Abstract

Social inequality in South Tangerang is one of the main challenges in sustainable development, especially for informal sector workers such as online motorcycle taxi drivers. This research aims to analyze the food access problems faced by online motorcycle taxi drivers in the region, identify the factors that influence them, and explore policy solutions that can improve their welfare. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection through short semi-structured interviews with 20 online motorcycle taxi drivers at the Pondok Ranji shelter, South Tangerang. The research results show that income instability, high costs of living, and limited access to nutritious food are the main obstacles for online motorcycle taxi drivers in meeting their basic needs. This study also highlights the important role of the government and ride-hailing companies in providing solutions such as food subsidies, price regulations for basic commodities, and more inclusive social assistance programs. These findings contribute to supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) no. 2 regarding eliminating hunger and improving the welfare of informal workers in urban areas.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the extent of the correlation between digital communication based on Hindu teachings in supporting the achievement of Indonesia's Golden Vision 2045 through the TikTok app. The approach used in this study is a quantitative method with a survey technique, involving a sample of 40 respondents whose data were collected via questionnaires. The data analysis results show a significant relationship between digital communication based on Hindu teachings (X) and the achievement of Indonesia's Golden Vision 2045 (Y), as evidenced by a significance value of 0.013, which is smaller than the table significance value of 0.05. Additionally, the correlation coefficient between variables X and Y is 0.388, which is greater than the table correlation value of 0.301. Based on these results, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, confirming the existence of a correlation between digital communication based on Hindu teachings and the achievement of Indonesia's Golden Vision 2045 through TikTok. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a recommendation for the Hindu community to become more active in utilizing the digital world as a medium for spreading religious teachings, in order to support Indonesia's Golden Vision 2045 and instill spiritual and character values in society.

Abstract

The organization of the 8th National Recreational Sports Festival (FORNAS) in 2025 will be a strategic momentum for West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province to solidify its position as a premier sports tourism destination. The main challenge in communicating this branding event is to change public perception of recreational sports so that they have the same prestige and tourist appeal as competitive sports. This research aims to analyze the branding communication strategies implemented in building the identity and positive image of FORNAS VIII 2025. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders (KORMI NTB and the Tourism Office), observation of visual elements and communication media, and document studies. The conceptual basis of this research refers to branding strategy theory, which includes formulating brand identity, brand positioning, and brand communication. The research results indicate that the branding communication strategy for FORNAS VIII 2025 is centered on the concept of Cultural and Fitness Synergy. This strategy is implemented thru three main tactics: (1) Identity Visualization: Using local textile elements and NTB's endemic fauna in the logo and mascot to create strong visual differentiation; (2) Symbolic Narrative: Building the message that recreational sports are part of a lifestyle and cultural preservation, not just competition; and (3) Digital Activation: Utilizing social media to build engagement thru content that highlights the exoticism of NTB's tourist destinations. In conclusion, the branding communication carried out not only serves as a promotion for the event but also as an effective city branding tool for NTB post-pandemics, although it still requires consistency in messaging across various media lines.

Abstract

Ogoh-ogoh represents a symbol of the neutralization of negative potentials inherent in space and time (Bhuta Kala). These spatial and temporal aspects are vulnerable to imbalance, whether occurring naturally or caused by human activities. On a mythological level, Bhuta Kala is manifested as terrifying beings, symbolizing the adverse consequences arising from the disruption of spatial and temporal harmony. There are two ways through which humans confront the negative potentials of space and time. First, by avoiding mistakes that lead to environmental damage or disharmony. When this effort proves ineffective, humans resort to the second approach, namely surrendering themselves to the omnipotence of God. Through total surrender, humans come to realize their true nature as spiritual beings rather than material entities. Within the Nyepi ritual sequence, which is closely associated with the presence of ogoh-ogoh, efforts to prevent negative forces and acts of self-surrender that awaken essential awareness continuously take place. The commitment of Balinese Hindus to preserving the sacredness of ogoh-ogoh stems from the profound value of the meanings embodied within it. Although ogoh-ogoh is a product of relatively recent creative expression, some groups oppose its profane interpretation. Differences in the interpretation of the ogoh-ogoh myth have become increasingly widespread along with the growth of social media. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a literature review and discourse analysis of social media content that presents differing interpretations of the ogoh-ogoh myth. The article aims to philosophically elaborate the variations in interpretations of the ogoh-ogoh myth circulating on social media by examining their ontological, epistemological, and axiological aspects. The findings reveal that ogoh-ogoh, as a form of cultural expression, is highly susceptible to commodification, resulting in a shift from the sacred to the profane dimension. Social media plays a dual role, both intensifying interpretative differences and serving as a medium for disseminating its authentic meaning. Achieving an appropriate understanding of ogoh-ogoh requires philosophical elements that foster vigilance against misinterpretation while reinforcing a holistic comprehension.

Abstract

English language learning at the elementary school level, particularly in fourth grade, continues to face challenges related to low learning motivation and limited vocabulary retention due to the use of conventional instructional media. This study aims to develop an Augmented Reality (AR)-based interactive book as an English vocabulary learning medium for fourth-grade students at SDN 18 Ampenan, Mataram City. The design process adopts the design thinking method, which consists of the stages of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test, with data collected through observation, interviews, and literature review. The results indicate that the integration of AR technology, sensory branding theory, flat design visual style, and a game-based learning approach enhances students' visual, auditory, and emotional engagement. The resulting medium takes the form of a printed interactive book equipped with AR markers and a supporting application that displays 2D objects and pronunciation audio, demonstrating strong potential to improve English vocabulary retention among fourth-grade students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the aesthetic characteristics, visual semiotic meanings, and the relationship between visual elements and sacred values embodied in the Jero Gede and Jero Selem masks (tapel) within the Barong Landung performance tradition in Bali. Barong Landung is a sacred performing art of Balinese Hindu society that represents the acculturation of Balinese and Chinese cultures through visual symbols, artistic forms, colors, and expressions that contain religious and philosophical values. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using formal aesthetic analysis and visual semiotics. Data were collected through visual observation of the Barong Landung masks, in-depth interviews with traditional mask carvers (undagi), and literature studies related to Balinese traditional visual arts. The findings reveal that the aesthetic characteristics of the Jero Gede and Jero Selem masks are constructed through visual elements such as facial structure, color composition, ornaments, and expressions that represent the concept of Rwa Bhineda as a symbol of cosmic balance in Balinese life. Jero Gede is visualized as a masculine, magical, and protective figure through the dominance of dark colors and a fierce expression, whereas Jero Selem embodies a feminine, graceful, and gentle character through the use of brighter colors and refined visual forms. From a visual semiotic perspective, both masks function as systems of signs that convey religious, spiritual, and cultural meanings within Balinese society. Beyond their artistic function, the Jero Gede and Jero Selem masks also serve as media for transmitting philosophical values, preserving collective memory, and strengthening Balinese cultural identity amid the challenges of modernization and cultural globalization. Therefore, this study confirms that visual aesthetics in Balinese sacred art are closely interconnected with religious systems, cosmology, and the cultural resilience of Balinese society.
