Abstract

Building public trust to participate in a social program with a religious nuance that does not provide direct financial benefits is not simple. This study aims to describe the forms and obstacles to the creativity of persuasive communication of the Mosque Prosperity Council (DKM) in implementing the Ghairu Mahdha Worship Program at the Usuwatun Hasanah Grand Mosque. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method and a constructivist paradigm. Data collection techniques were carried out through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The theories used as analysis tools are relationship maintenance theory, adaptation interaction theory, and computer-mediated communication theory. The results of the study showed that DKM succeeded in building persuasive communication through transparency of fund reports during Friday sermons, an inclusive attitude towards all congregations, and active community involvement in program planning. Ghairu Mahdha worship programs, such as free circumcision, free marriage, dawn vegetable harvest, and Monday-Thursday iftar, are designed in a participatory manner and based on the values ​​of the Qur'an, especially Surah At-Taubah verse 18. DKM also transforms the function of the mosque from a mahdhah place of worship to a center for community solutions, inspired by mosques in Java Jogokariyan. Communication is carried out directly and indirectly through social media and live streaming. The main obstacle found was the lack of education during the change of management, which had an impact on the continuity of the program. This study contributes to the study of socio-religious communication and can be a practical reference for other mosques.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of noble family victories on voter turnout in the 2018 Bone Regency elections, focusing on how social, economic, cultural, and political factors contribute to determining the outcome of these elections. This study uses a quantitative approach through the distribution of questionnaires to the people of Bone Regency to explore their perceptions of the role of noble families in Pilkada. Data management was conducted using SmartPLS (SEM-PLS) software. The results show that all four factors have a positive and significant influence on voter turnout, confirming that the involvement of noble families is a symbol and a force capable of mobilizing community support. The findings suggest that noble families still play an important role in local politics, utilizing their extensive social networks, strong cultural influence, and economic and political support to maintain their dominance in the political arena. Their victories in local elections demonstrate the continuation of traditional political patterns rooted in local culture, albeit in a modern democratic context.

Abstract

Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMIs) face emotional challenges in maintaining family harmony due to geographical distance and dual roles. This study examines how PMIs use digital media to sustain emotional communication with their nuclear families, guided by the Uses and Gratifications Theory. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and digital communication documentation. Results show that digital platforms meet affective needs, maintain social bonds, and provide emotional relief. Gender influences the types of gratifications sought, while families emphasize reciprocal communication. Despite barriers such as time differences and limited access, video calls and messaging foster emotional closeness. Digital media play a vital role in supporting the emotional well-being of PMI and preserving long-distance family relationships.

Abstract

Korean dramas (K-Dramas) have become extremely popular among Indonesian audiences, offering an often idealized and romanticized depiction of Korean culture. This study examines the dynamics of Indonesian audiences’ perceptions of Korean dramas (K-Dramas) by analyzing comments on YouTube videos. This study uses topic modeling analysis to examine Indonesian audiences’ reactions through YouTube comments (85,840 comments from 720 videos). The study began with 15 topics generated by a topic modeling algorithm. Upon further analysis, the study found that several of these topics were closely related, leading to the consolidation of these topics into four broader main topics: (1) K-Drama as Entertainment, (2) Cultural Representations and Social Issues, (3) Personal Relationships and Family Dynamics, and (4) Social Reactions and National Dignity. This research implies that the findings can be used by policymakers and media industry players to develop strategies that support constructive cultural dialogue and develop content with more culturally sensitive narratives.

Abstract

The digital transformation of tax administration has prompted tax authorities to utilize social media as a tool for education and communication, including platforms such as TikTok. This study aims to examine the effect of perceived information quality on digital tax compliance, with digital tax literacy serving as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach and purposive sampling technique, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to taxpayers who are active TikTok users. The results show that perceived information quality does not have a direct effect on digital tax compliance but has a positive effect on digital tax literacy. Furthermore, digital tax literacy positively influences digital tax compliance and fully mediates the relationship between perceived information quality and digital tax compliance. These findings highlight the crucial role of digital literacy as a prerequisite for the effectiveness of tax communication through social media.

Abstract

Disasters often exacerbate existing gender inequalities, yet media representations rarely reflect this structural dimension. This study examines how mainstream Indonesian media framed gender issues following the 2022 Cianjur earthquake, using Entman’s framing theory through a social work perspective. A descriptive qualitative method was employed to analyze seven purposively selected online news articles using four framing dimensions: problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and treatment recommendation. The results reveal that women were predominantly portrayed as passive victims, with minimal acknowledgment of their agency or the structural causes of vulnerability. Media narratives emphasized emotional portrayals and short-term, charity-based solutions, while only one article offered a partial empowerment frame. These findings suggest that the media plays a critical role in shaping post-disaster gender narratives. The study concludes that integrating social work principles such as empowerment, justice, and inclusion into media analysis can inform more ethical and gender sensitive reporting practices, ultimately contributing to more equitable disaster recovery efforts

Abstract

This study explores how parents of Islamic boarding school students (santri) communicate and instill ethical values in their children's digital media use. Utilizing a qualitative narrative approach with 22 parent informants from PPQ Nahwa Nur, the research uncovers various parental communication patterns, Islamic values, challenges, and strategies in navigating digital parenting. The findings show a blend of restrictive and active mediation, rooted in Islamic teachings and dialogic approaches. Challenges include peer influence, digital addiction, and parental digital illiteracy.

Abstract

Situ Gede is an ecotourism destination in Bogor City that combines the attractions of a lake ecosystem and a forest. Situ Gede ecotourism is a community-based ecotourism site managed by the Local Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Situ Gede. Communication interactions within Pokdarwis generate various fantasy themes, which then form symbolic convergence (Bormann, Cragan, & Shields, 2001). These fantasy themes flow through both offline and online communication via WhatsApp group. This research aims to understand how the fantasy themes formed within Pokdarwis Situ Gede relate to the principles of ecotourism development. This study is qualitative, employing several methods, including virtual ethnography, observation, and interviews. The findings reveal that the rhetorical vision of Pokdarwis Situ Gede can be divided into four pillars: environmental education, conservation, community empowerment, and livelihood enhancement.
