Abstract

Moving to a new environment with a different cultural background often leads to the phenomenon of culture shock, particularly among migrant students who leave their hometowns to pursue higher education. Students from outside Aceh who study at IAIN Langsa face adaptation challenges within a social and cultural environment strongly influenced by Islamic law and local traditions. The mismatch between their initial expectations and the realities they encounter often triggers psychological and social reactions such as confusion, stress, and social isolation. This study aims to explore the dynamics of culture shock and the process of identity negotiation experienced by migrant students during their adaptation to the academic and social environment at IAIN Langsa. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, the study focuses on understanding the participants’ subjective experiences, with data collected through in-depth interviews involving eight purposively selected migrant students. The findings reveal that common forms of culture shock include differences in language, food, dress codes, and social interaction patterns shaped by strong religious norms. Over time, students overcome these challenges through identity negotiation by adjusting their appearance, communication style, and social behavior while constructing hybrid identities through maintaining relationships within fellow migrant communities, building cross-cultural friendships, and reinforcing their Islamic values as a means of integration. The study highlights the importance of institutional support for migrant students in their process of cultural adaptation and emphasizes the need for intercultural engagement programs on campus to foster a more inclusive and harmonious academic environment.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the limited in-depth research on the symbolic meanings embedded in the architecture of the Towani Tolotang traditional house. Therefore, this research aims to reveal the meanings contained in the architectural elements and ornaments of the traditional house. The study employs Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory as the analytical framework, using a qualitative research method with an ethnographic approach. Informants were selected through purposive sampling and consisted of three individuals knowledgeable about Towani Tolotang traditions. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings show that the Towani Tolotang traditional house, particularly the homes of traditional leaders (Uwa’), contains strong symbolic meanings in each of its architectural features. The three-tiered stilt-house structure represents Bugis mythological concepts; the round or twelve-sided pillars symbolize the steadfastness of Tolotang ideology; the bamboo flooring ensures smooth air circulation; the odd number of steps is believed to bring good fortune to the homeowner; the tamping reflects respect toward the Uwa’ as traditional leaders; the white color signifies purity; the use of wood for doors and windows embodies respect for nature; and the carvings symbolize hopes for a prosperous life. These findings imply that the Towani Tolotang traditional house functions not only as a physical dwelling but also as a medium for preserving the spiritual, cultural, and philosophical values of the Tolotang community, highlighting the importance of safeguarding and introducing it as part of local cultural heritage preservation efforts.

Abstract

This study explores how policy advocacy campaigns delivered through TikTok shape the awareness and attitudes of Generation Z in Palangka Raya City. Although the platform has rapidly become a prominent channel for public information, academic research has not sufficiently examined how persuasive policy messages spread among young audiences within an environment driven by personalized digital algorithms. To address this gap, the study adopts the Diffusion of Innovation framework to understand how exposure to policy-oriented content influences the cognitive and attitudinal responses of TikTok users from Generation Z. Using a quantitative approach, the research engaged a group of respondents selected purposively from the local TikTok user population. Data were obtained through an online questionnaire that captured perceptions and behavioral tendencies, and the results were analyzed using a statistical model appropriate for measuring directional influence. The findings indicate that policy advocacy content on TikTok plays a meaningful role in enhancing both awareness and attitudes among young users in the city. These results demonstrate that the Diffusion of Innovation framework remains relevant for understanding message dissemination in contemporary digital media contexts. Moreover, the study shows that TikTok functions not only as an entertainment platform but also as an effective medium for government communication aimed at younger audiences. The research contributes to the field of digital policy communication by emphasizing the significance of platform-specific content dynamics and provides practical insights for policymakers seeking to improve engagement and understanding among Generation Z in an increasingly digital public sphere.
