Abstract

This study examines the effect of population density on public awareness of 3R-based domestic waste management in Sangkrah Village, Surakarta City, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 100 residents selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The findings indicate that most respondents possess a good understanding of the 3R concept, yet the implementation of recycling practices and participation in waste management activities remain at a moderate level. Statistical analysis shows that population density has no significant effect on public awareness of domestic waste management. The correlation between the variables was extremely weak, indicating that density alone does not determine environmental awareness. These findings suggest that public awareness is more strongly influenced by other factors, including infrastructure, social participation, and institutional support. The study provides empirical evidence for designing more effective urban waste management policies and community-based environmental programs.

Abstract

Urbanization has become a defining feature of contemporary development, particularly in rapidly growing cities where demographic expansion and spatial transformation increasingly affect residents’ quality of life. This study aims to analyze the influence of urbanization on the psychological comfort of urban residents in highly urbanized cities. Employing a qualitative literature review approach, the study synthesizes recent scholarly evidence on the relationships between urban growth, environmental conditions, social transformation, and mental well-being. The findings indicate that urbanization contributes to psychological discomfort through multiple interconnected pathways, including traffic congestion, environmental noise, population density, environmental degradation, and limited access to green open spaces. The review further reveals that urbanization weakens traditional social support systems and increases vulnerability to loneliness, stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. At the same time, green infrastructure and community cohesion emerge as important protective factors that support psychological resilience. These findings highlight the need to integrate mental health considerations into urban planning and development policies. Sustainable urban development should balance economic growth with environmental quality, social inclusion, and psychological well-being to enhance the overall quality of urban life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Instagram-based tourism promotion on destination awareness and visitation intention toward Lake Toba in the post-pandemic tourism context. A quantitative survey approach was employed involving 49 respondents who actively use Instagram as a source of tourism information. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The findings reveal that Instagram serves as a primary tourism information source for most respondents and significantly contributes to destination awareness, travel interest, and destination consideration. More than 80% of respondents reported increased interest in visiting Lake Toba after exposure to promotional content, while positive perceptions of content credibility and relevance strengthened destination image and recommendation intentions. The study also demonstrates the role of Instagram in encouraging electronic word-of-mouth behavior, thereby extending destination visibility beyond direct promotional efforts. These findings highlight the importance of visual social media as a strategic tool for destination branding and tourism marketing. The study provides theoretical and practical insights for tourism stakeholders seeking to enhance destination competitiveness through digital promotion strategies.

Abstract

This article examines the identity construction and cultural negotiation processes experienced by second-generation migrants in urban areas. Using a qualitative approach through case studies and in-depth interviews, this research highlights how second-generation migrants construct transnational identities that are fluid, hybrid, and contextual. The results show that they face challenges in the form of discrimination, stereotypes, and social pressures that often lead to identity crises, but also open up space for cultural resistance and creativity. Digital media plays a crucial role as a means of self-expression and the formation of transnational imagined communities, strengthening transnational connectedness and identity flexibility. These findings emphasize that second-generation migrant identities are not simply inherited from family but are dynamically shaped through social interactions, daily experiences, and the flow of globalization.

Abstract

This study examines how traditional rituals in Eastern Indonesia function as symbolic arenas for representing and legitimizing power within indigenous communities. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving traditional leaders, ritual specialists, elders, youth, and women participants. The findings show that ritual hierarchy, sacred objects, spiritual beliefs, and adaptive cultural practices collectively reinforce authority and sustain social order. Power is reproduced not only through visible leadership structures but also through symbolic meanings embedded in ritual performances, sacred materiality, and collective obedience. The study also reveals that ritual systems remain adaptive, accommodating generational, technological, and gender-related changes without losing symbolic legitimacy. These findings contribute to cultural anthropology by demonstrating that rituals operate as dynamic systems of symbolic governance. The study offers theoretical insights into symbolic power and practical implications for cultural preservation, indigenous governance, and policy development in culturally diverse societies.

Abstract

This study investigates the transformation of social structures in digital society through the perspective of network sociology. A quantitative approach was employed by integrating Social Network Analysis with survey data collected from 200 active social media users, supported by interaction data from 500 public digital accounts. The analysis examined digital interaction intensity, power distribution, digital solidarity, and structural network characteristics. The findings indicate that digital platforms have become central spaces for communication, relationship building, and collective participation while simultaneously reinforcing algorithmic inequalities and concentrated patterns of influence. Digital interactions strengthen social solidarity and facilitate the emergence of hybrid social identities that combine online and offline social roles rather than replacing traditional identities. The study contributes to the development of network sociology by demonstrating how structural network properties and individual perceptions jointly explain social transformation in the digital era. These findings provide practical insights for policymakers and platform developers to promote inclusive digital governance, strengthen digital literacy, and support more equitable participation within increasingly interconnected digital communities.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Indonesia's urban middle class has transformed patterns of consumption, social mobility, and identity formation within contemporary urban society. This study aims to examine the influence of consumerism and social mobility on the construction of new identities among the urban middle class. A quantitative survey was conducted with 400 respondents from five major Indonesian cities using purposive and proportional random sampling techniques. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire employing a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that consumerism, social mobility, and new identity formation all demonstrate relatively high mean scores, reflecting strong urban middle-class aspirations and lifestyle orientation. Regression analysis reveals that consumerism has a stronger effect on identity formation than social mobility, suggesting that symbolic consumption plays a more prominent role than structural advancement in shaping contemporary urban identities. The study contributes to urban sociology by providing an integrated understanding of consumer behavior, mobility aspirations, and identity formation, offering practical implications for policies supporting sustainable and inclusive urban middle-class development.

Abstract

This study examines gender relations in contemporary Indonesian families by analyzing the interaction between domestic roles, public roles, and perceptions of gender equality. A quantitative survey was conducted among 700 respondents representing 350 married couples residing in five major Indonesian cities. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that although childcare is increasingly perceived as a shared responsibility, routine domestic work remains disproportionately performed by women, indicating the persistence of unequal household labor. Women's participation in the public sphere significantly strengthens perceptions of gender equality and demonstrates a stronger influence than domestic role participation. Nevertheless, traditional expectations regarding men as primary breadwinners continue to coexist with increasingly egalitarian attitudes, reflecting an ongoing negotiation between cultural traditions and modern social change. The study contributes to family sociology by providing an integrated empirical framework that explains how domestic and public participation collectively shape gender relations. The findings also offer practical insights for developing family policies and workplace strategies that support more equitable gender relations in contemporary societies.

Abstract

This study examines the role of social media in shaping the political behavior of university students in Makassar. The research aims to analyze how digital platforms influence political awareness, attitudes, and participation among youth in an increasingly connected society. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining survey data from 200 students and in-depth interviews with 20 participants. The findings indicate that social media has become a central source of political information, with Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok serving as the dominant platforms. Social media significantly enhances political awareness and encourages political discussion, although its impact on political trust remains mixed due to misinformation and conflicting narratives. Political participation is largely characterized by online engagement, while offline participation remains limited. These findings suggest that social media functions as both an empowering and contested space for youth political socialization. The study highlights the need to strengthen digital literacy and critical political engagement to foster more informed democratic participation among young citizens.

Abstract

This study examines how interfaith communities in Central Sulawesi transform religious pluralism into social cohesion in a post-conflict environment. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document analysis involving 30 participants from diverse religious and community backgrounds. The findings reveal that everyday interfaith interaction, collaborative peacebuilding initiatives, and shared community activities significantly contribute to trust-building, prejudice reduction, and social solidarity. The study also identifies persistent challenges, including historical trauma, economic inequality, political manipulation of religion, and digital radicalization. These findings indicate that sustainable social cohesion requires more than passive tolerance; it depends on inclusive institutions, equitable development, and continuous interfaith cooperation. The study contributes to the literature by offering an integrated understanding of pluralism, peacebuilding, and cohesion in post-conflict societies, while providing practical insights for policymakers and community leaders seeking to strengthen long-term interreligious harmony.
