Abstract

This study explores how ethical principles—such as honesty, empathy, responsibility, and dialogic respect—can address the growing challenges of online polarization, interpersonal conflict, and cultural fragmentation. Employing a qualitative literature review approach, this paper synthesizes insights from interdisciplinary sources spanning communication studies, media ethics, sociology, and digital literacy. The findings reveal that ethical communication is not only a theoretical construct but a practical necessity in digital ecosystems marked by anonymity, algorithmic bias, and declining civility. In particular, ethical frameworks rooted in dialogic theory and communicative action offer valuable strategies for navigating social differences and mitigating hostility. While challenges such as reduced empathy, shallow engagement, and institutional gaps persist, emerging opportunities exist through ethical platform design, digital education, and professional ethical leadership. Communication ethics, when embedded into policy, pedagogy, and everyday discourse, can transform online interaction into a space for inclusion, recognition, and relational healing. This study concludes that fostering ethically literate digital citizens is fundamental to achieving democratic engagement and sustainable peace in a digitally connected world. Communication must move beyond information transmission to become a vehicle for dignity, coexistence, and shared responsibility.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Collaborative Governance in the revitalization of Cadika Park to realize public open space in Medan City. The revitalization of Cadika Park is a strategic effort that involves collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the community to enhance the quality of public open space that serves as a venue for social interaction and recreation. According to the data, this revitalization is funded through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of PT Tor Ganda, with a total budget of IDR 22.6 billion. This research refers to three indicators of successful Collaborative Governance according to Emerson, Nabatchi, and Balogh (2012), namely: collaboration dynamics, collaborative actions, and impact and adaptation. The results indicate that the collaboration between the Youth and Sports Office, Bappeda, and PT Tor Ganda has been effective, although challenges remain in terms of oversight and community participation. Community involvement in maintaining and caring for the upgraded facilities is key to the success of this revitalization. The method used in this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach, which describes the situation, conditions, and collaborative processes involving various stakeholders. The findings show that although the revitalization of Cadika Park has had positive impacts, such as an increase in visitor numbers and environmental quality, challenges regarding community awareness and compliance with regulations still need to be addressed to ensure the sustainability of the park as a beneficial public open space.

Abstract

This article analyzes how the state’s political communication constructs and legitimizes agrarian reform discourse within the framework of global neoliberalism. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study synthesizes 32 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025, selected based on thematic relevance, methodological rigor, and empirical contribution. The analysis identifies a consistent pattern of rhetorical commitment to agrarian justice paired with the material reproduction of land inequality. In particular, the administrations of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Joko Widodo, and Prabowo Subianto have framed land reform as a technocratic process focused on land certification, while avoiding direct confrontation with entrenched elite land ownership. This communication strategy, rooted in hegemonic discourse, has normalized structural exclusion and depoliticized land conflicts. Despite the proliferation of populist slogans, policies remain aligned with corporate and investor interests, marginalizing rural communities and indigenous peoples. The study concludes that political communication in post-authoritarian Indonesia functions not merely as information dissemination but as an ideological tool to maintain elite consensus. Agrarian reform, to be effective, must be reclaimed as a political struggle rooted in participatory justice and grassroots mobilization. Without this shift, reform risks becoming an aesthetic performance rather than a transformative agenda.

Abstract

The increase in the number of motor vehicles in Medan City has led to traffic congestion and higher carbon emissions, contributing to worsening air pollution. According to data from the Medan Environmental Agency, carbon emissions from the transportation sector increased from 1,575 tons in 2020 to 2,154 tons in 2022. In addition, data from Kumparan Tech (2019) showed that Medan recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) score of 78, placing it among the five cities with the highest levels of air pollution in Indonesia. To address this issue, the Medan City Government implemented green transportation through an electric-based Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system as part of its sustainable development efforts. However, its implementation has not been optimal due to limited bus stop facilities, insufficient fleets and infrastructure, a decline in passenger numbers caused by the digital payment system, and a lack of coordination among stakeholders. This research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The theory used in this study is Litman’s (2015) green transportation theory, which includes the indicators of safety, environmental impact, comfort, and land use. The findings indicate that the implementation of green transportation through the Bus Rapid Transit system in Medan City has not been optimal, as facilities do not yet meet green transportation standards, public outreach remains limited, and there is no full coordination among stakeholders. This study recommends strengthening regulations, enhancing coordination among stakeholders, and improving service quality as strategic efforts to support the vision of Medan City as a green and sustainable city.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of political figures on the victory of the Golongan Karya (Golkar) Party in the 2024 Legislative Election in North Sumatra Province. The research focuses on the role of Musa Rajekshah (Bang Ijeck) as Chairman of the North Sumatra Golkar Regional Leadership Council (DPD), who is considered successful in mobilizing public support through social capital, a positive public image, and effective political communication strategies. The research employed a quantitative method with a multiple linear regression approach, involving 400 respondents selected through a multistage stratified purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests, followed by hypothesis testing. The results indicate that political figures have a positive and significant influence on voting decisions, with a coefficient value of 0.414, a t-value of 8.861, a significance level of 0.000, and a contribution of 61% (R²=0.610). These findings confirm that local political figures can be a key factor in winning elections, even without the support of national figures or the dominance of money politics practices. The practical implication of this study is the importance for political parties to maintain and develop the image of figures with integrity, capacity, and emotional closeness to the community, accompanied by adaptive communication strategies for various voter segments.
