Abstract

This study examines how cultural identity is communicated without words through the visual and spatial arrangements of Dusun Sade, a living Sasak heritage village in Lombok, Indonesia. Drawing on Foucault's conceptualization of spatial power and Rose's framework of the visual apparatus, the study argues that cultural identity communication in tourism operates through the systematic organization of space, movement, and visibility rather than through explicit narration or display. Systematic photo-documentation yielded a corpus of 127 images collected during fieldwork in December 2025, analyzed for recurring spatial and visual patterns at both empirical and discursive levels. Three patterns were identified: concentrated visitor movement along a primary corridor, consistent architectural emphasis on natural materials within that corridor, and the exclusive positioning of cultural and commercial activities along the established visitor route. Together, these arrangements produce a selective but coherent visual representation of the Sasak tradition that visitors encounter as natural and authentic. This study extends existing applications of Foucauldian and Rose's frameworks to the context of inhabited traditional villages, demonstrating that spatial governance operates as a mechanism of cultural identity production in living heritage tourism settings.

Abstract

This study examines the KPU Sergai Podcast as a digital public communication initiative for voter education. While podcasts offer potential to enhance political literacy through flexible and narrative-driven formats, their effectiveness in institutional contexts remains limited. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, integrating podcast analytics, content observation, and in-depth interviews to analyze how communication strategies are designed and implemented. The findings reveal that podcast performance remains suboptimal, as indicated by consistently low audience reach (fewer than 100 views per episode) and minimal engagement, including limited likes and the absence of comments and shares. These patterns suggest that the podcast has not succeeded in expanding its visibility or fostering interactive communication. Beyond descriptive results, the study identifies a structural communication problem. Internal constraints such as limited resources, lack of technical capacity, and restricted production quality shape content characteristics and distribution strategies, resulting in predominantly one-way communication and misalignment with audience preferences, particularly among younger users. The findings demonstrate a causal pathway in which these constraints lead to audience misalignment, low engagement, and passive audience behavior. This condition reflects a broader communication gap between the interactive potential of digital media and its practical implementation in governmental communication. This study contributes by offering an integrated analytical framework linking institutional capacity, content strategy, and audience engagement. Practically, it highlights the need for more interactive content, multi-platform distribution, and improved production quality to enhance digital public communication effectiveness.

Abstract

Online gambling advertisements have become increasingly prevalent across Indonesian social media platforms, although gambling is legally prohibited in Indonesia. These advertisements employ covert advertising strategies by masquerading as online gambling through familiar food and beverage imagery. Multimodal elements are utilized as a persuasive strategy to shape and normalize gambling practices. This study critically examines how multimodal elements are constructed in covert advertisements format and how these constructions contribute to the normalization of online gambling practices within Indonesian digital culture. The study demonstrates how multimodal elements operate as persuasive strategies in covert online gambling advertisements. Drawing upon Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA), the study analyzes three advertisements collected from the Meta Ads Library in 2025 that masquerade as Mie Sedaap (instant noodles), Potabee (snacks), and Sprite (soft drinks). The findings reveal two dominant normalization discourses. First, gambling is normalized as a familiar and risk-free consumption practice through symbolic associations with familiar food and beverage imagery. This process reflects a form of symbolic domestication, in which gambling is gradually relocated from a stigmatized and illegal activity into an ordinary and culturally familiar consumption practice. Second, gambling is normalized as an enjoyable and rewarding activity through promotional language emphasizing guaranteed winning and high financial profits, ultimately fostering an instant success fantasy. These findings contribute to critical discussions on covert advertising and online gambling normalization in Indonesia.

Abstract

Supervisor-subordinate communication is widely recognized as an important factor in employee motivation and performance. However, many previous studies have examined communication mainly as a general organizational variable, with limited attention to the relational processes through which supervisory communication is interpreted and transformed into motivational and performance-related outcomes. This study examines supervisor-subordinate communication as a relational mechanism in a hierarchical workplace context. In this study, relational mechanism refers to recurring communicative processes through which supervisory messages are interpreted by subordinates as sources of clarity, inclusion, guidance, support, and coordination. Using a qualitative case study design at PT Modella, Indonesia, this study draws on semi-structured interviews, observation, and organizational documentation involving one leadership-level key informant and five employee informants from production, packing, administration, and sales divisions. Thematic analysis identified five relational communication processes: task clarification, dialogic participation, constructive feedback, emotional support, and cross-functional coordination. These processes shaped work motivation by strengthening role certainty, perceived appreciation, psychological safety, learning orientation, and self-confidence. They also contributed to perceived performance through clearer task execution, fewer work errors, faster problem solving, and smoother inter-divisional coordination. The study contributes to organizational communication scholarship by showing that supervisor-subordinate communication influences motivation and perceived performance not only through information transmission but also through employees’ relational interpretation of supervisory interaction. The findings should be understood within the limits of a single qualitative case study and perceived rather than objectively measured performance.

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the development of research on public communication in smart cities during the 2016–2024 period through a bibliometric approach. Drawing on bibliometric analysis, it identifies the mapping of publication trends, knowledge structures, thematic developments, and the transformation of research paradigms related to public communication within smart city studies. It shows that research on public communication in smart cities has grown significantly since 2016. Early studies were primarily dominated by themes related to information and communication technologies (ICT), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, digital platforms, and smart governance systems. Over time, research trends shifted toward issues of citizen participation, transparency, digital inclusion, sustainability, privacy, cybersecurity, and ethical governance. The bibliometric analysis also reveals that the United States, China, and the United Kingdom are the countries with the highest publication contributions. Furthermore, the thematic synthesis identified five major research clusters: Digital Communication Infrastructure, Smart Governance and Citizen Participation, Sustainability and Urban Communication, Security and Privacy, and Human-Centered Smart Cities. This study confirms that public communication in smart cities is no longer limited to the dissemination of digital information but has evolved into a multidimensional governance approach that integrates citizen engagement, transparency, sustainability, digital ethics, and participatory communication within the broader framework of smart urban transformation.

Abstract

Sexual violence against girls constitutes a serious violation of human rights, with profound physical, psychological, and social consequences that require comprehensive and sustained responses. Within this context, such violence is closely linked to gendered power relations and vulnerabilities shaping girl’s experiences and recovery processes. This study aims to examine social work practice and communication in social rehabilitation for girl survivors of sexual violence at a Handayani Jakarta Service Center in Indonesia. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving five purposively selected informants, consisting of three social workers, one acting head of the center, and one administrative head; data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that social rehabilitation is implemented through stages including assessment, service planning, interventions across family, community, and residential settings, as well as monitoring and post-service support, with social workers performing on practice and communication within a survivor-centered approach. The study concludes that strengthening professional capacity, cross-sector coordination, and inclusive strategies is essential to support the sustainable recovery of girl survivors.
