Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed the practice of political democracy by creating a more open space for participation through social media. This study aims to analyze the role of digital literacy as an internal factor and social media exposure as an external factor in shaping political democracy in the digital age. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 15 relevant scientific articles. The results of the study indicate that digital literacy plays a crucial role in enhancing individuals’ ability to critically understand and filter political information, while social media exerts a dual influence: serving as a means to boost political participation while simultaneously acting as a source of disinformation. The interaction between the two is a key factor in determining the quality of political democracy. Therefore, improving digital literacy and the wise use of social media are essential steps in fostering a higher-quality democracy in the digital age.

Abstract

This research employs a case study at the Regional Development Planning, Research and Development Agency (Bappeda Litbang) of Indramayu Regency to investigate the challenges associated with the implementation of the Integrated Dynamic Archival Information System (Srikandi) in local government. Srikandi is an element of the Electronic-Based Government System's (SPBE) digital transformation, expected to improve archive management efficiency and foster transparent and accountable governance. Nonetheless, certain challenges persist regarding its practical execution. This research employs a case study technique and a qualitative approach. George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory, highlighting four dimensions communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure was employed to examine data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. This study concludes that enhanced communication, growth of human resource capacity, improvement of technological infrastructure, and the optimization of bureaucratic procedures are essential for the successful implementation of Srikandi. These results are expected to assist local governments in enhancing their strategies for future implementation of digital archive regulations.

Abstract

This research explores the control mechanisms in the development of Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), focusing on the contradiction between digital perception management strategies and operational responsiveness on the ground. Utilizing the "Information Distribution Funnel" visual modeling, this study dissects the phenomenon where positive narratives are massively produced on social media but face a bottleneck when dealing with the daily complaints of affected residents. This qualitative study employs an interpretivism paradigm involving 122 Multiple Helix informants. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews and netnographic sentiment analysis using NVivo 14 software. Findings reveal a control hegemony that is proactive in visual branding but tends to be reactive and bureaucratic regarding construction impacts such as dust pollution and damaged access roads. The main recommendation is directed towards strengthening the integration of the Command Center for a rapid response system for local residents to close the credibility gap between digital promises and physical reality.

Abstract

The development of information technology has shifted the public sphere toward digital democracy, where social media has become a primary instrument in modern political communication. This phenomenon has given rise to new digital actors, such as political influencers and political buzzers, who possess significant influence in disseminating narratives and shaping public opinion. Generation Z, as a demographic group with very high internet penetration and visually oriented information consumption patterns, has become the voter segment most vulnerable to exposure to digital political communication. Using a library research approach, this article aims to analyze the influence of political influencers and buzzers on the political preferences of Generation Z within the context of digital democracy in Indonesia. The data collection focused on journals within the last eight years and was selected based on specific criteria, resulting in 18 journals that were analyzed in depth, including researchers, methods, subjects, and main findings. The findings indicate that political influencers play a positive role in increasing political awareness and participation among Generation Z through the delivery of creative and communicative messages. However, on the other hand, digital strategies such as offensive content spread by buzzers, the phenomenon of echo chambers, and the rise of digital money politics through e-wallets pose serious challenges that could undermine the principles of free and fair elections as well as the quality of democracy itself. Therefore, this article concludes that strengthening critical digital literacy among young voters is essential to protect them from information manipulation and polarization in cyberspace.

Abstract

The conflict in Papua has been ongoing for several decades and has affected nearly every aspect of community life, including the political, economic, socio-cultural, and security spheres. In such situations, women are often viewed as victims rather than agents of change; however, the reality on the ground tells a different story. This study examines the role of women’s empowerment in conflict resolution management in Papua through a literature review approach. Using content analysis and thematic synthesis of academic literature, institutional reports, and relevant policy documents, this study finds that empowered women make tangible contributions to the effectiveness of conflict resolution through grassroots mediation, social reconciliation, and the strengthening of community social capital. At the same time, structural barriers—such as traditional patriarchal systems, limited access to education, and unstable security conditions—continue to consistently restrict the scope of action for Papuan women in the peace process. This study recommends that a gender perspective be systematically integrated into conflict resolution policies in Papua, as mandated by UN Security Council Resolution No. 1325 of 2000 on Women, Peace, and Security.

Abstract

Community participation is recognized as one of the fundamental components of sustainable slum settlement management. While numerous government programs have focused on improving physical infrastructure, long-term success depends largely on the active involvement of local communities in maintaining environmental quality. This study aims to analyze the level of community participation in the empowerment of slum settlement areas in Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 200 respondents selected through disproportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, field observations, documentation, and literature review. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to evaluate five indicators of community participation, including participation in community service activities, environmental cleanliness, environmental improvement initiatives, environmental awareness, and maintenance of public facilities. The findings reveal that community participation is generally categorized as good. Residents actively engage in environmental activities, demonstrate strong awareness of environmental cleanliness, participate in neighborhood improvement programs, and contribute to maintaining public facilities. These findings indicate that community participation functions as an important form of social capital supporting sustainable slum settlement management. Strengthening participatory approaches should therefore become an integral component of future urban settlement policies.

Abstract

Corn husk waste is one of the agricultural residues that has not been optimally utilized by the community of Talangkembar Village, Montong District, Tuban Regency. This condition contributes to environmental problems, including the accumulation of agricultural waste that may clog drainage channels. This community service program aimed to empower the local community by transforming corn husk waste into creative products with functional and economic value. The program employed the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach with a participatory method consisting of asset identification, program planning, training implementation, mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation. The activities involved the village government, youth organizations (Karang Taruna), women's groups (PKK), and the local community. The results demonstrated that participants were able to produce various creative products, including flower vases, artificial flowers, lanterns, keychains, home decorations, and souvenirs made from corn husks. In addition to producing creative handicrafts, the program enhanced community knowledge, skills, creativity, and participation in agricultural waste management. The utilization of corn husk waste contributed to reducing agricultural waste, preventing drainage blockage, and creating opportunities for local creative economic development. Therefore, the ABCD approach proved effective in empowering communities by optimizing local assets to support environmental sustainability and improve community welfare.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation process of the Unjung-unjungan tradition and analyze the internalization of mutual cooperation values within the community of Pabean Udik Village, Indramayu District, Indramayu Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research subjects consisted of community leaders, traditional leaders, village officials, and local residents involved in the implementation of the tradition. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that the Unjung-unjungan tradition is carried out through three main stages: preparation, core implementation, and closing activities. During the preparation stage, community members collaboratively prepare all necessary materials and arrangements. The core implementation includes cultural parades, collective prayers, and thanksgiving ceremonies at the Jaka Dolog Heritage Site as a form of respect for ancestors and gratitude to God Almighty. The closing stage is marked by entertainment activities and social interaction among community members. The internalization of mutual cooperation values is reflected in community collaboration during preparation, active participation from all members of society, organized task distribution, and collective involvement in carrying out activities for the common good. This tradition functions not only as a cultural heritage and religious ritual but also as a means of strengthening social relationships, enhancing community solidarity, and serving as a medium of social education for younger generations in fostering togetherness, responsibility, and social awareness. Therefore, the Unjung-unjungan tradition plays an important role in preserving local wisdom and reinforcing the social identity of the community amid contemporary social changes.

Abstract

Religious traditions in Indonesian Muslim communities are the result of the dynamic interaction between Islamic teachings and local culture. One example is the Takbir Festival in North Anjatan Village, which serves not only as a religious ritual but also as a social and cultural platform involving broad community participation. This research uses a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research problem formulation includes how the Takbir Festival is implemented, the Islamic and social values it embodies, the level of community participation, and its contribution to empowering Muslim communities. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of the Takbir Festival, identify its values, analyze community participation, and examine its contribution to community empowerment. The results show that the Takbir Festival has evolved from a simple activity to an organized one with planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. This activity embodies the values of monotheism, gratitude, and Islamic brotherhood, as well as social values such as mutual cooperation and solidarity. High community participation reflects strong social capital. In addition, this festival contributes to economic empowerment through UMKM activities, social empowerment through strengthening community cohesion, and youth empowerment through active involvement in creative activities and organizations.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the essence and implementation of the Ngunjung Buyut tradition integrated with wayang art, as well as to identify its implications for community empowerment in Jagapura Village, Cirebon. The results indicate that the essence of the Ngunjung Buyut tradition serves as a form of reverence to ancestors and a means of seeking safety, where wayang art functions as a complementary entertainment after the core rituals are completed. This tradition has positive implications for community empowerment, manifested through the strengthening of social capital in the form of spontaneous mutual cooperation during event preparation, as well as the enhancement of the local economy for traders and UMKM around the activity location. Nevertheless, the limited involvement of the younger generation, which remains restricted to supporting roles, poses a distinct challenge for the future process of cultural regeneration.
