Abstract

Indonesia, the world's largest archipelagic nation, faces significant challenges in equitable access to healthcare services, particularly in remote areas. Telehealth presents a potential solution to bridge this gap, particularly in primary healthcare. This study aims to examine the effectiveness, accessibility, and readiness of Indonesia's primary healthcare system to adopt telehealth, based on a review of international and national scientific literature. The study results indicate that telehealth can improve service effectiveness by accelerating diagnosis, improving referral mechanisms, and interprofessional collaboration. Healthcare worker satisfaction also increases, particularly when supported by adequate digital infrastructure. However, telehealth adoption remains unequal, with users concentrated in urban areas and groups with high digital literacy. Other challenges identified include uneven digital infrastructure, inadequate healthcare worker training, and the absence of regulations guaranteeing data security and electronic medical record (EHR) interoperability. While there is potential for leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence to improve service efficiency, the success of this transformation depends on inclusive regulations and cross-sectoral leadership. Therefore, telehealth must be viewed not merely as a technological innovation, but as a tool for systemic transformation that requires readiness in infrastructure, regulations, human resources, and community participation.

Abstract

This study examines the role of education in increasing social awareness and community participation in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua, an area rich in natural resources but still lagging behind in terms of education and welfare. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study explores in depth how education contributes to social change and the factors that influence its effectiveness. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, participant observation, document analysis, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving local communities, educators, community leaders, local governments, and civil society organizations. The results of the study showed a positive correlation between education levels and levels of social awareness and community participation in development. Statistical data shows that the community's education profile is still low with 18.4% not attending school, 35.6% having elementary school education, 25.3% having junior high school education, 15.2% having high school education, and only 5.5% having higher education. The study identified four main inhibiting factors: limited access to education, lack of qualified educators, low community awareness of the importance of education, and local cultural aspects that limit educational participation. To address these challenges, five strategies are recommended: improving educational infrastructure, training educators, developing non-formal education programs, utilizing technology, and collaborating with civil society organizations and the private sector. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the linkages between education, social awareness, and community participation in remote areas, and provides practical recommendations for developing more effective and sustainable education policies.

Abstract

Traditional farming systems are a form of long-term interaction between humans and their environment that manifests ecological and cultural adaptation. This study aims to explore the dynamics between the preservation of local knowledge and the pressures of modernization in the transformation of traditional farming systems of indigenous peoples in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua. Using an ethno-science approach with qualitative-descriptive methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, FGDs, and documentation studies in the Moskona, Wamesa, and Sumuri indigenous communities. The results of the study indicate that traditional farming systems are still maintained with high dependence on sago (85%), sweet potatoes (72%), taro (66%), and bananas (54%) as sources of food and cultural identity. The transformation of the farming system does not follow a linear pattern from traditional to modern, but rather creates a hybrid system that selectively combines traditional elements with modern technology. Indigenous peoples are not passive in facing change, but actively negotiate and adapt based on their ecological and cultural interests. The ethno-science approach offers a framework for integrating local knowledge into development planning, without ignoring the ecological and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples. Dialogue between local knowledge systems and modern science can produce more adaptive and inclusive agricultural policies, especially in indigenous areas such as Teluk Bintuni that face pressure from natural resource exploitation.

Abstract

Public discourse surrounding the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program has grown rapidly as the government seeks to improve children’s nutritional intake through large-scale meal distribution. However, various implementation issues such as reports of food poisoning, substandard meal quality, and suspicions of budget mismanagement have raised concerns about the program’s effectiveness and integrity. This study aims to analyze public perceptions of the MBG program using YouTube comments as a data source to understand dominant narratives and sentiment trends. The research employs text preprocessing, N-gram extraction, word cloud visualization, and sentiment analysis using a transformer-based model to evaluate linguistic patterns and emotional polarity. The results show that negative sentiment dominates with 2,242 comments, significantly higher than positive and neutral categories, driven by frequent occurrences of terms such as korupsi, proyek, bocor, and masalah. Word cloud and N-gram findings reveal recurring themes related to food safety, financial transparency, and program implementation gaps.
