Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Human Relations–based business communication in sustaining long-term cooperation with investors at PT Pan Pacific Nesia, a garment manufacturing company within a Korean business group. Operating in a dynamic, labor-intensive environment, the company faces challenges in maintaining accurate information flow and transparent reporting to its primary investor. The research aims to explain how Human Relations functions as a communication technique and relationship management strategy that supports trust-building, collaboration, and investor confidence. Human Relations theory, Relationship Management Theory, and Integrative Negotiation are used to interpret the interpersonal and relational dynamics within the communication process. A qualitative case study design within a constructivist paradigm was employed. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, with purposive sampling involving Human Relations personnel, Payroll and Accounting staff, Operations representatives, and investor delegates. The findings indicate that PT Pan Pacific Nesia implements integrated Human Relations communication practices, including routine coordination forums, transparent digital reporting, and open dialogue communication. These practices foster trust, commitment, and relationship satisfaction. The use of an integrative negotiation approach further supports mutually beneficial, long term agreements. The study concludes that strategic Human Relations communication supported by relational management and integrative negotiation principles plays a vital role in maintaining transparency, strengthening collaboration, and sustaining long term business partnerships in the garment industry.

Abstract

This article examines the buffer zone of Tesso Nilo National Park as an ecofeminist arena where interactions among women, ecology, and social resilience evolve amid deforestation, encroachment, and contested land use. Addressing research gaps that marginalize indigenous women’s conservation roles, the study explores how Batang Nilo women perform forest guardianship and sustain local ecological balance. Employing a qualitative participatory method in several buffer zone villages, twelve indigenous women involved in resource management participated through interviews, focus groups, observations, and participatory mapping. Guided by a local ecofeminist perspective, thematic analysis reveals that women’s forest patrols, cultivation of native and medicinal plants, non-timber forest product use, and community-based eco-tourism actions embody a politics of care. These practices reinforce socio-ecological resilience and advocate for gender-inclusive spatial governance that acknowledges women not merely as beneficiaries but as pivotal ecological agents in sustaining forest life.

Abstract

In this article, the author describes how the discourse of "Islamism" is articulated by groups known as radical-extremists when they use discourse as a political instrument for their own interests. In Indonesia, these radical-extremist groups emerged with the opening up of public space after the New Order in 1998. On the one hand, the opening up of public space was one of the goals of reform, but on the other hand, public space became a battleground where whoever controlled public space would be the winner. The discourse of "Islamism" as a political movement is one of the discourses contested in the public sphere to reinforce the idea that Islam is not only a religion but also a political movement for the people. The political discourse of "Islamism" is a sign that radical-extremist groups are attempting to compete in the public sphere within a specific context, space, and time. In other words, the discourse of Islamism used by these entities is actually intended to legitimize the political movements they promote. In this article, the author argues that discourse is positioned as a political instrument for radical entities seeking public support, at least in the majority Muslim population. Using a literature study method, this research uncovered several findings, including a). Islam as an ideology; b). Becoming Anshorullah or defenders of God; and c). Jihad against the enemies of religion.

Abstract

Military culture, emphasizing discipline, hierarchy, and obedience, often conflicts with healthcare practices centered on empathy and therapeutic communication, creating a professionalism paradox for military physiotherapists. This study explores how military physiotherapists interpret their profession and navigate therapeutic communication within hierarchical military structures. A Husserlian phenomenological approach was applied through in-depth interviews with eight Indonesian Army physiotherapists working in hospitals and military training centers in West Java. Findings reveal that physiotherapists continuously negotiate institutional demands, ethical responsibilities, and adaptive therapeutic communication in their professional experiences. Professionalism is understood not as a destructive conflict but as a reflective process for constructing ethical, communicative, and contextual professional identities. Therapeutic communication becomes central in building trust, ensuring patient safety, and balancing humanistic care with military structural demands. Strengthening institutional support, collaborative culture, therapeutic communication, and moral distress studies is essential for improving humanistic and professional military healthcare services.

Abstract

Communication plays an important role in shaping organizational climate because it influences interaction, trust, and collaboration among organizational members. However, studies on communication practices in community-based organizations, particularly farmer groups, remain limited compared to formal organizations. This study aims to analyze the role of communication in shaping the organizational climate of the Wanoja Coffee Farmers Group in Ibun Village, Bandung Regency. This research employed a qualitative descriptive-exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving the group leader and active members. The findings show that communication within the Wanoja Coffee Farmers Group is conducted through open, participatory, and supportive practices that strengthen trust, member involvement, collective decision-making, and organizational cohesion. The study also reveals that communicative leadership, regular evaluation forums, and family-oriented relationships contribute to the development of a healthy organizational climate. This study implies that effective communication practices can serve as a strategic foundation for strengthening sustainability and collaboration in community-based organizations.

Abstract

Law No. 6/2014 concerning villages mandates that each village form a Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) to realize village independence. The existence of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as economic assets in villages, with complete community management, has yet to be utilized to support the community's economy. The number of BUMDes in Indonesia continues to increase each year, but not all can achieve independence in practice. Malaka Regency is located in the border area, making it a strategic area where BUMDes can improve village economies, thereby impacting development in Malaka Regency. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of BUMDES in Malaka Regency. This research uses quantitative and qualitative approaches. The data collection method involved collecting secondary and primary data: primary data in the form of BUMDes condition data, and data obtained through interviews and questionnaires with the village government and BUMDes administrators. The secondary data was obtained from the Malaka Regency Community and Village Empowerment Service and the Central Statistics Agency. The results of the analysis show that the development of BUMDES characteristics in Malaka Regency tends to be homogeneous, as indicated by several indicators, namely contribution to superior products, length of business, number of employees, number and type of businesses, capital, turnover, profit, and PADes donations. Of the 86 Bumdes in Malaka Regency, most were established in 2018; the majority have gone bankrupt or are not running, so they are currently being revitalized.

Abstract

Street vendors are an essential element of the urban informal economy, significantly enhancing local livelihoods while frequently generating spatial and regulatory issues in public areas. This study analyses the geographical patterns, activity features, and stakeholder perspectives of street vendors along the Moh Toha Corridor in Tangerang City, Indonesia. The corridor functions as a principal commercial and transportation route linking the city centre to adjacent industrial and residential zones. A descriptive quantitative methodology was employed, integrating field observations, questionnaire surveys, and interviews with 40 participants, comprising vendors, pedestrians, and landowners. Spatial mapping was performed to discern vendor concentration patterns, while perception analysis assessed public views towards street vending activities. The results indicate that the distribution of street vendors adheres to a linear-agglomeration pattern, predominantly situated in high-traffic zones such as intersections, shopfronts, and industrial sites. Most vendors work from morning till evening, offering food, beverages, fruits, and everyday goods from portable kiosks and tents that often obstruct pedestrian pathways. The presence of street vendors bolsters local economic vitality and offers affordable commodities for workers and residents; nevertheless, it also leads to conflicts in space utilisation, resulting in diminished pedestrian comfort, visual disarray, and traffic congestion. Stakeholder perceptions reveal that 82.5% of respondents advocate for spatial reorganisation while preserving vendors' livelihoods. The study suggests that inclusive spatial management via zoning, allocation of designated vending areas, and inter-agency coordination is crucial for reconciling urban order with economic informality in Tangerang's public spaces.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between online interactions, social support, and psychological well-being among university students in Indonesia, with a specific focus on a public university, Universitas Padjadjaran. As online communication becomes an integral part of students’ daily lives, understanding its role in shaping social support and well-being is increasingly important. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 121 undergraduate students through an online questionnaire employing a convenience sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that online interactions have a significant positive effect on perceived social support. However, the direct effect of online interactions on psychological well-being and the mediating effect of social support on well-being were not statistically significant. These results suggest that while online interactions contribute to students’ perceptions of social support, their influence on psychological well-being may depend on additional contextual or individual factors. This study contributes to the growing literature on digital communication and well-being among university students in Indonesia.

Abstract

The study examined the role of religion in the primordial development of Mombasa as an early urban center on the East African coast. While existing historiography largely attributes Mombasa’s emergence to participation in Indian Ocean trade, this study argues that Islam played a central role in shaping the city’s urbanization. Guided by Urbanization Theory and Cultural Diffusion Theory, the study employed a historical research methodology utilizing archival records, oral traditions, historical documents, and scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the spread of Islam from the first millennium CE significantly influenced settlement patterns, governance systems, and social cohesion in Mombasa. Through migration, and scholarly exchanges, Islamic beliefs and institutions were transmitted and adapted within local communities, fostering interaction between indigenous populations and migrants from Arabia and Persia. Rather than replacing indigenous traditions, Islam blended with local practices to create a distinctive Swahili-Islamic culture that enhanced communal identity and political legitimacy. Islamic institutions, including mosques, religious schools, and judicial systems, contributed to the consolidation of urban life. The study concluded that religion was not merely a cultural by-product of trade but a fundamental driver of Mombasa’s early urban formation, helping shape its identity, governance, and long-term development as a prominent Swahili city-state.
