Abstract

Technological advances create new innovations for social media, such as X which provides community features that can be utilized by its users, one of which is the Komunitas Murah-Murah. This research aims to find out how social interactions and communication processes are carried out in the Komunitas Murah-Murah and the impact felt by its members. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach and conducts observation, interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. The data validity test was carried out using the source triangulation method. This research uses symbolic interaction theory which includes five basic concepts: self, action, object, interaction, and collective action to analyze the dynamics of communication in the community. The results of this study show that social interactions carried out using symbols in the form of images and clear language can determine the decision-making process. Community members feel positive impacts such as ease of interaction, time flexibility, and wider information dissemination. The researcher identified negative impacts that hindered the interaction process, namely user dissatisfaction and fraud cases. The communication process applied in the Komunitas Murah-Murah is interactional, where members provide feedback to each other to create interaction and transactions. This research can contribute to the literature related to social interaction on social media.

Abstract

This study shows that social media has a significant role in improving English skills, especially in terms of learning and communication. Social media provides a platform for informal and enjoyable English learning, and encourages interaction and collaboration between users. Social media plays an important role in English learning because it provides access to various learning resources, encourages social interaction, and improves speaking skills. By utilizing platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, students can access educational content, participate in discussions, and practice English interactively. According to student perceptions, YouTube is a very good social media for improving English skills. Almost most students in the fifth semester of STIKOM Tunas Bangsa  Pematangsiantar like to learn English using YouTube. This is because YouTube provides various types of English content that can help improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. In addition, many YouTube channels are specifically created for English learning, with materials presented in an easy and interesting way.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of policies and the role of stakeholders in addressing stunting reduction in Cicurug Village. The issuance of Majalengka Regent's Decision No. KS.02.00.00/KEP.294-DP3AKB/2022 regarding the Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team marks the initial step for stakeholders to collaborate in reducing stunting rates. The issue of stunting must be re-examined, as the stunting rate in Majalengka District increased from 1.26% to 2.17% in 2024. This study employs Van Meter and Van Horn's theory, which identifies six indicators of successful policy implementation: policy standards and objectives, resources, communication, characteristics of implementing agencies, socio-economic and political environment, and attitudes of implementers. The research methods used are qualitative and descriptive. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. The research findings on the implementation of stunting policies by stakeholders revealed several major issues in the implementation of the stunting reduction program, including insufficient coordination among local government agencies, a shortage of specialized personnel at the community health center level, and low public awareness of the importance of participating in posyandu activities. The research results are expected to provide an overview that the implementation of stunting policies by stakeholders in Majalengka District has not yet been fully optimized.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Basic Food Assistance Program by the Cirebon Regency Social Service in improving the welfare of the underprivileged community. The focus of the study is directed at five indicators of effectiveness based on Campbell J.P.'s theory (1970), namely program success, target success, satisfaction with the program, input-output levels, and achievement of overall goals. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach through research activities. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, document studies, and interviews. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Basic Food Assistance Program still faces several problems, such as inaccurate recipient targets, inaccurate poverty data, low understanding of beneviciary, limited implementing resources, and minimal long-term impact evaluation. To improve the effectiveness of the program, improvement strategies are needed including data updates, strengthening the capacity of implementers, digitizing the system and increasing social literacy.
