Abstract

Background: Humans continue to revolutionize how they search for and process information in line with technological advancements, social changes, and evolving needs. However, amidst the openness of information, the friendship factor is often overlooked due to broad access to various sources without considering their credibility. This study aims to understand how the friendship factor, particularly informational social influence, interpersonal trust, and perceptions of a friend's knowledge, influences consumer behavior in the context of social shopping and social media participation. It also examines the role of confirmation and perceived usefulness in shaping consumer satisfaction and their impact on the intention to continue social shopping and social media participation, using an Expected Confirmation Model (ECM) adapted to consumer behavior. Method: This study employs a quantitative design with a single cross-sectional method and purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured online questionnaire, yielding 274 respondents. The data were then analyzed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) technique. Findings: The findings reveal that informational influence, interpersonal trust, and perceived friend knowledge significantly affect confirmation (0.145–0.337), which in turn influences perceived usefulness (0.523–0.598), user satisfaction (0.347–0.473), and continuance intention of social shopping (0.204–0.513) and social media participation (0.113–0.532). The results of the study indicate that all hypotheses were accepted. Friendship factors, particularly interpersonal trust, play a crucial role in shaping perceived usefulness and experience confirmation, which in turn influence satisfaction and the intention to continue social shopping and social media participation. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of providing positive experiences (positive confirmation) to encourage sustainable intentions in the context of social shopping and social media participation. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study introduces an adapted Expected Confirmation Model (ECM) to examine how friendship factors influence consumer satisfaction and continued intention in social shopping and social media participation.

Abstract

Background: This study investigated occupational exposures experienced among sanitation workers in the Accra Metropolitan Area (AMA), Ghana. Despite performing essential functions that sustain urban hygiene and public health, sanitation workers often neglect their occupational health risks. This study explored the types and frequency of hazards faced by sanitation workers at AMA. Methods: Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, data were collected from 277 sanitation workers through a structured questionnaire. The analysis of the data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The study revealed that a majority of the sanitation workers were routinely exposed to hazards, including cuts, heat stress, dust inhalation, and contact with human waste. The study revealed that over 70% of the respondents had experienced work-related illnesses or injuries. Inferential analysis showed statistically significant relationships between consistent PPE usage and lower injury rates (p < 0.001), frequency of exposure and illness (p = 0.027), and experience level and health outcomes (p = 0.048). The study also exposed inequities in PPE access, especially among contract and casual workers. Conclusion: The study, therefore, recommends the establishment of inclusive safety policies aligned with national occupational health frameworks and the Sustainable Development Goals for sanitation workers in Ghana. Novelty/Originality of this article: The findings underscore the urgent need for systemic reforms in sanitation work policy in Ghana and other developing countries.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to analyze public perception and conduct an environmental service valuation of the Puta Spring in Lakapodo Village, Watopute District, Muna Regency. Methods: The study was conducted from April to June 2024 with a population of 318 households that use the Puta Spring as their main water source. The research sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a confidence level of 10%, resulting in 76 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with the criterion of people who had used the spring for at least the last five years. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies, then analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Findings: The results showed that the community's perception of the existence of Puta Spring was in the good category with an average score of 242.47. This indicates a high level of awareness of the importance of preserving this water source in supporting daily needs. The valuation of environmental services calculated based on the prevailing price method shows an economic value of IDR 211,104,000.00 per year, while based on the market price in Muna Regency, it reaches IDR 164,661,120.00 per year. The total volume of water used for domestic needs by the entire community of Lakapodo Village is 42,220.8 m³ per year, with an average discharge of Puta Spring of 0.0082 m³/second. Conclusion: Public perception of the spring is generally good, with high scores in existence, management, utilization, and economic value. Water availability exceeds community use, resulting in a surplus of 212,283 m³/year, corresponding to an economic value of IDR 1,061,415,000, indicating sustainable resource potential. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in integrating community perception assessment with economic valuation and water balance analysis to reveal the surplus value and sustainability potential of the Puta spring.

Abstract

Background: The coastal region of Bangladesh faces severe vulnerability to climate change and climate-induced natural disasters annually. Inhabitants in these areas have developed a wealth of indigenous knowledge over generations, comprising techniques to mitigate the impact of these disasters. This study, conducted in Dashmina Upazila within the Patuakhali District of the southern coastal region of Bangladesh, aimed to identify, evaluate, and scale up existing indigenous knowledge practices for early warning in Climate Smart Disaster Risk Reduction. Methods: Information was gathered through various methods such as direct observations, key informant interviews, group discussions, case studies, and a comprehensive literature review. There are 14 Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and communal meetings; 16 Key Informant Interviews (KII) and 5 case histories were conducted. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010 for descriptive qualitative analysis, and a SWOT analysis was employed to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of these practices. Findings: The study revealed several indigenous indicators for early warning, including the observation that ants climbing into houses with stored food signify imminent heavy rainfall, excessive frog barking indicating forthcoming heavy rain, the belief that crows soar high into the sky to summon rain, a combination of heavy clouds with strong wind suggesting little or no rainfall, muddy river waters signaling potential large floods or storm surges, peculiar crowing sounds at night predicting cyclones, and the occurrence of hot winds from specific directions along with black clouds hinting at imminent norwesters. Conclusion: The study strongly recommends integrating this indigenous knowledge into decision-making processes for developing disaster risk reduction strategies and incorporating them into future development projects within the region. The study faces recall bias, the study has a single-district scope, and it lacks quantitative validation. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research is novel because it systematically documents the indigenous early-warning knowledge of coastal communities in Dashmina Upazila, Bangladesh knowledge that has rarely recorded or scientifically analyzed and invisible to outsiders. It uniquely integrates these traditional cues with modern disaster-risk-reduction perspectives, offering new insights for community-based early warning systems.

Abstract

Background: The rapid evolution of digital technology has significantly shaped the social environment and altered the ways youth interact, communicate, and adapt within society. This study aims to analyze how social environments both offline and online affect youth social adaptation in the digital era, emphasizing sociocultural and psychological dimensions. Prior research indicates that digitalization encourages broader connectivity but can simultaneously reduce empathy and direct interpersonal communication. Methods: This study employs a literature review method, systematically synthesizing peer-reviewed journal articles and theoretical studies from the past decade. The analysis applies social ecology and adaptation theory to explore the interrelationship between environmental influences and adaptive behaviors among youth. Findings: Findings reveal that supportive social environments enhance digital literacy, emotional resilience, and social inclusion among young people, while toxic online cultures and social pressures contribute to isolation and maladaptive behaviors. The theoretical synthesis shows a reciprocal influence between environmental context and adaptive capacity highlighting that digital participation must be balanced with real world social skills to achieve well rounded adaptation. Conclusion: A balanced and inclusive social environment remains crucial for promoting adaptive social development among youth in a digitally interconnected society. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this article lies in its integrative theoretical approach, combining social ecology and adaptation perspectives to reinterpret youth social adaptability within the context of digital transformation.

Abstract

Background: The development of Dhoho International Airport in Kediri Regency represents a strategic government effort to stimulate regional economic growth. Initiated by the private sector through PT SDHI, a subsidiary of PT Gudang Garam, the project has faced challenges from local communities regarding housing and livelihoods. Beyond social shifts, the airport’s operation is expected to trigger broader transformations in education, culture, and economics, necessitating rapid community adaptation. This study aims to analyze the post-development impact on local residents. Methods: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in Penta Helix theory, utilizing purposive and snowball sampling for data collection. Findings: The study identifies distinct roles for Penta Helix actors—government as regulators, academics as knowledge providers, private sectors as job creators, media as educators, and civil society as mediators. Strategic planning revealed that community empowerment must integrate local traditions with modern vocational training to optimize economic opportunities. Conclusion: Effective empowerment requires synchronized collaboration where the government acts as the primary controller and policymaker to ensure sustainable welfare. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides a localized strategic framework for community empowerment in airport-affected areas, specifically using the Penta Helix model integrated with SWOT-based survey validation.

Abstract

Background: Livestock waste holds significant potential as a renewable energy resource; however, waste management practices among smallholder farmers remain suboptimal. The adoption of waste-to-energy technology is limited, and the behavioral and socioeconomic determinants of this adoption gap are not yet fully understood. This study aims to identify livestock waste management practices, analyze differences in perceptions (energy-adopting and non-adopting farmers), and examine socioeconomic factors associated with biogas adoption. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted in Sidoarjo Regency and Surabaya City, East Java Province, Indonesia. A total of 184 smallholder livestock farmers were selected through proportional random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics, including Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests to examine group differences in Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs. Findings: Non-energy practices dominate waste management, and the adoption of waste-to-energy technology remains limited. However, attitude scores, intentions, and behavioral control indicate a strong adoption potential. Mann-Whitney U test confirmed statistically significant differences for all four constructs: ATT (U = 180.5, p = .006), SN (U = 251.0, p = .026), PBC (U = 138.5, p = .002), and INT (U = 242.5, p = .022). Energy adopters consistently scored higher on all constructs, with the largest difference observed in PBC (Δ = +1.04). Fermentation plays a transitional behavioral role toward energy use and is comparable in behavioral readiness to biogas adopters. Conclusion: A tiered policy approach based on the adoption ladder is recommended to accelerate renewable energy uptake. Novelty/Originality of this article: Although various step-based adoption models have been suggested in the literature, the present study operationalizes the Adoption Ladder based on the constructs of TPB. Fermentation farmers can be considered at a behavioral stage of transition toward adopting biogas, based on empirically comparable attitudinal and intentional profiles relative to biogas adopters. The findings show that attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control affect adoption intentions, and fermentation farmers are positioned within a pre-adoption behavioral stage that indicates readiness for transition to biogas adoption.

Abstract

Background: Grassroots agricultural institutions, such as Indonesia's Community Livestock Centers/Sentra Peternakan Rakyat (SPR), frequently experience systemic stagnation once state subsidies are withdrawn. Traditional extension models, which predominantly rely on top-down economic incentives, frequently fail to sustain long-term collective action. This study investigates the interplay of rational, emotional, and behavioral (REB) factors driving farmer participation while mapping actor-network constellations to identify specific governance bottlenecks during institutional decay. Methods: A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed. First, quantitative survey data from 120 smallholder beef cattle farmers in Subang Regency were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Second, qualitative data from 15 key informants were evaluated through Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to analyze the sociology of translation. Findings: The structural model demonstrated exceptional explanatory power (R² = 0.915). Rational and Behavioral factors were significant, but emotional factor (trust and solidarity) emerged as the primary driver (β = 0.747, f² = 2.991). ANT analysis revealed that failure typically occurs during the “enrollment” phase, when top-down metrics clash with local psychosocial realities, leaving non-human artifacts (communal pens and biogas digesters) abandoned. Conclusion: Emotional factors have the strongest influence on SPR participation compared with the other factors, which highlights the importance of fostering social motivation within the community. Consequently, we recommend integrating 'Social Fabric Indicators' into regional agricultural extension policies to foster more resilient, community-based farming institutions. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study empirically challenges the classical homo economicus assumption by innovatively integrating the REB framework with ANT. The study robustly demonstrates the predominance of emotional capital over economic rationality for institutional sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Climate change is increasingly threatening the sustainability of rural communities whose livelihoods depend on natural resources. Although previous studies have emphasized the importance of community participation, local ecological knowledge, and collective governance in climate adaptation, limited empirical evidence explains how multiple community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) practices interact to strengthen village resilience within a social–ecological system. This study examines the role of CBNRM in enhancing climate resilience in villages of Rajabasa District, South Lampung Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A qualitative case study involving 24 purposively selected informants from two villages was conducted, complemented by observations and document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis focusing on four dimensions: community-based water management, adaptive agricultural practices, land conservation, and human–environment relationships. Data saturation was reached across informant groups. Findings: Community-based water governance, adaptive farming based on local ecological knowledge, collective land conservation, and strong social institutions are interconnected adaptive mechanisms that enhance village resilience. Water distribution is coordinated through farmer groups, agricultural adaptation is guided by local ecological knowledge and crop diversification, and soil productivity and water recharge areas are protected by conservation practices norms, cooperation, and local institutions strengthen adaptive capacity under increasing climate uncertainty. Conclusion: By integrating ecological knowledge, collective action, and sustainable environmental governance into mutually reinforcing adaptation strategies, community-based natural resource management enhances village resilience. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study extends the CBNRM, Social-Ecological Systems, and Adaptive Governance literature by demonstrating that village resilience emerges through the interaction of local institutions, ecological knowledge, and collective governance.

Abstract

Background: Older women are often perceived as no longer being socially or economically active. However, in Palopo City, elderly women affiliated with the Nurul Yaqin Mosque have transformed neglected mosque land into a productive garden. This phenomenon demonstrates their agency and highlights how a faith-based social environment can support capability expansion in later life. Drawing on Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach, this study examines how elderly women exercise agency and construct meaningful roles through collective gardening practices. Methods: This qualitative study employed an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through informal interviews with five elderly women actively involved in gardening, participant observation, and supporting documentary sources during an eight-week period between March and May 2025 at the Nurul Yaqin Mosque, Palopo City. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation. Findings: The findings reveal that elderly women participate in gardening for three main reasons: to support household food self-reliance, to utilize their leisure time meaningfully, and to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Gardening also functions as a space for knowledge sharing, social interaction, and the strengthening of social solidarity among participants. Through access to fresh vegetables and stronger social networks, the women experience enhanced well-being, social participation, and expanded capabilities. Nevertheless, they continue to face physical, emotional, environmental, and institutional constraints. The mosque courtyard serves as an enabling social environment that allows elderly women to transform available resources into meaningful functionings, including food production, social participation, and collective contribution to community well-being. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that elderly women are not passive social actors but active agents who expand their capabilities through productive, collective, and faith-based practices. The findings highlight the important role of mosque-based community spaces in supporting active ageing, social participation, and the empowerment of elderly women. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes to the literature by integrating ageing, gender, religion, and Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach, showing how mosque-based environments can facilitate capability expansion, social recognition, and collective empowerment among elderly women in a localized Indonesian context.
