Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Community Empowerment Program (PKM) "Creative Youth Anti-Unemployment" in improving the social skills and entrepreneurial capacity of community-based youth in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with 30 research subjects, consisting of 22 youth program participants, 3 community leaders, 3 training facilitators, and 2 supporting partners from MSMEs and the local government, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included Focus Group Discussions, in-depth interviews, and field observations. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles-Huberman model through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the community plays a significant role in developing participants' social skills, including communication, leadership, and teamwork. Practice-based training and mentoring improve entrepreneurial capacity, product design, financial management, and business marketing skills. The integration between the community and training encourages participants' readiness to start independent businesses and reduces the risk of unemployment. The PKM program successfully fosters a resilient, creative, and proactive entrepreneurial mindset and strengthens social networks that support business sustainability. These findings confirm that community-based youth empowerment is an effective strategy for economic independence and sustainable social capacity development.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media as a digital public sphere has fundamentally transformed patterns of social interaction and opinion formation. While social media enhances participation and access to information, it simultaneously intensifies social polarization. A key mechanism underlying this phenomenon is the echo chamber, understood as a closed communication structure that reinforces opinion homogeneity and limits exposure to alternative perspectives. This study aims to systematically analyze the mechanisms of echo chamber formation in the digital era and their implications for social cohesion. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach following PRISMA guidelines, this research synthesizes findings from reputable academic journals addressing echo chambers, social polarization, and social cohesion. The findings indicate that echo chambers emerge through the interaction of algorithmic content personalization, users’ psychological tendencies such as confirmation bias and selective exposure, and digital network structures characterized by homophily and high clustering. Furthermore, the review demonstrates that echo chambers significantly undermine social cohesion by reducing intergroup trust, weakening bridging social capital, and intensifying affective polarization. This study concludes that social polarization in the digital era stems not from diversity of opinions, but from structural information isolation, highlighting the need for platform designs and policies that foster cross-cutting exposure and inclusive digital interaction.

Abstract

Tourism development plays a vital role in regional economic growth, especially in culturally and environmentally significant areas such as Tomok and Tuktuk Siadong in Samosir Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the influence of tourism expansion on regional spatial planning and sustainable tourism, with a specific focus on the mediating role of hotel accommodation development. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from [state your actual sample size, e.g., 50] key stakeholders, including local government officials, hotel managers, and community representatives, selected through Slovin’s formula. Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was employed to test the hypothesized relationships among variables. The results demonstrate that tourism development significantly influences both regional spatial planning and sustainable tourism outcomes. Crucially, accommodation hotel development is found to partially mediate the relationship between tourism development and regional spatial planning, as well as between tourism development and sustainable tourism. These findings highlight that the growth and practices of the hospitality sector are pivotal in shaping land use, infrastructure demands, and the environmental and socio-cultural dimensions of tourism in the region. The study recommends integrated planning approaches that prioritize sustainable hotel development and enhance stakeholder collaboration to achieve balanced and resilient tourism growth in Tomok and Tuktuk Siadong.

Abstract

Disasters disrupt not only physical infrastructure but also social relations, collective identities, and community meaning systems. While disaster studies have extensively examined risk management, emergency response, and physical recovery, the social processes through which communities reconstruct identity and meaning in post-disaster contexts remain underexplored. This study examines social resilience as an interpretative and identity-based process through which communities actively reconstruct their social worlds after disasters. Using a qualitative sociological–interpretative approach, the research draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of community narratives involving disaster-affected communities. The findings demonstrate that social resilience is not a static capacity but a negotiated process shaped through collective narratives, solidarity practices, and symbolic actions. Communities redefine “who we are” by transforming experiences of loss into shared meanings that strengthen social bonds and collective agency. Furthermore, the construction of post-disaster identity occurs within unequal power relations, where community narratives often contest external representations imposed by state actors, humanitarian organizations, and media. In this sense, social resilience functions not only as adaptation but also as symbolic resistance against passive victimhood labels. The study contributes to disaster resilience scholarship by reframing resilience as a dynamic process of identity construction and meaning-making, offering a deeper understanding of post-disaster recovery beyond technical and material dimensions.

Abstract

This study aims to dissect in more depth the extent to which digital service innovations truly impact citizen satisfaction at the Jambi City Population and Civil Registration Office throughout 2024. Using a quantitative descriptive correlational design, I collected data from 56 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. All input from the Likert-scale questionnaire was then tested in stages using SPSS 25, starting with cross-checking validity and then proceeding to a simple linear regression analysis to precisely map the relationship patterns. The field results provide a fairly convincing picture: digital innovation has been proven to have a positive and significant impact with a contribution (determination coefficient) of 67.7%. Looking at the regression equation Y = 0.847 + 0.759X, a clear mathematical correlation is apparent: for every unit of digital innovation, citizen satisfaction will increase by 0.759 units. This figure confirms that information technology plays a fundamental role, not just a complementary bureaucratic accessory in Jambi. Digital innovation has transformed into a fundamental driving force that dictates the rise and fall of public satisfaction in administrative matters. Another interesting fact is that ease of access emerged as the highest dimension, scoring 4.12, while system reliability was the primary factor contributing to satisfaction, scoring 3.92. Of course, this digitalization path hasn't been smooth sailing, with obstacles such as the digital literacy gap, uneven infrastructure, and frequent system technical glitches hampering progress. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of boosting digital education, optimizing infrastructure, and continuously training employees to ensure the quality of public services in Jambi in the future.

Abstract

Micro social movements in rural areas represent collective community responses to persistent social inequality, particularly when formal interventions fail to address local needs. This study explores how informal empowerment practices function as micro social movements that are adaptive, community-based, and grounded in local agency. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted following identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and synthesis using Snyder’s guidelines. A total of 22 selected articles were analyzed through content analysis to examine patterns, strategies, and impacts of informal empowerment in addressing inequality. The findings indicate that micro social movements emerge through the interaction of social capital, informal structures, micro social innovations, and community participation. Social capital serves as the primary foundation enabling collective action, while informal structures such as self-help groups and traditional institutions act as social learning spaces. Social innovations, including digital technology adoption and local economic initiatives, enhance community capacity to respond to inequality. The study concludes that informal empowerment plays a strategic role in strengthening rural social resilience and fostering community autonomy. Structural implications include strengthening village policy frameworks, integrating digital technology, enhancing local leadership capacity, and promoting multi-actor collaboration to sustain micro social movements

Abstract

Regional autonomy is a key instrument for strengthening local government effectiveness, yet its impact largely depends on bureaucratic capacity and the quality of state–society relations. This study analyzes how the structure of regional autonomy, institutional capacity, and local socio-political dynamics influence the performance of local governments in Indonesia. Using a qualitative method through a literature-based policy analysis, the study systematically reviews relevant international and national research as well as official reports from organizations such as the OECD, the Ministry of Administrative Reform, and the World Bank. The findings show that autonomy does not automatically improve local service delivery, as variations in bureaucratic capacity including human resource competence, leadership quality, organizational culture, and innovation capability, constitute the primary determinants of governance effectiveness. Furthermore, weak public participation, limited transparency, and inadequate social accountability hinder the realization of the potential benefits of decentralization. These results highlight that effective local governance emerges from the interaction of delegated authority, strong bureaucratic capacity, and democratic state–society relations. The study recommends strengthening civil service capacity, improving accountability mechanisms, and advancing governance reforms to ensure that regional autonomy fulfills its intended purpose and contributes to societal welfare.

Abstract

Persistent local social welfare problems indicate the limitations of state-centered welfare approaches in addressing micro-level social dynamics and community-specific needs. This condition has encouraged the emergence of community-based social welfare practices through local community organizing as an adaptive response to the shortcomings of formal interventions. This study aims to analyze how local community organizing processes shape, sustain, and constrain community-based social welfare from a sociological perspective. The study employs a qualitative approach with a sociological design, utilizing in-depth interviews, participant observation, and community document analysis. The findings reveal that community-based social welfare is a social construction produced through the interaction of organizational structures, power relations, and internal social capital. Community organizing functions as a mechanism for building solidarity and collective capacity, while simultaneously creating arenas of contestation that affect the inclusiveness of welfare access. Furthermore, external interventions and social change significantly influence the sustainability of community-based welfare, particularly in relation to community autonomy and social legitimacy. This study highlights the importance of positioning communities as primary actors in sustainable social welfare practices and policies.

Abstract

Digital transformation has shifted the learning process from physical to virtual spaces, influencing patterns of interaction and social relations between students and educators. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to understand the subjective experiences of students and educators regarding changes in social relations during virtual learning. The research subjects consisted of 15 students and 5 educators selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, virtual observations, and digital documentation, then analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological stages. The results show that social relations in virtual learning spaces tend to be more functional, influenced by the intensity of digital interaction, technological access and literacy, communication ethics, social identity, and emotional aspects of students. The gap in digital access and capabilities creates new social stratifications that affect student participation and engagement. Changes in communication ethics and psychological pressures, including anxiety about appearing in front of a camera, also affect social cohesion. Group collaboration and support between students are important factors in building social closeness. Teachers have a strategic role in creating digital learning spaces that support healthy social interactions. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of learning strategies that maintain the quality of social relations in the digital era.
