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

MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) play an important role in supporting the economy in Banten Province, with significant contributions to GRDP, job creation, and key sectors such as trade, manufacturing, and tourism. However, despite their great economic potential, MSMEs in Banten still face complex challenges, such as difficulties in accessing capital, low financial literacy, and dependence on local political policies. This study aims to analyze the role of MSMEs in political economic policies in Banten Province, identify the challenges faced by MSME actors, and provide policy recommendations that can improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in the region. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a case study method, which focuses on several cities and districts in Banten, such as Tangerang City, Serang City, and Pandeglang Regency. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with MSME actors, local government officials, and related organizations, as well as direct observation at MSME business locations. The data obtained were then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results of the study show that although government programs to support MSMEs have been launched, their distribution is not evenly distributed, especially in remote areas. The main challenges faced are limited access to capital, dependence on political decisions, and low financial literacy. In addition, digitalization is a great opportunity, but limited infrastructure is an obstacle. Based on these findings, the study provides policy recommendations, such as increasing access to financing, financial literacy training, equalizing assistance programs, and strengthening digital infrastructure to support the sustainability and growth of MSMEs in Banten.

Abstract

The digital divide between the younger and older generations has become an important issue in social communication in the digital era. This study investigates the differences in understanding and use of digital technology between generation Z, generation Y, and generation X/Baby Boomers in Bandung City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with case studies, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and surveys of 90 respondents. The results showed that the younger generations (Z and Y) have higher digital skills, especially in the use of social media and instant messaging applications, while generation X and Baby Boomers still rely more on face-to-face communication and telephone. This digital divide creates barriers in intergenerational communication, causes social isolation among the older generation, and limits their participation in wider social spaces. These findings suggest that interventions such as digital literacy training and the creation of inclusive spaces for intergenerational collaboration can reduce the digital divide and improve social communication. This study provides important insights into how the digital divide affects intergenerational relationships in Bandung City and suggests strategic steps to reduce the gap through education and technology empowerment programs.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the last two decades has significantly changed the face of democratic politics. AI is used in political campaigns, policy-making, and interactions between governments and citizens. For example, the launch of an AI tool called Nostrada in the UK that allows the public to interact with digital avatars of members of parliament, and the use of AI in the 2024 US election campaign to personalize messages and raise funds. However, the use of AI also poses major risks, such as the spread of disinformation through deepfakes and social media bots, and the amplification of algorithmic bias that can harm certain groups. AI systems that operate as “black boxes” pose challenges to transparency and accountability in political decision-making, thereby reducing public trust. Several countries, especially the European Union, have begun to implement regulations to prevent the misuse of AI, such as transparency obligations and deepfake detection. In addition to regulations, digital literacy is key to strengthening critical public participation in digital content. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a literature review to analyze the benefits and risks of AI in politics. The results emphasize the need for cross-sector collaboration to develop ethical and transparent policies so that AI strengthens digital democracy, not weakens it. This study highlights the importance of balancing technological innovation and protecting democratic values ​​in the face of an increasingly complex digital era.

Abstract

Digital transformation has fundamentally changed television broadcasting management in Southeast Asia. This study examines two countries, Indonesia and Malaysia, which are at different stages of digital adoption. A qualitative research method with a case study approach is used, combining an international literature review, policy documents, and semi-structured interviews with broadcast practitioners. Thematic and comparative analysis, framed by the Dynamic Capabilities Framework, uncovers three main aspects: (1) organizational restructuring and multi-platform strategies; (2) technology adoption including DVB-T2 infrastructure, IP-based production systems, and AI for content recommendation; and (3) business model innovation through digital revenue diversification (YouTube, programmatic advertising, and OTT). The results show that Malaysia benefits from centralized policies and early infrastructure readiness, while Indonesia still faces challenges of decoder ownership, regional digital divide, and legacy-new system integration. Both countries emphasize the importance of human resource training, public-private collaboration, and incentive policies to accelerate digital adoption. Recommendations for the study include strengthening dynamic organizational capabilities, funding innovation, and digital literacy programs for the community. These findings provide strategic guidance for stakeholders to optimize broadcasting management in the digital era, towards an inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to document the ethnobotanical knowledge of the Dayak Kenyah community in East Kalimantan as an effort to preserve culture and the environment. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews, walking transects, and visual documentation, this study identified 47 plant species utilized by the Dayak Kenyah community. The results showed that the plants were categorized based on their main functions, namely as medicine (38%), food (30%), building materials (19%), and ritual purposes (13%). Several types of key plants such as Tengkawang (Shorea spp.), Sungkai (Peronema canescens), Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri), and Katimpun (Uncaria gambir) have important values in the cultural and ecological structure of the community. Custom-based conservation practices such as Tana' Ulen are concrete evidence of the implementation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) that supports the sustainability of forest ecosystems. However, there are indications of a decline in the interest of the younger generation in this local knowledge, with only 27.8% of young informants being able to identify more than 10 types of local plants. This study recommends the integration of TEK with modern conservation strategies and the revitalization of traditional knowledge through local culture-based education to ensure the sustainability of valuable traditional ecological knowledge.

Abstract

Indonesia, the world's largest archipelagic nation, faces long-standing inequality in the distribution of healthcare workers, particularly in its eastern regions such as Papua, Maluku, and East Nusa Tenggara. This study investigates the structural causes of health workforce maldistribution and the limited success of physician retention programs over the last decade. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study combines a systematic literature review, policy document analysis, and secondary data evaluation, including findings from recent Discrete Choice Experiments (DCE) involving over 500 physicians. Results reveal that despite government programs like Nusantara Sehat and mandatory rural service, the national ratio of healthcare workers (3.84 per 1,000 population) remains below the WHO standard for Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and retention in remote areas is still critically low (<25% after two years). Regional disparities persist, with Papua and NTT suffering from the highest shortages up to 48% of community health centers lack doctors. The DCE findings confirm that non-monetary factors such as guaranteed safety, adequate hospital infrastructure, career development opportunities, and legal housing significantly influence physician retention, more so than financial incentives alone. Policy interventions remain fragmented and overly reliant on temporary placement incentives, without addressing systemic issues such as geographic isolation, weak intersectoral coordination, and limited rural training pathways. In response, the study recommends a shift toward holistic, long-term solutions, including CBME-based medical education, integrated specialist training in remote areas, expanded telemedicine capacity, and real-time health workforce planning systems. Addressing the maldistribution of healthcare workers is vital not only for equity in health access but also for national development. With coordinated, evidence-based policy reform, Indonesia has the potential to strengthen rural healthcare systems and accelerate progress toward its 2030 SDG and UHC targets.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public perception of the music royalty controversy in Indonesia through YouTube comments. The development of digital technology has made YouTube a public space where discourse on cultural and policy issues, such as music royalty payments in the commercial space, is openly expressed. This study uses a quantitative approach with sentiment analysis based on the RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach) model adapted for Indonesian, namely the Indonesian RoBERTa Base Sentiment Classifier. Primary data was obtained from comments on a YouTube video titled "Royalty Polemic, Cafes Afraid to Play Indonesian Songs" published by KompasTV. The analysis results show that negative sentiment dominates public conversation with 9,595 comments, far exceeding neutral (3,395) and positive (2,548) sentiment. This dominance of negative sentiment reflects strong public resistance to the royalty payment policy, which is perceived as an additional burden for business actors. Further qualitative analysis reveals that negative sentiment generally contains criticism and concern, while neutral sentiment is descriptive, and positive sentiment, although minor, indicates support for musicians' copyright protection. This study concludes that YouTube serves as a spontaneous and broad reflection of public opinion, and the use of the RoBERTa model proved effective in capturing the rich nuances of informal language in comments. This research contributes to filling a gap in the literature, which tends to focus on legal and economic aspects, by providing a digital data-based understanding of public responses to the issue of music royalties.
