Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed the landscape of political participation, with social media becoming a major platform for political campaigns and discussions. Social media allows wider access to political information and increases public engagement in elections, especially among young voters. However, challenges such as algorithmic bias, disinformation, and political polarization increasingly threaten the integrity of democracy. The echo chamber and filter bubble phenomena cause users to only be exposed to information that is in line with their views, narrowing the space for healthy discussion. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to analyze the role of social media in the 2024 Election campaign. Data were collected through interviews with political communication experts, focus group discussions (FGDs) with young voters, and analysis of campaign content on various digital platforms. The results of the study show that although social media contributes to increasing political participation, the risk of information manipulation and exploitation of user data remains a major concern. Therefore, collective efforts are needed to improve digital literacy, tighten regulations on the spread of hoaxes, and encourage transparency of social media platform algorithms. With these steps, social media can function as a more effective means of strengthening democracy and ensuring more transparent elections based on valid information.

Abstract

Social inequality and economic disparity are still deep-rooted structural problems in the lives of Indonesian society. Although various empowerment programs have been launched by local governments, many of them are symbolic and technocratic, and fail to touch the roots of social injustice. This study aims to analyze social intervention strategies in community empowerment programs through a critical sociological approach. Using a literature study method with a qualitative approach, this study examines key theories such as power relations (Foucault), symbolic power (Bourdieu), capability approach (Sen and Nussbaum), and participatory parity (Fraser). The results of the analysis show that the dominance of power in the planning and implementation of empowerment programs often ignores the local socio-cultural context and narrows the space for citizen participation. Empowerment, which should be transformative, has instead become a tool for legitimizing elite, top-down policies. Therefore, the integration of substantive capability and participatory approaches in local policies is needed to dismantle structural inequality and build democratic, just, and inclusive governance. This study emphasizes the importance of reorienting the empowerment paradigm from merely administrative to social transformation that favors marginalized groups and expands the real freedom of society.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of local wisdom values with digital technology in empowering tourist village communities in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. Bone Regency has strong cultural values such as siri' na pacce which are the foundation of collective identity, but tourism village development policies are still uniform and do not accommodate local cultural characteristics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation in several tourist villages. Thematic analysis was conducted to understand the dynamics of the meaning of local values, technology adaptation, and community participation. The results of the study indicate tension between cultural preservation and the demands of modern digitalization. Village communities adopt technology selectively with the important role of traditional leaders as curators of cultural content. Social media is an effective means of promoting and expressing cultural identity, but low digital access and literacy are obstacles. The study emphasizes the need for an inclusive and participatory digital empowerment approach, involving all community actors to make technology an instrument for preserving and strengthening culture while encouraging sustainable socio-economic transformation of tourist villages. This model is expected to bridge tradition and modernity harmoniously in the context of local tourism development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between public policy and digital participation and its impact on government transparency and accountability. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review method, this study examines various academic sources and international agency reports to identify conceptual patterns in digital governance practices. The analysis shows that the digitalization of public policy not only accelerates administrative processes but also reforms the governance paradigm towards structural transparency based on open data. Digital participation acts as a democratic mechanism that strengthens social accountability through citizen involvement in direct oversight of public policy. However, challenges such as the digital divide, data security, and information ethics remain obstacles to realizing inclusive digital governance. This study emphasizes that the success of digital public policy is determined by the synergy between technological innovation, public digital literacy, and the government's ethical commitment to openness. Therefore, digital transformation must be viewed not merely as a technocratic agenda, but as an instrument of socio-political reform that strengthens the legitimacy and public trust in government in the global information era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Community Empowerment Program (PKM) "Creative Youth Anti-Unemployment" in improving the social skills and entrepreneurial capacity of community-based youth in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with 30 research subjects, consisting of 22 youth program participants, 3 community leaders, 3 training facilitators, and 2 supporting partners from MSMEs and the local government, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included Focus Group Discussions, in-depth interviews, and field observations. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles-Huberman model through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the community plays a significant role in developing participants' social skills, including communication, leadership, and teamwork. Practice-based training and mentoring improve entrepreneurial capacity, product design, financial management, and business marketing skills. The integration between the community and training encourages participants' readiness to start independent businesses and reduces the risk of unemployment. The PKM program successfully fosters a resilient, creative, and proactive entrepreneurial mindset and strengthens social networks that support business sustainability. These findings confirm that community-based youth empowerment is an effective strategy for economic independence and sustainable social capacity development.

Abstract

Digital transformation has shifted the learning process from physical to virtual spaces, influencing patterns of interaction and social relations between students and educators. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to understand the subjective experiences of students and educators regarding changes in social relations during virtual learning. The research subjects consisted of 15 students and 5 educators selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, virtual observations, and digital documentation, then analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological stages. The results show that social relations in virtual learning spaces tend to be more functional, influenced by the intensity of digital interaction, technological access and literacy, communication ethics, social identity, and emotional aspects of students. The gap in digital access and capabilities creates new social stratifications that affect student participation and engagement. Changes in communication ethics and psychological pressures, including anxiety about appearing in front of a camera, also affect social cohesion. Group collaboration and support between students are important factors in building social closeness. Teachers have a strategic role in creating digital learning spaces that support healthy social interactions. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of learning strategies that maintain the quality of social relations in the digital era.
