Abstract

This study analyzes the “kaburajadulu (“Run Away First’) discourse as a form of digital public communication within Generation Z and government (officials and community leaders). Based on a multidisciplinary communication approach that integrates digital communication studies, political communication, media studies, and strategic communication, this study examines how narratives on X shape public perceptions and national discourse and generate implications for strategic communication, defense, and diplomacy.  Using a mixed research method grounded in big data analytics and media content analysis, this study analyzes 180,115 conversations from 148,710 Twitter/X users of Indonesians aged 19 to over 50 years old and reports from three leading media of Detik, Kompas, and Tribun from December 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. Based on sentiment analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), the study finds that 42.7% of netizens express direct support for “running away.” It is primarily motivated by the desire to pursue work and an education overseas. While 7% explicitly intend to renounce their citizenship because there is no future in Indonesia. The government indirectly encourages this movement by appearing neutral and introspective. The study finds that the discourse demonstrates how digital narrative and digital solidarity are rooted in declining trust toward the government. The study highlights the role of media and online platforms in constructing strategic narratives that extend beyond individual expression into broader socio-political implications. These communicative processes have important consequences for Indonesia’s non-kinetic defense and diplomacy, particularly the potential normalization of brain drain, the weakening of the national identity narrative, social division, and the impact on Indonesia’s international image and diaspora engagement. In the age of digital populism, the study suggests the significance of developing strategic communication, digital literacy, and public diplomacy narratives in order to reestablish trust and promote national resilience.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of a community-based approach in managing student demonstrations that experienced limited escalation in Yogyakarta and to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing the potential for conflict. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design focused on the demonstration that took place in front of the Yogyakarta Regional Police Headquarters in February 2026. Data were collected through media documentation, digital observation, and literature review, and were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model. The results indicate that the community-based approach was implemented through non-repressive strategies, such as the avoidance of excessive force and the selective handling of three students who were handed over to university authorities. This approach proved capable of keeping the situation under control without triggering a broader escalation of conflict. Furthermore, community involvement through the local practice of neighborhood watch played a crucial role in promoting de-escalation of the situation through community-based social control mechanisms. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the concepts of community policing and crisis communication by emphasizing the importance of collaboration, trust, and adaptive communication. The novelty of this research lies in the identification of neighborhood watch as a local form of the community approach, demonstrating that conflict management must be contextualized within the social and cultural practices of the community.

Abstract

This study examines how algorithm-based dialogic communication operates in TikTok Live as a form of digital religious service at the Bulukerto Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). The research aims to analyze interaction patterns, the role of algorithmic mediation, and the adaptation of dialogic communication principles in platform-based environments. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the TikTok Live host and non-participant observation of five live sessions. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring interaction structures. The findings reveal that communication does not occur randomly but follows a structured pattern consisting of three interconnected mechanisms: responsiveness, amplification, and selectivity. Responsiveness enables real-time interaction, amplification increases visibility through engagement signals, and selectivity filters which interactions receive attention. These mechanisms form an iterative communication system shaped by both human agency and algorithmic governance. This study contributes to the development of communication theory by integrating dialogic communication with algorithmic mediation into a conceptual model. Practically, the findings provide insights for public institutions in optimizing digital religious services within algorithm-driven platforms.

Abstract

The condition of gravestones associated with the Aceh Darussalam and Samudera Pasai Sultanates reflects a transformation in how sacred value is communicated within contemporary social life. Previous studies largely position gravestones as historical artifacts or objects of preservation, leaving a limited explanation of how their meaning is mediated through everyday practice. This study examines how routine interactions function as communicative processes that reshape the transmission of sacred value in postcolonial Aceh. Using a qualitative, practice-oriented approach, data were collected through field observation, in-depth interviews with five institutional and community informants, and document analysis across Aceh Besar, Banda Aceh, and Pidie. Thematic analysis identifies three recurring practices, functional reassignment, spatial neglect, and relocation, through which gravestones are disengaged from their religious and historical meanings. These findings indicate not reinterpretation but a breakdown in communicative transmission, shaped by disrupted historical knowledge, spatial pressure, and institutional limitations. The study reframes desacralization as a problem of mediated meaning and proposes communication-based heritage strategies grounded in historical literacy and situated interpretation.

Abstract

This study examines how Masjid Raya Bintaro Jaya (MRBJ) in suburban Jakarta adapts da'wah to young urban Muslims by integrating health-oriented lifestyles and environmental sustainability. Using a qualitative single-case study design with in-depth interviews with four key informants, supported by observation and document analysis, the study finds that MRBJ operates as a form of institutional popular piety: religious expression is shaped through mosque-initiated programs that draw on middle-class popular culture, rather than market logic. First, MRBJ translates eco-theological concepts into practical mosque programs, including waste donation, biopores, solar panels, greening initiatives, and a reverse vending machine. Second, it mobilizes sport, wellness, and digital activities such as fun runs, health screenings, and online content to attract and engage young Muslims. Third, these initiatives position the mosque as a hybrid institution that combines da'wah, ecological care, and lifestyle-based engagement. The main contribution of this article is theoretical: it extends the concept of popular piety from individual practice and consumer culture to the institutional level, showing that the mosque can actively produce and direct popular piety as a da'wah strategy. These findings enrich scholarship on urban mosques, contemporary da'wah, and popular Islam in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores environmental communication patterns and the internalization of ecotheological values ​​by the community of the Sipin Lake Ecotourism Area in maintaining the ecosystem of Sipin Lake in Jambi City. Although visual promotions have successfully increased tourist interest, the lake faces ecological challenges such as household waste and invasive weeds. This study uses a communication ethnography method with Dell Hymes' SPEAKING framework to analyze conversational events and communicative actions within the community. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with the lakeside community in Legok Village. The results show that the community effectively internalizes ecotheology by framing environmental issues within religious narratives, such as "Cleanliness is part of faith" and "Nature is a divine mandate." This internalization occurs through informal conversations in raft houses and religious gatherings. This study finds that this spirituality-based communication bridges the gap between the community's economic needs and environmental conservation. This study contributes to environmental communication theory by highlighting the importance of religious identity in mobilizing local ecological action.

Abstract

The transformation of visual symbols in contexts of religious transition is a complex phenomenon of cultural communication. This article analyzes the symbolic negotiation of Surya Majapahit, the eight-pointed solar emblem of the Majapahit Empire, as a visual communication medium that persisted across the shift from Hindu-Buddhist to Islamic cosmology in Java. Existing scholarship has largely overlooked how this symbol was actively renegotiated rather than passively inherited. Using a qualitative iconological method integrated with translocality theory, data were collected through artifact observation at temples, tombs, and the Great Mosque of Demak; semi-structured interviews with site custodians and cultural practitioners; and document analysis. The findings reveal a three-phase transformation: (1) full cosmological icon, (2) figurative reduction, and (3) geometric abstraction. The radial core was strategically retained as the communicative core, while Hindu-Buddhist figurative content was gradually eliminated to adapt to the aniconic Islamic visual regime. This symbol, therefore, functioned as a translocal node that actively produced a new Javanese-Islamic locality. The study contributes to intercultural visual communication by proposing “semiotic thinning” as a mechanism of symbolic continuity amid religious change. Limitations and recommendations for heritage interpretation and future research are outlined.
