Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of public relations in disseminating information about public transportation, using the Trans Cirebon Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a case study. The background of this study is based on the still-limited dissemination of information regarding BRT routes, schedules, and services, which has resulted in low public interest in using public transportation. This study employs a qualitative approach using the case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and a literature review, with informants selected using purposive sampling. The theoretical framework consists of Dozier and Broom’s Theory of the Role of Public Relations and Cutlip and Center’s Communication Planning Strategy. The results indicate that public relations plays a crucial role in disseminating information through four primary functions: as an expert prescriber, a communication facilitator, a problem-solving process facilitator, and a communication technician. However, the implementation of these roles has not been optimal, particularly regarding the equitable distribution of information to the public. In addition, obstacles were identified, including limited route coverage, limited access to bus stops, and a lack of effective communication strategies. The limited dissemination of information is one of the factors contributing to low public interest, which has led to the suspension of Trans Cirebon BRT operations. Therefore, a more integrated and effective communication strategy is needed to raise awareness and encourage the use of public transportation among the public.

Abstract

Merantau is a longstanding cultural tradition of the Minangkabau community that serves as a process of fostering independence, maturity, and personal development. In contemporary society, this tradition has undergone a shift in meaning, particularly among students who migrate to pursue higher education. Understanding how these students communicate and negotiate their cultural identity is important for multicultural student organizations and higher education institutions in creating inclusive environments that support intercultural adaptation while preserving cultural diversity. This study aims to describe the communication practices of Minangkabau students in interpreting the merantau tradition within the Minangkabau Student Association (IMAMI) in Surabaya, analyze the transformation of its cultural meaning, and explain how communication practices facilitate cultural adaptation while preserving Minangkabau cultural identity. This study employed a qualitative approach using communication ethnography. The participants were Minangkabau students who were active members of IMAMI Surabaya, and the communication practices were analyzed using Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING framework. The findings reveal that communication practices function not only as a means of information exchange but also as a medium for transmitting cultural values, strengthening solidarity, and reinforcing cultural identity. The meaning of merantau has shifted from primarily seeking economic livelihood to pursuing higher education, developing personal capacities, expanding social networks, and cultivating independence and responsibility. Furthermore, students adapt their communication styles and language use to the multicultural environment of Surabaya without abandoning their cultural values. The practice of maota lamak also plays a significant role in preserving Minangkabau cultural identity by facilitating advice-sharing, exchanging experiences, strengthening kinship, and transmitting traditional values. This study concludes that the communication practices of Minangkabau students in IMAMI Surabaya demonstrate successful cultural adaptation while maintaining their cultural identity.

Abstract

Volunteers who assist persons with disabilities must adapt their communication because spoken messages are not always sufficient. This study examines the process of nonverbal communication used by volunteers at Sahabat Difabel Lampung. The study employed a qualitative case-study approach within a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through participant observation on two occasions, semi-structured interviews with nine informants, and document review. The informants consisted of one key informant, seven volunteer informants, and one supporting informant. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, while source and technique triangulation were used to assess credibility. The findings show that volunteers begin by gaining attention and creating comfort through friendly facial expressions, eye contact, a calm approach, and appropriate physical distance. They then deliver messages through gestures, supportive touch, vocal cues, body position, sign language, writing, and digital media. Volunteers observe participants' responses and adapt the message to the individual and the situation. Instructions may be shortened, demonstrated, repeated, or transferred to a visual channel. When meaning remains unclear, volunteers check it again or seek assistance from another volunteer. These actions are interconnected rather than fixed in a linear sequence. Nonverbal communication therefore supports message delivery, mutual understanding, and the relationship between volunteers and persons with disabilities.

Abstract

Advances in electronic technology have transformed communication patterns within families, including communication between parents and children. WhatsApp has become an essential tool for maintaining connections when face-to-face communication is not possible. However, the use of WhatsApp in family communication does not always go smoothly and often presents various challenges. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms of communication barriers between parents and children via the WhatsApp app among students at SMPN Unggulan Sindang. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with six informants comprising four students and two parents as the data collection technique. Data analysis was conducted by applying Communication Network Theory. The results indicate that the most prominent communication barriers include slow responses, differences in communication styles and digital literacy across generations, and tension between children’s need for privacy and parental control. While WhatsApp facilitates coordination and maintains connectivity, it has not yet fully succeeded in strengthening emotional closeness. These findings suggest that the success of digital communication within the family context depends not only on technical factors but also on mutual agreement and the management of communication patterns between parents and children.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology and social media have transformed how Generation Z interacts, contributing to the emergence of Relationships Without Status, a romantic relationship characterized by emotional intimacy without formal commitment. This study aims to explore the meaning of Relationships Without Status among Generation Z in Cirebon, identify the emotional and social challenges they experience, and examine the influence of the local socio-cultural environment. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed using in-depth interviews with five informants, supported by non-participant observation, documentation, and a literature review. Data were analyzed through transcript coding, data reduction, thematic interpretation, and narrative presentation. The findings indicate that Relationships Without Status provide emotional freedom and opportunities for self-discovery but also generate anxiety, uncertainty, overthinking, and social pressure due to the absence of commitment. In Cirebon, where religious and traditional values remain influential, these relationships reflect a negotiation between modern relationship practices and prevailing social norms, highlighting both emotional flexibility and psychological vulnerability among Generation Z.
