Abstract

People with chronic illnesses face significant physical and psychological challenges, making social support an important aspect in improving their quality of life. The development of social media opens up new spaces for digital social interactions that can provide social support. However, the dynamics of communication and the effectiveness of digital social support in the context of chronic illness are still poorly understood comprehensively. This study used a mixed methods approach with quantitative data collection through online questionnaires (n=200) and qualitative data through semi-structured interviews and social media content analysis. Quantitative analysis was conducted with descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative analysis used thematic analysis to explore experiences and communication patterns in digital communities. The results of the statistical analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between digital social support and psychological well-being (r = 0.62), disease management motivation (r = 0.58), and user satisfaction (r = 0.65), with p-values ​​<0.001 for all variables. This indicates that adequate digital social support contributes significantly to improving the well-being and motivation of people with chronic illnesses. Qualitative data revealed that emotional and informational support were dominant in community interactions, which were asynchronous and multilateral. However, the risk of misinformation, privacy issues, and negative psychological impacts such as anxiety were also found to be major challenges. The novelty of the study lies in the integration of quantitative and qualitative analysis in the context of digital social support for people with chronic diseases, as well as highlighting the risks of digital communication that have received little attention in previous literature, thus broadening the understanding of digital communication and health theory. Social media has the potential to be an effective means for social support for people with chronic diseases if communication risks can be managed well. The development of safe platform features and digital literacy education are suggested to improve the quality of digital social support, so further research is needed to expand the context and develop adaptive interventions.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the coastal community's economic capacity through the integration of mangrove reforestation and the development of educational tourism (edutourism) in Kampung Nipah, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra. The community faced several problems, including limited knowledge about mangrove ecosystems, lack of conservation experience, and underdeveloped coastal tourism potential. The program adopted a participatory approach and hands-on training methods. Survey results showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding of mangroves, shifting from mostly low and moderate categories before the program to entirely moderate and high levels afterward. Furthermore, 100% of participants expressed satisfaction with the activities. The program also led to new economic initiatives such as the establishment of a local edutourism management group, tour guiding training, and the development of derivative mangrove products. In conclusion, the program effectively empowered the community both ecologically and economically, despite certain limitations related to time constraints and limited participant reach. Further assistance is recommended to ensure the sustainability of the program’s outcomes.

Abstract

The development of Indonesia’s creative economy depends not only on technological innovation but also on the ability to utilize cultural and natural potential as valuable economic assets. This study aims to analyze the role of strategic communication in transforming culture and nature into sustainable creative economic investments. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method on creative economy development programs based on culture and ecotourism in selected regions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that strategic communication plays a vital role in building synergy among the government, creative economy actors, and local communities. Effective communication strategies transform public perceptions of cultural values and natural resources from mere heritage to sustainable economic resources. Moreover, digital media utilization expands promotional reach and strengthens regional branding as a creative destination. The study concludes that the successful transformation of culture and nature into sustainable creative economic investments relies on holistic, participatory, and adaptive communication planning responsive to social and technological changes. Thus, strategic communication functions not merely as a message delivery tool but as a transformative instrument for social change toward a sustainable creative economy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Samsat Night Program in increasing Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) revenue at UPTD Bapenda Binjai and to identify the factors that hinder its implementation. The Samsat Night Program is a public service innovation that extends operating hours into the evening to provide easier access for taxpayers who are unable to fulfill their obligations during regular working hours. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the effectiveness of the Samsat Night Program, based on Duncan’s (1981) indicators goal attainment, integration, and adaptation has not yet been fully optimal. In terms of goal attainment, the program has contributed to improving service delivery and PKB revenue; however, the increase has not been significant overall due to fluctuating levels of public participation. From the integration perspective, coordination among related institutions (Bapenda, the Police, and Jasa Raharja) has functioned relatively well in the technical implementation of services. Meanwhile, from the adaptation aspect, the program has adjusted service hours to meet community needs but still faces challenges such as limited socialization, restricted service locations, and low taxpayer awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of women and child protection policies through the evaluation of the performance of Civil Servants (ASN) at the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection and Family Planning of North Sumatra Province, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors both from within (internal) and outside (external) the organization that are suspected to influence the performance achievements of ASN. In addition, the evaluation of ASN performance specifically in the context of this program has not been conducted comprehensively, thus requiring a more in-depth study. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis of ASN performance refers to performance indicators according to Agus Dwiyanto, which include productivity, service quality, responsiveness, responsibility, and accountability [1]. The results show that the policy implementation has generally been carried out, but it has not been optimal. Several obstacles identified include limited human resources, coordination constraints, and uneven program socialization. Supporting factors include regulatory support, institutional commitment, and cross-sector collaboration. Therefore, strengthening human resource capacity, improving inter-agency coordination, and optimizing program socialization are needed so that the implementation of women and child protection policies can run more effectively.

Abstract

This study focuses on the challenges in socializing the 2024 General Election in Mandailing Natal Regency, influenced by the diverse geography, ranging from coastal to mountainous regions. This creates accessibility issues, especially in remote areas, requiring extra time and cost and having limited infrastructure. The research aims to analyze the strategies the General Election Commission (KPU) implemented in socializing the 2024 General Election and the barriers faced. Based on Chandler's theory (2015), the results show that the KPU's strategies have been effective, with volunteer programs involving religious communities, such as Islamic boarding schools. The appropriate actions also contribute to increasing public understanding of the election process. However, resource allocation presents a challenge, as evidenced by Adhoc Committee members' lack of emotional attachment, not having strong ties to the organization, limited funding, and insufficient understanding among Adhoc members. More intensive training is needed to address these challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of human resource management in improving the quality of One-Stop Integrated Services (PTSP) at UPT PEPENDA (SAMSAT) Kabanjahe. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and data triangulation. The focus of the research is directed at the aspects of planning and sufficiency of human resources, recruitment, training and development, work motivation, performance evaluation, and their implications for the speed, accuracy, and responsiveness of public services. The results of the study show that the implementation of PTSP has provided easy access to services for the community, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on the quality and management of human resources. The limited number of employees in a certain period still affects the waiting time for services. Continuous training, work motivation, and performance evaluation play an important role in maintaining service quality. Cross-agency synergy, especially with the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia, also strengthens the accuracy and certainty of service. This research emphasizes that strengthening human resource management is the key to improving the quality of sustainable public services.

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of One-Stop Integrated Services (PTSP) in improving the quality of Motor Vehicle Tax payment services at SAMSAT Kabanjahe, Karo Regency. PTSP is positioned as an instrument of bureaucratic reform that aims to simplify procedures, increase service certainty, and strengthen the effectiveness of public services. The article uses a descriptive qualitative approach by collecting data through observation, in-depth interviews with SAMSAT officials and employees, as well as the taxpayer community, and documentation studies. The results of the discussion show that the implementation of PTSP is able to increase the certainty of service procedures and times, strengthen coordination between agencies, and encourage transparency and accountability of services. The support of standard operating procedures, the use of information technology, and the improvement of the competence of apparatus contribute to the creation of more effective and responsive services. Although some types of services still require a certain turnaround time, PTSP has increased public trust and satisfaction. This article emphasizes that strengthening PTSP has the potential to encourage taxpayer compliance and support the optimization of regional tax revenues in a sustainable manner.
