Abstract

In the ever-changing internet era, mobile media consumption has shifted significantly from text content to video content. Short video applications serve as a solution to fill fragmented free time, offering fast and easily accessible entertainment. These videos often have diverse content and can interact with each other across platforms, allowing users to engage more deeply and enjoy a more dynamic viewing experience. Since the advent of the Internet, uses and gratifications theory has also been applied to various types of digital platforms, for example, to help understand the role of E-WoM moderation and traditional media advertising in choosing fast food outlets. This study aims to analyze user motivations and satisfactions in using TikTok as a digital platform with uses and gratifications theory (UGT). This study uses the Systematic Literature Review method to obtain research data. The results of this study indicate that uses and gratifications theory (UGT) has a relationship with awareness and use of TikTok social media. There are several drives and motivations that each user has related to the use of TikTok social media, especially the FYP feature, namely entertainment, media for self-expression, escape from reality, and user loyalty to access certain content.

Abstract

Fire is a disaster that often occurs in Indonesia, one of the areas that has a fairly high fire rate is Bengkulu City. Therefore, this research is very relevant to find the right solution in improving coordination and quick response in handling fire disasters through community participatory communication in the Volunteer Fire Fighter program. This research aims to analyze how participatory communication is carried out by Firefighter Volunteers in dealing with fires in Bengkulu City. The focus of this research uses the concept of participatory communication which consists of four indicators, namely heteroglasia, dialogic, polyphony and carnival. Using a qualitative approach, this research involved in-depth interviews with several members of the Volunteer Fire Department and the Head of the Prevention Division of the Bengkulu City Fire and Rescue Service. The results of the research show that the participatory communication of the Bengkulu City Fire Brigade Volunteers has gone well, marked by the fulfillment of four important indicators of participatory communication, namely heteroglasia, dialogue, polyphony and carnival. The presence of Bengkulu City Volunteer Fire Fighters with good participatory communication has also increased the speed of response in handling fires. Apart from that, solid cooperation between members of the Volunteer Fire Department and the Government and the Bengkulu City Fire and Rescue Service also increases the effectiveness of fighting fires. This research concludes that participatory communication from Volunteer Firefighters has great potential in increasing the effectiveness of fire management in Bengkulu City, but needs to be supported by a better government role.

Abstract

This study examines the application of the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) in understanding TikTok users' information needs in the digital era. Utilizing a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, it explores the motivations, experiences, and perceptions of active TikTok users, predominantly digital natives. The findings reveal that TikTok effectively satisfies user information needs via intelligent algorithms delivering hyper-personalized content. Entertainment, education, and social interaction emerge as primary motivations for TikTok usage. Moreover, the platform offers practical value, such as skill tutorials, lifestyle inspiration, and product reviews tailored to individual needs. However, challenges such as questionable information validity and irrelevant content persist.  This research reinforces UGT by uncovering the complex dimensions of digital media use, encompassing psychological, cognitive, and social interactions. TikTok functions beyond a mere information channel, evolving into a dynamic digital space where knowledge, identity, and technology interact continuously. The study also highlights the role of TikTok as both an educational and entertainment platform, capable of providing solutions to everyday problems while fostering social connections. The implications extend to enhancing UGT by showcasing how modern media address multifaceted user needs. Recommendations include improving content validation mechanisms to increase credibility. This research offers valuable insights into how social media platforms like TikTok can adapt to evolving user demands, ensuring relevance and utility in the digital landscape.

Abstract

This study uses a mixed-methods approach to examine the perspectives of snake owners in Indonesia regarding snakes, venomous species, and snakebite management. A survey was distributed to 1,109 respondents, with 109 participants) forming the core group for analysis. The research aims to assess snake owners’ knowledge about venomous snakes, handling snakebites, and myths surrounding these reptiles. Findings indicate that while the public generally fears snakes, many reptile enthusiasts in Indonesia keep snakes as pets for reasons such as hobby, conservation, and education. However, a significant gap in knowledge exists regarding the identification of venomous versus non-venomous snakes, with some respondents unable to distinguish between them accurately. Additionally, while most respondents recognized the importance of immobilization following a snake bite, some still believed in outdated and dangerous practices, such as suctioning or cutting the wound. The study also uncovered that while most participants view snakes as ordinary creatures, a small portion still holds superstitions, such as believing snakes are evil spirits. This perpetuates fear and misunderstanding of snakes. In conclusion, the research highlights the need for better education on snake identification, proper bite management, and debunking myths to improve the safety of snake keeping in Indonesia. Increased public awareness and accurate information can help mitigate the risks of keeping snakes as pets and foster a more informed and responsible approach to reptile care.

Abstract

The use of digital surveys is becoming increasingly important in collecting customer satisfaction data, especially in the competitive garment accessories industry. However, the limited representation of respondents in digital surveys remains a challenge. This study aims to explore the factors that influence customer satisfaction, focusing on product quality, service speed, and feedback systems. A qualitative approach with a case study method is applied to understand customer experiences in depth. Data were collected through an online survey focusing on key aspects of customer satisfaction and analyzed descriptively. The findings show that product quality is a key factor in customer satisfaction, while service speed and a responsive feedback system become more important for new customers. Although digital surveys are effective in capturing customer perceptions, bias can occur due to the limited representation of customers less familiar with digital technology. These results align with findings in other industries, which show the importance of service quality and responsive interactions in building customer satisfaction. However, a multi-channel approach is recommended to improve respondent representation in digital surveys. This research provides insights into the factors that affect customer satisfaction in a digital context and recommends a multi-channel survey strategy to improve the validity and representativeness of the results.
