Abstract

Unemployment is one of the primary issues in Eureunpalay Village, Cibalong Subdistrict, Tasikmalaya. Low education levels, limited access to skills training, and a lack of economic opportunities are the main contributing factors. The Eureunpalay Village Government implements development communication strategies to address unemployment through participatory and inclusive approaches. This study aims to analyze the development communication efforts carried out by the village government in tackling the unemployment problem. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The results indicate that development communication is conducted through various strategies, such as village deliberations, utilization of social media, and community economic empowerment programs. The village government actively socializes programs such as cash-for-work initiatives, skills training, and the development of agrotourism-based village tourism in Pasir Hantap. Moreover, open and collaborative communication between the village government, the Village Consultative Body (BPD), and the community contributes significantly to the effectiveness of the implemented programs. The study concludes that effective development communication can enhance community involvement in efforts to reduce unemployment. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize village communication media, strengthen the communication capacity of village officials, and conduct regular evaluations of the communication strategies applied.

Abstract

Sustainably preserving the functions of forests is the aim of sustainable forest management (SFM), which considers social, economic, and environmental issues.  For the sake of present and future generations, the FAO defines SFM as a dynamic concept that "aims to maintain and enhance the economic, social, and environmental values of all types of forests."  Enhancing livelihoods, maintaining biodiversity, preserving clean air and water, and lessening the consequences of climate change are just a few of the numerous benefits that sustainably managed forests may offer to both people and the environment. Two major players in the global climate change agenda are China and Indonesia, both of which have sizable forest areas. Indonesia, home to the biggest tropical peatland and third-largest tropical rainforest in the world, has seen a sharp rise in deforestation in recent decades. However, via government programs like the Grain for Green program, which reforests damaged land into wooded areas, China has accomplished a great deal of reforestation. A comparison of the two countries' forest management legislation is required in order to assess the effectiveness of different tactics and draw conclusions for sustainable forest governance. This article will examine the concept of SFM, examine the effectiveness of forest management policies in China and Indonesia, and evaluate the lessons learnt from them using the most recent statistics and official papers from sources such as the FAO, UNEP, the World Bank, and the relevant government publications. In addition to evaluating forest management strategies, this study looks at how environmental communication—particularly social media activism—influences public support for SFM programs.

Abstract

This study examines the digital branding strategy of Suasa Real Estate on Instagram through the Circular Model of SOME (Share, Optimize, Manage, Engage). Situated in the rapidly developing and environmentally sensitive region of Canggu, Bali, Suasa’s Instagram presence offers a compelling case for understanding how luxury real estate brands build awareness, aesthetic appeal, and digital trust. The research reveals that Suasa’s 'Share' strategy excels in creating a consistent and aspirational visual identity, combining curated imagery, uniform design elements, and storytelling to position itself within the high-end property market. In the 'Optimize', the company utilizes Instagram Insights and tailored content formats, such as Reels and Highlights, to adapt posts to audience behavior, demonstrating a data-driven approach to increasing relevance and reach. The 'Manage' component reflects internal coordination efforts that ensure consistent posting schedules and organized visual presentation. However, findings show that the 'Engage' dimension, while partially successful in eliciting organic likes and comments, lacks mechanisms for two-way interaction. Audience interviews highlight a gap in participatory content, suggesting opportunities for improvement through features like Question and Answer (Q&A) polls, or user-generated content. Additionally, the study identifies an untapped potential in Suasa’s brand narrative: the integration of environmental messaging. Given Bali’s ecological concerns, embedding sustainability themes into visual and textual content could enhance brand trust and long-term relevance. This research concludes that the SOME model is a valuable framework for evaluating Instagram branding, and that future brand growth will depend on Suasa’s ability to merge aesthetic sophistication with interactive, and environmentally conscious storytelling.

Abstract

This comprehensive article explores the indispensable role of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) in fostering truly inclusive environmental communication, particularly in the face of escalating global climate challenges. Drawing upon a synthesis of existing literature and real-world case studies, this paper elucidates how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)—a profound, place-based understanding of environmental stewardship—offers critical insights often overlooked in conventional environmental discourse. It highlights the historical marginalization of IK and advocates for a paradigm shift towards communication approaches that are culturally responsive, participatory, and equitable. The Inclusive Environmental Communication Framework (IECF), consisting of four interdependent domains, is proposed as a holistic and operational solution to guide inclusive environmental communication. The findings underscore that ethical and meaningful incorporation of Indigenous perspectives not only enriches environmental dialogue but is fundamental for achieving more effective, just, and sustainable climate action globally.

Abstract

Environmental communication, critical discourse analysis, religious institutions, ecological justice, media framing, epThis study explores the dynamics of environmental conflict communication between religious institutions and civil society activists through a critical discourse analysis of the televised debate on ROSI Kompas TV, focusing on nickel mining in Raja Ampat. Using Fairclough’s model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which comprises three levels—text, discursive practice, and social practice—this research investigates how Ulil Abshar Abdalla (representing PBNU) and activist Iqbal Damanik construct opposing narratives regarding the involvement of religious organizations in mining projects. PBNU frames the mining initiative as a form of “public benefit” and national development, while the activist emphasizes ecological justice and the protection of indigenous rights. The analysis reveals how language, diction, metaphors, and interruption strategies are employed to establish both legitimacy and resistance. Additionally, the role of media is shown to be central in framing and selecting narratives, often marginalizing the voices of directly affected indigenous communities. This study contributes to the growing field of environmental communication in Indonesia by demonstrating how ecological conflicts are constructed and contested within mainstream public discourse.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian online media framed the European Union’s Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) in 2023–2024. The EUDR, which mandates deforestation-free supply chains, has faced strong opposition from Indonesia, the world’s largest palm oil exporter, with officials accusing the EU of adopting a colonialist stance. Using a deductive quantitative content analysis of 273 news articles, we applied Semetko and Valkenburg’s framing model to identify dominant frames, news sources, and tone. Our findings show coverage was dominated by elite-driven narratives, episodic frames, and conflict-oriented reporting, focusing on political disputes and trade implications rather than systemic commodity governance. Smallholder farmers, those most affected by the regulation, were absent or represented only indirectly through associations. Government officials and industry dominated sourcing, while NGOs offered more thematic and nuanced perspectives but were marginal in mainstream reporting. These patterns reflect structural constraints in Indonesian journalism: oligarchic media ownership, market-driven content, and limited environmental expertise in newsrooms. We argue that these conditions narrow the scope of environmental journalism, reproducing official narratives while overlooking marginalized voices. The study also highlights the role of NGOs in providing alternative framings and calls for greater integration of their perspectives in reporting on transnational environmental policy.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the environmental communication practices of the Outer Baduy indigenous community in managing natural resources through an ethnoecological approach. This research is important because indigenous communities are often overlooked in discussions of sustainable resource management, yet they preserve local wisdom that supports ecological balance. A qualitative method with an ethnological approach was used. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with indigenous leaders and residents, and documentation, and then analyzed using social construction theory and cultural ecology theory. The findings reveal that the Outer Baduy community implements natural resource management based on local wisdom, including a huma-based agricultural system, pikukuh rules that limit overexploitation, and the use of traditional technology. Environmental communication is carried out orally through deliberation, religious rituals, and the intergenerational transmission of values. These practices form a pattern of ecological adaptation that maintains environmental sustainability while strengthening cultural identity. In conclusion, the environmental communication practices of the Outer Baduy indigenous community play a crucial role in preserving human-nature relationships and provide an ethical ecological framework that can inspire sustainable resource management in the wider community.

Abstract

This study investigates the cultural dynamics of Indonesian football supporters by focusing on rivalry, ritual, and the residues produced through visual swearing in urban spaces. Tracking local derbies and inter-group tensions, the research employs theories of collective behaviour alongside the neuro-psycho-social framework to explain how swearing operates as a ritualised emotional mechanism that regulates tension, reinforces solidarity, and asserts territorial boundaries among rival groups. Conducted through one-year qualitative ethnography, the study draws on participant observation, brief interviews, and document analysis of supporter posters, stickers, and graffiti. The findings reveal a critical spatial shift. Inside stadiums, swearing takes on ritual value: it amplifies rivalry, intensifies match-day atmosphere, and channels collective emotions in controlled ways. Outside stadiums, however, these ritual expressions leave material residues, most visibly through posters and stickers affixed to walls, trees, and road signs, as well as rivalry-driven graffiti. These visual forms of swearing extend symbolic aggression into public environments and generate long-lasting environmental damage. By connecting collective emotional behaviour with ecological consequences, this study introduces an analytical perspective rarely addressed in scholarship on swearing, which often focuses on individual or interpersonal dimensions. The findings offer strategic insights for supporter groups, football authorities, and urban policymakers seeking to preserve rivalry culture while reducing its environmental impact. Ultimately, the research argues that supporter expression must be understood not only as cultural ritual but also as a practice with measurable environmental residues.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of religious moderation perspectives and the internalization of ecotheology as strategies for building religious and ecological awareness in the border region of Natuna Regency. As a strategic archipelagic area, Natuna faces various ecological pressures such as coral reef degradation, coastal abrasion, and marine pollution driven by both local and transboundary activities. On the other hand, the people of Natuna possess a strong religious character and are deeply connected to their coastal environment, making religious values a potential moral foundation for shaping ecological behavior. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study examines the integration of religious moderation—grounded in principles of balance, tolerance, and cultural adaptation—with Islamic ecotheology, which emphasizes tauhid, khalifah, and amanah as spiritual foundations for environmental ethics. The findings indicate that the internalization of ecological values through religious channels is more readily accepted by the community, particularly through the roles of religious instructors, traditional leaders, and educational institutions. Programs such as Ecology-Oriented Religious Instructor Training, the Green Mosque Movement, and local wisdom–based preaching have proven relevant in strengthening environmental awareness among the Natuna community. This study highlights that integrating religious moderation and ecotheology can serve as a model for empowering coastal communities and as a strategy for socio-ecological resilience in border regions. The study recommends strengthening cross-sector collaboration, enhancing ecological literacy, and developing environmentally friendly curricula in schools and madrasahs.

Abstract

Indonesia holds the world’s largest nickel reserves, mainly in Sulawesi and Maluku, positioning the mineral as a strategic resource for stainless-steel production and electric-vehicle battery development. Yet, the rapid expansion of nickel mining has intensified environmental problems, particularly in Southeast Sulawesi. This study examines how Mongabay Indonesia frames environmental pollution linked to nickel mining and analyzes the implications of such framing for public understanding. Through qualitative content analysis of seventeen articles published between 2023 and 2025, the study identifies dominant narratives, issue emphases, and representations of socio-ecological impacts. Guided by Entman’s (1993) Framing Theory, the findings show that Mongabay Indonesia consistently portrays nickel mining as a multidimensional environmental threat, highlighting water contamination, sedimentation, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and increasing vulnerability among coastal and Indigenous communities. The coverage frequently features community testimonies, scientific evidence, and critiques of weak regulatory enforcement. Overall, the study underscores the role of alternative environmental media in shaping discourse, amplifying affected voices, and influencing public perspectives within Indonesia’s ongoing green-energy transition.
