Abstract

Agriculture and farmers are sectors and parties affected by climate change. Unfortunately, farmers' knowledge and adaptive capacity are still low due to the limited climate change information that they receive. The development of communication models to strengthen the interaction and flow of information has been very active. However, it has not yet addressed the lack of empowerment and scarcity of farmer participation. Therefore, we need a dialogical, horizontal, participatory communication model with an emphasis on empowerment and farmer participation. This research, using a participatory communication model, aims to see how participatory communication can encourage the empowerment and adaptability of farmers to climate change. This study uses a participatory action research approach with participatory data collection techniques for the Rural Communications Assessment (PRCA). The theory used is participatory communication and social change, which allows farmers and researchers to be equally involved and dialogue to occur. This research demonstrates the fact that participatory communication through a dialogue process can promote common goals and action in dealing with climate change. In addition, this research was also able to increase farmer empowerment, which was marked by changes at the individual farmer and social levels. These changes take the form of strengthening farmers' knowledge, perceptions, and skills related to climate change and adaptation actions and increasing farmer participation in village development planning. Farmers have been able to push the issue of strengthening farmer resilience to become part of the village development plan.

Abstract

Mainstream media shows a gap in engaging public participation, producing alternative content, and introducing social change. It is hoped that alternative media can be counter-hegemonic to mainstream media by providing a different perspective from the dominance of existing information. Women's alternative media can provide a voice and platform to empower women and place women's issues in their reporting. This study uses a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach and case study design. Researchers use the concepts of development communication, development journalism, and alternative media. The primary research subjects (informants) are the editors-in-chief or executive editors of five women's alternative media. The results of this study explain that women's alternative media contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable space in society. They change negative narratives and stereotypes about women that frequently appear in mainstream media by creating more positive and accurate representations. They use creative and innovative ways to provide educational content about job skills, training, and self-development. They promote role models by featuring women's success stories in various fields. They interact directly with their communities to better connect with their audiences, understand their needs, and utilize digital platforms and social media to reach a wider audience.

Abstract

Situ Gede is an ecotourism destination in Bogor City that combines the attractions of a lake ecosystem and a forest. Situ Gede ecotourism is a community-based ecotourism site managed by the Local Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Situ Gede. Communication interactions within Pokdarwis generate various fantasy themes, which then form symbolic convergence (Bormann, Cragan, & Shields, 2001). These fantasy themes flow through both offline and online communication via WhatsApp group. This research aims to understand how the fantasy themes formed within Pokdarwis Situ Gede relate to the principles of ecotourism development. This study is qualitative, employing several methods, including virtual ethnography, observation, and interviews. The findings reveal that the rhetorical vision of Pokdarwis Situ Gede can be divided into four pillars: environmental education, conservation, community empowerment, and livelihood enhancement.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to 1) describe youth attitudes toward tourist village management and 2) analyse the factors influencing these attitudes. Methodology/approach: This study employs a mixed-methods approach, primarily quantitative with qualitative support. Using purposive sampling, we selected 71 respondents meeting the following criteria: aged 17-45 years, current residency status (non-travelers), employment status (working or unemployed), marital status (unmarried). Results/findings: The study revealed three key findings: 1) Youth attitudes toward tourism village business management were generally positive, with the affective dimension being most prominent; 2) Five factors significantly influenced these attitudes: individual characteristics, entrepreneurial traits, social learning, environmental support, and motivation. These factors collectively explained 49.4% of the variance in youth attitudes. Conclusions: Although youth maintain positive beliefs and evaluations regarding tourist village business management, this does not necessarily translate into their intention to engage in more formal contexts. Other determining factors come into consideration, including potential benefits and work flexibility. Limitations: This study does not account for tourism village infrastructure conditions, which may be significant predictors of youth attitudes toward tourism village business management. The quantitative design may overlook nuanced motivational factors. We recommend that future research employ FGD to examine youth motivations in greater depth qualitatively. Contribution: The village government can implement a two-pronged strategy to foster youth entrepreneurship: 1) Establish Village Youth Business Groups, 2) Create Experiential Learning Opportunities. This approach combines structural support with social learning, increasing capability and motivation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research was aimed to study the role of local innovator in communication activities of micro-hydro innovation adoption. Data was collected by using questionnaires in census principle to 99 household heads of the innovation adopter. The result showed that majority of the microhydro electricity adopters in Kedungrong, Blumbang, and Jarakan Villages were observing first the positive development before they finally adopted it. Majority of them adopted micro-hydro electricity at first 3 years since the local micro-hydro installations were built completely in their respective villages. Few other adopter family heads then followed adopting micro-hydro electricity at 4-6 years since the local micro-hydro installations were built completely in their respective villages. Eventually fewer other adopter family heads then followed adopting micro-hydro electricity at 7-10 years since the local micro-hydro installations were built completely in their respective villages. Majority of the respondents only used cellphone as communication channel with WhatsApp application in it to communicate between one and another.

Abstract

Teori komunikasi lingkungan berkembang sebagai respons terhadap kompleksitas persoalan ekologis yang tidak dapat diselesaikan melalui pendekatan teknokratis semata. Salah satu pendekatan kunci dalam komunikasi lingkungan adalah teori partisipasi publik, yang menekankan keterlibatan aktif masyarakat dalam proses pengambilan keputusan lingkungan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas teori partisipasi publik dalam kerangka komunikasi lingkungan, meliputi asumsi dasar, akar keilmuan, metode penelitian yang umum digunakan, perkembangan teori dalam riset dalam artikel-artikel jurnal, serta kekuatan dan kelemahannya dalam menjelaskan isu komunikasi pembangunan. Selanjutnya, artikel ini mengkaji penerapan model komunikasi partisipasi publik dalam pengelolaan kawasan konservasi oleh masyarakat adat di Papua. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa praktik komunikasi partisipatif berbasis kearifan lokal dan institusi adat berkontribusi pada keberlanjutan ekologis dan keadilan sosial dalam konteks pembangunan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

With the development of new media, there is a great opportunity for society to become more involved in environmental issues. However, previous research still shows a significant gap: most studies focus on the use of social media as a source of information, whereas the mechanisms used by new media to shape significant engagement, from awareness to collective action, are not well understood. Additionally, as most research has been conducted in the context of developed countries, the dynamics of digital participation in developing countries, such as Indonesia, are less well represented. By contrast, the State of the Art (SOTA) shows a shift from linear communication models to patterns of “collaborative action” and “networked collaboration,” in which people work together through digital platforms using personalized stories, virtual communities, and citizen data. This study conducted a systematic literature review using a descriptive-qualitative approach. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) principles and environmental communication matrix theory were used in the screening process; the Theory of Planned Behavior, Affordances Platform, and Theory of Social Impact were combined to create a thematic analysis. The relationship between new media features, the way user interactions occur, and the emerging forms of environmental participation became the focus of the analysis. The synthesis results show that new media can function as a communication ecosystem that accelerates the dissemination of environmental information, strengthens social norms that support the environment, and expands participation—from symbolic actions, such as sharing content, to substantive actions, such as donations, reporting environmental conditions, digital campaigns, and community collaboration. However, significant challenges, such as disparities in digital literacy, algorithmic bias, information polarization, and the lack of online participation, leading to offline actions with real impact, were also found. To optimize the use of new media as a driver of sustainable environmental action, this study emphasizes that a more inclusive digital communication model, evidence-based content strategies, and cross-actor collaboration are necessary.

Abstract

Tourism villages are promoted as a community-based rural development strategy in Indonesia, yet participatory communication practices vary despite similar policy frameworks. This study examines: (1) how individual characteristics influence participatory communication; (2) how media exposure affects participatory communication; and (3) how stakeholders’ roles shape participatory communication in Alamendah and Cibiru Wetan Tourism Villages. Using a post-positivist paradigm and a mixed-methods Sequential Explanatory design, quantitative data from 77 respondents in each village were analyzed using PLS-SEM and complemented with in-depth interviews. he study compares Alamendah Tourism Village, which represents a dialogical–relational governance model characterized by strong local leadership and embedded collective reflection, and Cibiru Wetan Tourism Village, which represents a procedural–operational model marked by institutional integration and centralized coordination. The findings demonstrate that individual characteristics and stakeholders’ roles significantly influence participatory communication in Alamendah but not in Cibiru Wetan, while media exposure shows no significant effect in either case. The results indicate that participatory communication is determined less by structural strength or media intensity and more by how communicative authority and dialogical spaces are distributed and institutionalized in governance practices. Conceptually, the study highlights a relational understanding of participatory communication, emphasizing dialogical space and institutionalized reflection as core determinants of participatory depth.

Abstract

This study departs from the observation of the use of digital applications in village forest management, where women are more active in data collection and communication, reflecting the beginning of gender role transformation in village forest management in Kuala Indragiri Sub-district, Indragiri Hilir District. It investigates how digitalization affects women’s participation in village forest management institutions (VFMI) and how sociocultural norms shape the gender digital divide. Using a mixed-methods case study in two mangrove coastal villages - Sapat and Sungai Piyai Village - the research combines surveys, in-depth interviews, participant observation, meaning that the higher the gender digital divide, the lower the role of women in institutions. Men dominating technical applications such as Avenza Maps (mapping), while women limited to administrative or communication tools WhatsApp and KoboToolbox (online surveys). Although limited, women's involvement in training and the use of digital applications is beginning to open space for recognition of their strategic role in village forest governance, reflecting the potential for gender transformation. Affirmative and intersectional strategies are needed, to minimize the reproduction of existing gender gaps. This study contributes to the discourse on inclusive digital transformation by highlighting the importance of overcoming structural and cultural barriers in social forestry programs. The findings also have the potential to be replicated in other coastal communities that face similar challenges in digitalization and gender inequality.
