Abstract

Rapid technological change is reshaping communication, education, economic activity, and cultural life in rural Indonesian communities. This study examines the impact of technology on socio-cultural change in the community of Gampong Lapang, Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh Regency. A qualitative research design with a descriptive approach was used. Data were collected through observation, interviews with village officials, community leaders, young people, and active technology users, and documentation; they were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings show that technology has a dual impact. Smartphones and digital platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and TikTok have eased access to information, accelerated communication, supported learning, and opened economic opportunities through online selling and digital transactions. However, excessive social media use has reduced face-to-face interaction, lowered youth participation in community activities, and exposed young people to external cultural influences that gradually marginalize local values. Technology thus acts as a catalyst of socio-cultural change whose outcomes depend on how it is used. Digital literacy and guidance from families, community leaders, and village institutions are needed so that technological progress does not weaken the community's social and cultural values.

Abstract

This integrative review examined how social media use and digital literacy relate to civic engagement among young people (aged roughly 16–30 years) in Indonesia. Scholarly publications and institutional documents published mainly between 2016 and 2026 were identified through purposive searches of scholarly databases and institutional repositories, and were retained if they addressed social media, digital literacy, or civic engagement, concerned young people, and had implications for education, citizenship, or participation. The final corpus comprised 17 sources (6 Indonesia-specific and 11 international); no formal quality appraisal was conducted, and the number of records screened was not recorded. Thematic synthesis yielded four themes: access and participation, information evaluation, civic expression, and collective action. The largely descriptive evidence suggests that social media widens opportunities for young people to encounter public issues, express opinions, and join networked campaigns, but online participation was not shown to become meaningful civic engagement automatically, because algorithmic visibility, unequal access and skills, misinformation, and polarization can limit its civic value. The review proposes, as the authors' conceptual synthesis and not a tested model, that digital literacy links access to informed participation and that schools, families, civil society organizations, public institutions, and platforms share responsibility for digital citizenship. The conclusions are interpretive and need empirical testing in Indonesian communities.

Abstract

This review examined how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can widen educational opportunity while also reproducing social inequality. An integrative review synthesized 24 sources: 17 Indonesian publications (2022–2026), identified through national journal portals and Google Scholar, and seven international policy documents and scholarly works (2016–2023) selected as conceptual anchors. Thematic analysis produced four themes: unequal access, unequal digital and AI literacy, unequal capacity to benefit from AI-supported learning, and governance risks involving privacy, bias, academic integrity, and human agency. The reported benefits of generative AI, such as tutoring, writing support, and translation, appear to depend on connectivity, devices, language resources, teacher competence, and students' ability to evaluate machine output. The Indonesian evidence is mostly cross-sectional, self-reported, or based on small single-institution samples, with little evidence on learning outcomes. One national household analysis of school participation (not AI use) found no significant difference between 3T (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost) and matched non-3T households, suggesting that regional labels may be an imperfect proxy for household conditions. The review proposes a cumulative model of AI inequality that extends van Dijk's sequence of digital inequality with a governance stage and a feedback loop. The model is a conceptual proposition, not a tested result, and recommendations are ordered by the strength of supporting evidence.

Abstract

Disaster outcomes in rural Indonesia are shaped not only by the intensity of hazards but also by the social relationships through which communities communicate, cooperate, and access resources. This integrative review examined how community social capital contributes to disaster resilience in rural Indonesia and under what conditions it fails to do so. A purposive corpus of 39 sources (22 peer-reviewed articles, 5 scholarly books or chapters, 3 national regulations, and 9 institutional documents) was identified through 150 database, giving priority to publications from 2016 to 2026 while retaining foundational works. The sources were synthesized thematically using four analytical categories: bonding, bridging, and linking social capital, and participatory knowledge. The synthesis indicated that bonding ties accelerate information sharing, mutual assistance, and psychosocial support in the first hours after a hazard strikes, although most of this evidence comes from outside Indonesia. However, dense internal networks may exclude women, migrants, persons with disabilities, poor households, and other groups with weaker access to community institutions. Bridging and linking relationships are therefore needed to widen participation and to connect villages with government agencies, health services, humanitarian organizations, and technical expertise. Local knowledge was most useful when it was documented and integrated with scientific risk information through participatory planning. Situation reports from the 2025–2026 floods and landslides in Sumatra are consistent with the need for multisectoral coordination and institutional learning. The review proposes a social resilience chain, a conceptual framework not yet tested empirically, that links trust, communication, coordination, collective action, and reflective learning, and concludes that rural resilience is a social process requiring investment in relationships alongside infrastructure and early-warning systems.

Abstract

Young people in multicultural communities negotiate cultural identity amid migration, globalization, and digital communication, yet the conditions under which local cultural identity strengthens rather than fragments social cohesion remain insufficiently theorized. This integrative review synthesized 38 sources on local cultural identity, social cohesion, intercultural interaction, and youth participation: 13 published between 2016 and 2026 and 25 foundational works from 1973 to 2015, of which six address Indonesia. Sources were selected purposively, without a formal screening log or quality appraisal, and analyzed through thematic synthesis. Four interrelated themes emerged: belonging, recognition, intercultural interaction, and participatory cultural practice. Comparison across sources suggests that local cultural identity supports cohesion when it provides continuity and attachment, is publicly recognized, and is enacted through cooperative activities with shared goals, and that it becomes exclusionary when cultural boundaries are treated as fixed. Indonesian cases from Maluku and Bali illustrate both outcomes, and diversity differs across regions. Young people act as cultural mediators, although digital visibility can simplify culture and intensify disputes over authenticity and ownership. The review proposes a conceptual, heuristic model linking recognition, belonging, participation, interaction, and mutual understanding under safeguards of inclusion and equal dignity. Evidence for the links is uneven, and the model requires empirical validation in varied multicultural settings. Recommendations for schools, communities, and local governments follow from the findings.
