Until now, the internet has become a necessity for society, because the internet supports all community activities in terms of communication and information, and makes it easier for everyone, whether working, studying or carrying out other activities. In this case, ever-increasing progress means that everyone can take advantage of a situation that can be called digital technology. This allows advertising targeting to the general public which is very focused on communicating with each other, tracking potential buyers and engaging them in related content. Advances in communication and network technology, especially the internet, provide the infrastructure needed for businesses that are run using the internet. The very rapid development of computer and telecommunications technology (information technology) today has resulted in a revolution in the world of trade and industry. In this research, the author used a qualitative research method with a bibliometric approach.

Abstract

Creative spaces have become important places that encourage innovation, collaboration, and imagination in various fields. This study investigates the complex dynamics of creative spaces by studying physical, social, and psychological aspects. We do this from the perspective of different disciplines and designs and see how special characteristics and creative processes interact with each other. We investigate the influence of spatial confirmation, atmosphere, and accessibility on individual creativity and productivity in this setting using mixed methods, including qualitative case studies and quantitative analysis. Our results show that design components such as layout flexibility, natural lighting, and aesthetic appeal influence how people think and interact with others. All this forms a broad creative experience. In addition, this research investigates how organizational culture, leaders and community dynamics play a role in building and maintaining creative ecosystems in these places. By explaining the complex relationship between the physical environment and human behaviour our research offers insights for practitioners, policy makers, and educators who want to create better creative spaces for collaboration and innovation. Using the Visualization of Similarities (Vos Viewers) tool, this research uses qualitative and bibliometric techniques. Using Vos Viewers you can search 992 articles by entering keywords such as; creative space; digital space; customer experience; and metaverse reduction. The results of the analysis show scientific mapping and potential for future research regarding creative spaces as a new marketing world. These results can be used as recommendation variables for researchers conducting further research.

Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing employee knowledge hiding in construction industry organizations. Utilizing quantitative methods, the research examines the impact of demographic factors, including gender, age, educational level, marital status, and duration of service, as well as psychological contract breaches on employee knowledge hiding. An independent samples t-test and multiple comparisons using the least significant difference (LSD) test were conducted to analyze the demographic factors. At the same time, a simple linear regression analysis was employed to assess the relationship between psychological contract breach and knowledge hiding. The results indicate that demographic factors significantly affect employee knowledge hiding, with females, older employees, those with lower educational levels, divorced or widowed individuals, and employees with longer service durations tending to hide knowledge more frequently. Furthermore, psychological contract breach is found to have a strong and positive relationship with employee knowledge hiding, suggesting that employees are more likely to engage in knowledge-hiding behaviors when they perceive a violation of their psychological contract. The findings have important managerial implications, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies to address knowledge hiding among different employee groups and maintaining a strong psychological contract with employees to foster a culture of knowledge sharing and innovation

Key strategies recommended include activating beach cleanliness programs, implementing sustainable conservation practices, and building disaster-resilient infrastructure. Additionally, ongoing training and education for local communities are crucial to ensure their active participation and capacity to manage tourism effectively. This research contributes to a comprehensive framework for developing sustainable ecotourism at Mina-Minanga Beach, aiming to balance environmental conservation with economic growth and community empowerment. The insights gained can inform policy-making and strategic planning, positioning North Buton Regency as a leading ecotourism destination in Indonesia while preserving its rich natural_and_cultural_heritage

Abstract

This research examines the impact of Social Media Marketing on preserving local wisdom on Lombok Island. By employing quantitative methods and multiple linear regression, the study evaluated five independent variables: social media marketing content (X1), user interaction on social media (X2), paid advertising on social media (X3), entertainment and trends on social media (X4), and Electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM) (X5), on the preservation of local traditions and culture (Y). Data from 108 randomly selected participants revealed that user interaction on social media (X2) exerted the most significant influence on the preservation of local traditions and culture, with a coefficient of 0.532 and a t-value of 5.108, significant at p < 0.001. The other variables—content marketing, paid advertising, entertainment, and e-WOM—did not exhibit significant effects. These results indicate that marketing strategies emphasizing active user engagement on social media are more effective in promoting the preservation of local wisdom. Consequently, it is advised that programs aimed at preserving local traditions and culture should prioritize enhancing user interaction on social media, complemented by a holistic approach integrating diverse marketing and community engagement techniques.
