Abstract

Purpose: The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR-RI) is mandated to represent the people's voice through general elections. This role becomes meaningful when DPR ensures transparency by providing public access to information. However, its commitment to information disclosure is questionable, especially after limited public access to documents related to the KPK Law revision, Omnibus Law, and the Job Creation Bill. This study analyzes the implementation of public information disclosure policies within the DPR-RI. Methodology: This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Primary and secondary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants and literature studies related to the topic. Result: The research shows that the implementation of the Public Information Disclosure Law in the DPR-RI is not yet optimal. This is particularly seen in the underutilization of media channels and poor management of information sources. Conclusion: The ineffectiveness of public information disclosure implementation in DPR-RI stems from limited use of digital media, weak performance of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID), and lack of institutional commitment. These factors obstruct transparency and accountability in a democratic legislative institution. Limitation: This study is limited to evaluating the DPR-RI and does not include a comparative assessment with other government institutions or legislative bodies. Contribution: This research contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of public information policy implementation in legislative institutions as part of communication policy studies.

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) in Lampung Province has increased from 70.45 in 2022 to 71.15 in 2023. However, Lampung's HDI is still the lowest in Sumatra. One of the factors causing this is the low Average Length of School (RLS) which is only 8.29 years, the second lowest in Sumatra. The low RLS is due to the low public interest in higher education. Economic factors and lack of understanding of the importance of higher education are the main causes. The Service Team from the Department of Communication Sciences then provides education, motivation, and mentoring to parents and high school students in Lampung to increase their interest in higher education with scholarships. Effective persuasive communication strategies are used to change people's perceptions of the cost of higher education and open up their insights into available scholarship opportunities. Before the training began, a pre-test was conducted to measure the level of participants' initial understanding of higher education and scholarships. The results of the pre-test showed that most participants had a limited understanding of higher education opportunities and accessible scholarship resources. After a series of training sessions that included educational, motivational, and mentoring sessions with a persuasive communication approach, a post-test was conducted to measure the impact of the activity. The results of the post-test showed a significant improvement. In addition to increasing knowledge, the participants also revealed a change in attitudes towards higher education. Parents, who had previously been worried about the cost of education, showed greater interest in supporting their children to pursue higher education through the scholarship pathway. The students who took part in the training also showed greater enthusiasm and motivation to continue their education. Overall, this service activity has proven successful in achieving its goal, which is to increase public awareness and interest, especially in Lampung Province, to continue higher education through scholarships.

Abstract

Climate change constitutes a globally significant issue that has garnered extensive attentionwithin digital communication due to its impacts across various sectors of society, includingfood security. This study examines the information-seeking behavior of Indonesian internetusers concerning climate change and food security to acquire insights into the public's recognition of the relationship between these two issues. Employing a quantitative descriptive-correlational methodology, the research employs Google Trends data from May to August 2025, analyzing the relative search volume (RSV) of keywords associated with climatechange, its impacts, mitigation, adaptation, and food security, complemented byAutocorrelation Function (ACF) and Cross-Correlation Function (CCF) analyses. The resultsindicate a very strong correlation between public interest in climate change and searchesrelated to its impacts (r = 0.97), whereas the direct correlation with food security searches iscomparatively weak (r = 0.24); interest in mitigation and adaptation similarly remainsconsistently low. Nonetheless, CCF analysis demonstrates that attention to climate changeand food security becomes more closely aligned after a time delay, with strengtheningobserved at short lags of two to three days (r = 0.41–0.46) and at longer lags of approximatelythree months (r up to 0.74). This suggests that public concern regarding climate change is notconsistently or immediately associated with food security issues but may become connectedover time. The study provides valuable insights into the structure and temporal dynamics ofpublic attention within the digital domain and emphasizes the necessity for communicationstrategies that explicitly and promptly link climate change with food security.
