Abstract

Seasonal uncertainty destabilizes small-scale fishing livelihoods not only by reducing catch opportunities but also by redistributing labor and economic responsibilities within households. This study examines how small-scale fishing households in Pallette, Bone Regency, Indonesia, translate seasonal disruption into intra-household adaptation. Employing a qualitative case study design, the primary unit of analysis was the fishing household. Empirical data were collected through 20 semi-structured interviews with fishers, fishers' wives, and local patrons (punggawa), alongside non-participant field observations. Data analysis utilized iterative thematic coding to connect empirical patterns with a gender-sensitive livelihood perspective and the Theory of Access. The findings reveal three major dimensions of adaptation: (1) adjustments in men's fishing mobility and spatial relocation; (2) the expansion of women's shore-based economic roles without a commensurate reduction in their domestic responsibilities; and (3) differentiated mobilization of financial resources through kinship, patron networks, and formal credit. Rather than merely viewing adaptation as income diversification, the study demonstrates that livelihood adaptation is an intra-household process linking gendered labor allocation with differentiated mechanisms of resource access. This perspective emphasizes that adaptation redistributes work and financial risk internally, informing more equitable and context-sensitive livelihood support for coastal communities.

Abstract

Frontline health communication is central to stunting prevention, yet linguistically accessible messages do not inherently guarantee substantive understanding. This study examines communication barriers in education concerning the first 1,000 days of life and conceptualizes Sipakatau—a culturally grounded Bugis relational principle—as a mechanism for equitable frontline communication in Ajangale District, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations with 15 purposively selected informants, including street-level health personnel, mothers, pregnant women, and community figures. The findings reveal that while frontline workers successfully adapted biomedical terminology using local linguistic expressions, verified comprehension remained contingent upon interactive clarification. Furthermore, Sipakatau functioned significantly beyond generic politeness; it operated as a form of relational discretion that minimized institutional asymmetry and enabled marginalized service users to safely articulate uncertainties. This study contributes to the literature of street-level bureaucracy and public health administration by distinguishing accessible message delivery from verified understanding, ultimately positioning culturally grounded relational engagement as a core determinant of frontline service quality.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between interpersonal communication and alumni employment opportunities in the digital era through the perspective of Social Network Theory. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 127 alumni of Boyolali University who graduated in 2025, selected through purposive sampling from a population of 173 alumni. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression in SPSS. The results indicate a positive and statistically significant relationship between interpersonal communication and alumni employment opportunities, with a regression coefficient of 0.145 (t = 16.933; p < 0.001). The correlation coefficient of 0.846 indicates a very strong relationship, while the coefficient of determination of 0.716 shows that the model explains 71.6% of the variation in employment opportunity scores. From the perspective of Social Network Theory, these findings suggest that interpersonal communication is relevant to understanding alumni access to information and professional opportunities through social relationships. However, the social network mechanism was not directly tested in this study. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted within the limitations of the measurements and sample characteristics. This study highlights the importance of developing interpersonal communication as one of the factors supporting alumni transitions into the labor market in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines how truth is constructed in citizen journalism and professional media through a comparative analysis of two events in West Java, Indonesia: a food poisoning incident associated with the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program and a leopard found in a Bandung hotel. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the study analyzes 12 news items, comprising six Instagram posts from citizen-journalism accounts and six online news articles from professional media outlets. Data were collected through content observation, in-depth interviews with professional journalists, citizen journalists, and news readers, and an examination of audience comments. The analysis focused on news structure, language style, source balance, completeness, factual verification, ethical standards, and audience reactions. The findings indicate that professional media reports generally provide more complete news structures, attributed claims, and a broader range of sources, whereas citizen-journalism posts circulate rapidly and rely more heavily on eyewitness accounts and emotionally oriented narratives. Comments on one citizen-journalism account predominantly expressed empathy, concern, and moral appeals, although some reflected misunderstandings. These findings suggest that truth construction is shaped by different production routines, verification practices, and modes of presentation. However, the findings are limited to the selected cases and do not establish general differences across all media organizations or audience groups.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impacts of tin mining activities on fishermen and the implementation of tin mining and coastal area management policies in protecting fishermen's interests in Lingkungan Nelayan 2, Sungailiat District, Bangka Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis used Dunn's policy impact perspective and Edwards III's policy implementation theory, covering communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that tin mining activities have multidimensional impacts on fishermen's livelihoods. Environmentally, the impacts include sedimentation, estuary shallowing, changes in water quality, disruption of marine ecosystems, and changes in fishing grounds. These environmental changes subsequently affect the economic conditions of fishermen through increased operational costs, longer fishing distances, reduced production efficiency, and greater livelihood vulnerability. Socially, the mining activities have generated differences in community perceptions, competition over coastal space, changes in social interaction, and conflicts of interest between mining and fishing activities. Policy implementation has been supported by regulations and institutional arrangements but remains suboptimal because communication tends to be administrative, monitoring resources are limited, implementation commitment faces competing economic interests, and authority is fragmented. The study concludes that the relationship between tin mining and fishermen constitutes a socio-ecological governance issue that cannot be addressed solely through mining control but requires stronger coordination, monitoring, participatory communication, and meaningful involvement of fishermen in coastal governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors underlying the conflict over the construction of the Indonesian Baptist Church (GBI) Tlogosari in Semarang and the resolution process through the lens of Ralf Dahrendorf’s conflict theory. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the conflict was shaped by competing interests, differing perceptions of the legitimacy of establishing a house of worship, and relations of authority among the parties involved. Conflict resolution was pursued through mediation and the involvement of various stakeholders to reconcile interests and create opportunities for communication between the conflicting parties. From Dahrendorf’s perspective, the conflict illustrates the relationship between competing interests and the distribution of authority within society. This study highlights that resolving conflicts over the establishment of houses of worship requires more than administrative and institutional mechanisms; it also depends on intergroup communication and the sustained management of differences in interests. These findings contribute to an understanding of the importance of mediation and stakeholder involvement in addressing conflicts over houses of worship in diverse societies.
