Abstract

This study aims to discover how Gen Z discusses the COVID-19 vaccine through social media discussion, participation, and ideas in a virtual public space. Recently, online media coverage has been massive, especially regarding the COVID-19 vaccine produced in Indonesia or purchased by the Indonesian government from foreign countries. Another thing that was also discussed was the priority of the vaccine recipients, which ministers in Indonesia presented with different approaches. Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Muhadjir Effendy, emphasized that lecturers and teachers are prioritized to receive vaccines. Previously, the coordinating minister for the Economy, Airlangga Hartarto, said medical personnel was prioritized. The Chief Executive of COVID-19 Handling and National Economic Recovery Committee (KPCPEN), Erick Thohir, also stated that health workers were a priority. Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Terawan, noted that the priority for vaccine recipients is medic, paramedic, public services, TNI/Polri, and all educators. This variety of information and news is understood differently by the Indonesian people, including among Gen Z. Using the virtual public sphere, where freedom of expression in a democratic manner is the key to the emancipatory communication process. This research method uses extensive data analysis to collect conversations about the COVID-19 vaccine on social media, especially on Twitter, from 1-31 March 2021. The results show that although Generation Z is actively involved in the COVID-19 Vaccine discussion, they are not The Prominent Key Opinion Leader (KOL), who is the key player in communicating this issue via Twitter.

Abstract

This article aims to determine council members' involvement in carrying out their duties and responsibilities related to community empowerment. Furthermore, to find out how council members maximize the potential of the region and its community with a power and policy approach. Political CSR is an inherent obligation of parliamentarians because the people elect them in a formal and legal contest. The carried-out mandate should present full responsibility to struggle for the community's welfare in internal work as a legislative product holder and external work in serving the community. This research uses an intrinsic case study approach with the object of research on legislative members in the Grobogan Regency. The socio-political responsibilities of the parliamentarians will be studied based on the triple C approach; they are Community Relations, Community Empowerment, and Community Service. Community relations aim to foster a harmonious relationship between organizations (politicians) and the community to increase social awareness and mutual understanding. Community Empowerment is an effort to develop community potential and overcome existing societal problems. The involvement of council members in community empowerment is implemented in three stages: good community relations, community empowerment in the form of community advocacy, and creating an institution that educates the community and community service by prioritizing comprehensive services.

Abstract

The ecosystem around Mount Merapi, Indonesia, has many potential water sources. Still, poor management and a decrease in springs may lead to a water crisis in 2029 that could affect millions of residents in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study aims to identify the inhibiting factors for collaborative water governance under the threat of a water crisis. This research used qualitative descriptive research with data collected through interviews, documents, and observations. The analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification to explore Yogyakarta's water management aspects. The study suggests that collaborative water governance involving multiple stakeholders, including non-government actors, is crucial for effective water management. The local government dominates water management, while private and community groups have minimal involvement. There is a need for more specific regulations that comprehensively regulate water management and conservation efforts in the regions. Water management in Yogyakarta is classified under traditional governance due to the limited involvement of non-government actors and the  minimal participation space provided by the regional government. A comprehensive regulation is needed to address water conservation, and complete collaboration among stakeholders is necessary to overcome obstacles in the water management crisis.

Abstract

Editorials occupy a vital position in the media because they present official media opinions to the public on specific issues, including human rights issues. Therefore, this study focuses on how Kompas daily frames editorials on human rights issues in January and December 2014–2021. The research method is qualitative with Urs Dahinden framing analysis techniques. This technique divides the typology of frames into five things: conflict, economy, progress, moral, and episodic. Dahinden's framing approach is interesting because it differentiates between issues and frames. January and December 2014-2021 were selected because this research does not focus on specific issues. January is a critical moment to reflect on human rights issues over the past year and the next. In addition, December is the month of commemoration of International Human Rights Day. The study results conclude that Kompas uses two different frames in its editorial related to human rights issues. In civil and political human rights, Kompas consistently uses a moral frame. Meanwhile, Kompas uses episodic, economic, and moral frames on economic, social, and cultural issues.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the Instagram content management within Ciburial Village, a thriving tourist destination in Bandung Regency, West Java. In the evolving landscape of sustainable tourism, the role of social media platforms, especially Instagram, is pivotal in shaping the narratives of tourist destinations. This study utilizes quantitative content analysis by scrutinizing 134 Instagram uploads from 2021 to unravel the patterns of photo and video uploads, caption messaging, geotagging, and hashtag usage. The findings reveal a preference for photo uploads, predominantly showcasing the vibrant activities of Ciburial Village. Informative captions, while prevalent, lack persuasive elements that can enhance user engagement. The analysis highlights a limited utilization of interactive features, leading to a low engagement rate, a crucial metric for evaluating online presence. Notably, the study identifies the sparse interaction with other accounts and the predominant use of branded hashtags contributing to the account's engagement challenges. The study underscores the importance of fostering a user-centric approach in Instagram content management. Encouraging active participation from followers in content creation and caption ideation can stimulate increased interaction and bolster community bonds. The research contributes significantly to enhance engagement, nurture a vibrant online community, and contribute significantly to sustainable tourism practices by adopting a more inclusive and participatory strategy.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia led to the collapse of national health facilities and the economy, which resulted in the acceleration of the invention of COVID-19 vaccines. However, only 54.9% of the population is willing to be vaccinated due to fake news or hoaxes. The government urges the public to obey regulations, especially in public spaces, and intensifies socialization through various media, such as YouTube. This study aims to determine the critical elements that compose the video on the YouTube channel so that it can be used as a medium to persuade the wider community. This study used qualitative methods to collect visual and textual data from purposively selected videos and screenshots, which were analyzed using communication theory for persuasion and a constructionist approach to interpret the data and identify variables such as the message's source, characteristics of the recipient, and purpose of the message. The Indonesian Ministry of Health and the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board collaborated to create a 2-minute, 53-second video on the importance of vaccination in Indonesia, particularly for Muslims. The video features PBNU's Health Head, dr. Syahrizal Syarif effectively educates the public on vaccination's significance and emphasizes community unity to support the government's vaccination program. The communicator in the video successfully positioned himself as a religious leader and doctor. The video is effective in communicating three key messages. It uses persuasive communication theory, using YouTube's power to influence people's opinions, suggesting that the government should use digital platforms to deliver more messages to the citizens in the future.

Abstract

Online friendship has become common between generations, especially among Gen Z and Millennials, and some friendships transition from online to offline, which requires disclosing their offline identities. Despite the risks involved, Online Social Networks (OSNs) are essential daily and provide self-expression, social pleasure, and networking opportunities. Privacy is a complex concept with different definitions, and interpersonal communication can be private but can become public depending on the context. Self-disclosure and trust are essential factors in online friendships. This study used netnography to study online consumer-based communities, particularly volleyball fans. We conducted observations, literature reviews, and interviews with informants who had experienced shifting from online friendships to offline ones. We analyzed the data descriptively using the theories of trust and self-disclosure. Participants connect with others who share the same interest in volleyball. They both use pseudonyms to protect their privacy but occasionally post pictures with censorship on their faces due to anxiety over privacy and online crime. They both establish trust with their online friends by analyzing their reputation, performance, mutual friends, interaction, and persona before extending their friendship from online to offline. The study found eight communication patterns that create trust, such as talking about common interests and exchanging personal information, and suggests opportunities for further research on comparing different age and gender groups and exploring communication patterns in other social media platforms.

Abstract

The lack of Indonesian culinary-themed films that discuss public health literacy is reflected in the limited number of titles available. The film, Aruna dan Lidahnya, is a topic of discussion as it raises issues related to culinary tourism, religion, public policy, and public health literacy, specifically the avian influenza virus outbreak, which has objective and subjective dimensions. This study aims to discover how culinary films are constructed in health literacy and why the film is constructed as a form of health literacy. This qualitative study uses a case study approach to investigate how and why culinary films are constructed as a form of health literacy, specifically focusing on the film Aruna dan Lidahnya. The researchers used primary and secondary data from the film from literature studies and observations and applied data analysis techniques to interpret the data. The film Aruna dan Lidahnya promotes the potential of local cuisine as a unique attraction to grow the economy of tourist destinations. It also emphasizes the importance of health communication in raising public awareness about the avian influenza virus and following health protocols. The film highlights the need for cultural and local wisdom-based tourism development for a more ethical and aesthetic tourist attraction. Aruna dan Lidahnya is a film that highlights the potential of local cuisine in developing tourist destinations in four cities affected by the avian influenza virus. Developing tourist destinations based on local cuisine can improve social welfare and the area's economy and be a unique attraction for cultural tourism. The film also emphasizes the importance of health communication, following health protocols, and spreading awareness about the avian influenza virus in the context of local culinary opportunities.
