Abstract

The 2010 eruption of Mount Merapi led the Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Magelang Regency to implement the Sister Village Program as a participatory disaster mitigation strategy. This study aims to examine how communication was managed to support this initiative, focusing on audience identification, goal setting, message planning, and channel selection. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with BPBD officials, village leaders, and residents from both disaster-prone and buffer villages. Findings show that the integration of local knowledge, structured dialog through the three plano papers, and inclusive stakeholder engagement played a critical role in enhancing preparedness and response. The study highlights that communication strategies rooted in community-driven practices foster trust, coordination, and timely evacuation. These results suggest that participatory communication management is essential for effective disaster mitigation and should be adapted to other disaster-prone areas in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines how Generation Z students experience multicultural awareness and navigate affective polarization in both everyday life and digital spaces. Using a Heideggerian phenomenological design, it explores how students emotionally respond to cultural, ethnic, and religious differences encountered in their social interactions. Participants were purposively selected from a culturally diverse university in Surakarta, Indonesia, and interviewed in depth. Hermeneutic analysis reveals that students often face emotional ambivalence, tension, and fatigue when engaging with pluralism, leading them to adopt strategies such as emotional withdrawal, selective silence, or ethical self-restraint. At the same time, moments of empathy, recognition, and relational openness emerged as meaningful turning points. These findings show that polarization stems not only from ideological cleavages but also from lived emotional experiences. The study concludes that fostering emotional literacy and ethical reflection is essential in preparing young people to engage meaningfully with difference in increasingly plural and polarized societies.

Abstract

The maternal mortality rate (MMR) and child mortality rate in Indonesia are among the highest in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), ranking 7th out of 10 ASEAN countries. One of the contributing factors is complications during pregnancy and childbirth, in addition to economic, social, and psychological conditions. This situation leads to antenatal depression during pregnancy, highlighting the crucial role of midwives in providing holistic support. The current research investigates the role of midwives in pregnancy using therapeutic communication in tackling the phenomenon of maternal and child mortality. Results indicated that in the pre-interaction, orientation, working, and termination phases, the informants experienced different outcomes that further affected their self-efficacy about those stages.

Abstract

This research examines the subjective experiences of Genshin Impact players in Indonesia, focusing on interactions within Facebook groups. It explores how group dynamics and moderation influence toxic behavior. By interviewing moderators from two Facebook groups, the study compares toxic behavior and moderation strategies, revealing that active, effective moderation reduces toxicity, while less oversight leads to increased negativity. The findings highlighted the crucial role of community management in shaping player interactions and online group culture. Beyond presenting practical implications for moderators and community managers, the study also contributed conceptually to understanding the relationship between moderation practices and online social behavior. It suggested that future research should involve broader and more diverse player groups to validate and expand these insights.

Abstract

Community-based tourism development in Wanurejo Tourism Village demonstrates significant potential for enhancing well-being, preserving culture, and supporting local economic sustainability. This study aims to analyze communication barriers that cause disintegration in the Pentahelix collaboration for tourism development in Wanurejo Tourism Village, which serves as a buffer village for the Borobudur National Tourism Strategic Area (KSPN). The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through Forum Group Discussions. The results indicate that despite the implementation of the Pentahelix model, optimal synergy and collaboration have not been achieved due to (1) a lack of communication accommodation, (2) overlapping roles and responsibilities among institutions, (3) unhealthy competition among tourism stakeholders, and (4) a lack of sustained involvement from the central and regional governments. This disintegrative communication negatively impacts the effectiveness of collaboration and community participation. This research suggests integration strategies that include enhancing inclusive communication, technology-based training, developing digital platforms, and policy reforms that support sustainable collaboration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of Quarter Life Crisis (QLC) in emerging adults. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with several informants and analysis of relevant literature. The findings indicate that Quarter Life Crisis is a condition commonly experienced by individuals during the transition from late adolescence to early adulthood. Common symptoms include anxiety about the future, confusion in making major life decisions (such as choosing between continuing education or getting married), social pressure, and frustration due to social comparison with peers. The main contributing factors to QLC include intolerance to uncertainty, suboptimal personal growth, and low family functioning. Using a holistic-systemic model, the QLC experiences of each informant in this study are understood as a process of communication with the surrounding environment and self-transformation, through four phases: locked-in, separation, exploration, and rebuilding.

Abstract

To date, negative sentiments toward the Chinese ethnic group in Indonesia still exist. Using a content analysis research design, this study attempts to analyze the effective communication strategies of the Instagram account @chinese_server in rectifying various negative sentiments toward the Chinese ethnic group. The results show that the account effectively deconstructs negative sentiments towards the Chinese ethnicity, including pro-PRC, exclusivity, non-nationalism, and atheism, through historical and social narratives packaged in short videos. The account can reach cross-ethnic audiences, encourage multicultural understanding, and facilitate a shift in attitude from ethnocentrism to ethnorelativism. However, resistance is still evident in the form of negative comments. This study is expected to contribute to the discourse on the role of social media in shaping public perception and multicultural education.

Abstract

Student press as an alternative media often faces intervention and intimidation, both from within and outside the university environment. The absence of legal protection, due to their exclusion from Law No. 40 of 1999 of the Press, makes student journalists vulnerable to repression. This study is important to explore how journalist associations, namely the Press Council (Dewan Pers), the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI), and the Indonesian Student Press Association (PPMI) perceive and respond to this issue. Using a qualitative approach, this research employs in-depth interviews with key informants and document analysis of reported cases. The findings reveal that regulatory gaps, a campus culture resistant to criticism, and asymmetrical power relations contribute to the persistence of intimidation. Moreover, existing mechanisms such as the Cooperation Agreement (PKS) are seen as legally weak and ineffective in protecting student press activities. This study recommends the establishment of higher-level regulations, such as a ministerial decree, to provide legal standing for student press within the national media ecosystem.

Abstract

Despite extensive research on social media influence, a significant gap exists in understanding how audiences interpret and engage with Chinese propaganda on short-form video platforms, particularly regarding territorial disputes. This study examines the temporal evolution of strategic narratives in Chinese TikTok propaganda related to the South China Sea conflict, integrating Walton's propaganda framework with Strategic Narrative Theory. A quantitative survey approach employed 100 university students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta who evaluated five Chinese state-controlled TikTok videos using surveys based on Walton's ten propaganda characteristics, with temporal pattern analysis examining strategic narrative evolution across the video sequence. Statistical analysis revealed three distinct strategic narrative types: (1) core narratives maintaining consistency across videos (PC4, PC6, PC8), (2) adaptive narratives demonstrating systematic learning and optimization (PC10), and (3) experimental narratives testing alternative approaches (PC1, PC7). The findings demonstrate that Chinese propaganda operates through sophisticated portfolio management strategies combining narrative stability with dynamic optimization mechanisms, indicating a mature understanding of digital audience psychology and cross-cultural influence effectiveness. This research advances strategic communication theory by providing empirical evidence that contemporary digital propaganda functions as evolving strategic narrative systems rather than static content, requiring analytical frameworks capable of capturing dynamic communication processes in competitive information environments.
