional support hinders local journalist data literacy projects. Originality: Previous studies on Indonesian journalists' datafication knowledge and abilities are scarce and fragmented. Despite data journalism's growing popularity in newsrooms and academic status, comprehensive study is needed to define it.

Abstract

This study analyzes the visual content the Instagram account @visitbuteng uses to promote tourism destinations in Central Buton. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach, explaining the analysis of visual content in promoting tourism in Central Buton on the Instagram account @visitbuteng. The results indicate that visual content analysis conducted through specific content placement and tourism activities on Instagram, the website, and YouTube is practical and can generate positive feedback and rapid responses. However, promoting tourism destinations in Central Buton on Instagram via @visitbuteng is ineffective if it only uploads daily content or reposts other content. A better visual content strategy is needed to maximize tourism promotion through Instagram.   Keywords: Visual Content, Central Button Tourism Promotion, Instagram Social Media

Abstract

Hoaxes are a perilous byproduct of huge technology advancements, particularly the rise of social media. Using Twitter as an example, it is one of the most popular social media platforms for information sharing, communication, and entertainment. As a consequence, Twitter users may readily propagate fake or hoax information. The aim of this study is to find public opinion about hoaxes derived from Twitter user conversations around COVID-19. This study makes use of Twitter data obtained from Drone Emprit Academic. This study examined all processed tweets and surveyed public opinion on "Hoaks" (including mentions, retweets, and replies). The DEA engine analyzes the word frequency and mood of Twitter users to determine if a predominant emotion is good, negative, or neutral. According to the study results, netizens remarked on the COVID-19, alleging that the appearance of the Delta type variation was caused by the vaccination, not the virus. They do not regularly check facts owing to boredom, laziness, and reliance on just one source of information verification. Furthermore, only information that corresponds to their interests and needs will be approved. Thus, via discourse about Hoax, social media allows the formation of a platform for mutual understanding, sharing, and dynamically debating the meaning of demonstrations. This research provides a contribution to the disclosure of information about public opinion towards a discourse discussed on Twitter with the help of a DEA engine.
