Abstract

Rapid urban growth and population increases in Banda Aceh have heightened the need for public spaces that support community interaction. City parks have emerged as potential "third places," providing environments distinct from home and work. This study evaluates three parks in Banda Aceh — Blang Padang Field Park, Sari/Bustanussalatin Park, and Krueng Neng Park — against criteria such as openness, flexibility, and contextuality relevance. Using mixed methods, including field surveys, observations, and questionnaires distributed to 100 visitors, the research highlights these parks as inclusive social hubs. Each park has distinct roles: Blang Padang serves as a social and sports hub, Taman Sari emphasizes historical and cultural connections, and Krueng Neng prioritizes family-oriented facilities like playgrounds and fishing areas. Despite their benefits, issues like cleanliness, safety, and inadequate facilities need attention to enhance their utility. Recommendations include adding sports facilities and Wi-Fi to Blang Padang for students and freelancers, transforming Taman Sari into a cultural hub with art and discussion spaces, and enhancing Krueng Neng with better family recreation amenities and accessibility. With improved management, these parks could foster social bonds, offer dynamic interaction spaces, and elevate Banda Aceh residents’ quality of life.

Abstract

Abstract. Dinda Azzura (@dinzzur) is a beauty influencer who has built her followers’ trust through content shared on the social media platform Instagram. She consistently provides honest beauty product reviews, making her a reference point for followers in understanding products that suit their skin needs and in making purchasing decisions. This study aims to explore how followers’ trust is formed through beauty product reviews conducted by Dinda Azzura. This research employs a qualitative method with a mixed netnographic approach and adopts the theoretical framework of symbolic interactionism. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, including photos, feed videos, short videos (reels), comments, and content from the broadcast channel of the Instagram account @dinzzur. The findings show that followers’ trust in Dinda is built through open and honest interaction. Dinda’s authenticity in delivering transparent and educational reviews strengthens her credibility as an influencer. She also maintains consistent communication through visually engaging content and direct responses to her followers’ questions or comments. However, the study also reveals a tendency toward bias, where followers often trust Dinda’s product recommendations without conducting further research. Despite her efforts to provide educational content, many followers remain uncritical in evaluating the information they receive. Thus, this study highlights how social media platforms such as Instagram can shape bias in purchasing decisions, particularly when a high level of trust in an influencer leads followers to overlook critical personal evaluation processes.

Abstract

The concept of a winning strategy in electoral politics refers to a systematically designed and strategically implemented plan developed by legislative candidates and their campaign teams to secure electoral victory.This study investigates the political strategy employed by Tarmizi, a candidate from the Aceh Party, during the 2024 simultaneous legislative elections for the Aceh Provincial House of Representatives (DPRA) in Electoral District 10. Tarmizi successfully secured a DPRA seat for the 2024–2026 term, with a remarkable 100% increase in votes compared to the previous election, reaching a total of 20,928 votes. The purpose of this research is twofold: first, to analyze the strategic approach adopted by Tarmizi in the DPRA legislative contest of 2024; second, to identify the key political factors influencing his electability. Employing a qualitative-descriptive research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The study is grounded in political marketing theory, Peter Schroder’s political strategy framework, and the concept of political positioning. The findings reveal that Tarmizi’s campaign strategy was primarily characterized by a political marketing approach, specifically push marketing techniques emphasizing social engagement and grassroots outreach. His electoral success was significantly influenced by his established political track record, endorsement from influential religious figures, a trustworthy and socially engaged public persona, and an effective issue-based positioning strategy that resonated with voters, particularly on socio-political concerns cultivated since his previous term.

Abstract

This study focuses on the social transformation carried out by the Indonesian Moslem Student Movement (PMII) in addressing the moral crisis among young generations, which is marked by the weakening of integrity, low social awareness, and the rise of pragmatic behavior that threatens the socio-humanitarian order. The purpose of this research is to analyze how PMII’s cadre system serves as a strategic instrument in shaping moral awareness, building character, and strengthening the social capacity of youth amidst the dynamics of social change. The method employed is library research by analyzing academic literature, scholarly articles, books, and organizational documents, with a descriptive-analytical approach used to identify the correlation between the moral crisis of young people and PMII’s cadre system as a solution for social transformation. The findings reveal that PMII’s cadre system provides an effective response to the moral crisis by internalizing religious, intellectual, and humanitarian values, thereby producing cadres who are not only organizationally militant but also act as agents of change with strong social orientations. The implication of this study emphasizes that youth organizations grounded in Islamic values have significant potential in shaping a generation with character, integrity, and social transformative capacity, while also highlighting the importance of integrating formal education, non-formal learning, and youth organizations in responding to moral and social challenges in the era of globalization.

Abstract

The baby bathing tradition is a cultural heritage that the community of Kuta Sayeh Village, Seunagan District, Nagan Raya Regency, continues to preserve. This tradition expresses gratitude to God for the birth of a child. Its practice involves various symbols and ritual actions believed to bring blessings to the baby. However, understanding the symbolic meanings embedded in this tradition has gradually diminished, turning its implementation into a mere inherited routine devoid of profound interpretation. This study aims to explore, document, and disseminate the symbolic meanings within the communicative processes of the baby bathing tradition in Kuta Sayeh. The theory employed is Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotics, utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews and documentation with purposively selected informants. The findings reveal that each symbol in the ritual carries deep philosophical meaning, expressed through prayers or aspirations. For instance, the Qur'an symbolizes life guidance; pure gold, coconut milk, and sweets signify preciousness, politeness, and guarded speech; tepung tawar represents protection and serenity; chicken heart wrapped in eggplant leaves denotes courage and calmness; sticky rice signifies blessings and prosperity; dates represent sweetness of speech; rice and paddy symbolize abundance; a mirror signifies self-awareness; powder, scissors, and a comb symbolize beauty, new beginnings, and neatness; while a split coconut under an umbrella embodies a peaceful soul. Thus, the tradition encompasses social, moral, and spiritual values that are essential to preserve and reintroduce to younger generations as a meaningful part of local cultural identity.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the integration of the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach with digitalization in the social and economic empowerment of rural communities, specifically in Ledokombo Village, Jember Regency. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that the ABCD approach effectively identifies and mobilizes local assets, including individual skills in traditional food processing, social capital through community networks, and cultural values that strengthen village identity. This approach builds a strong social foundation, increases active community participation, and fosters the formation of working groups for MSME coordination. Digitalization acts as an empowerment accelerator through the use of Google Maps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and digital literacy. All MSMEs are registered online, customer interactions have increased, and spatial mapping enables data-based planning. The tangible impacts of this integration include a 30–50% increase in MSME revenue, expanded market access beyond the district, and strengthened social networks and digital inclusion. The synergy between ABCD and digitalization creates a hybrid empowerment model that not only enhances local economic capacity but also strengthens social cohesion and community readiness to face global challenges. This study demonstrates that asset-based empowerment strategies combined with technological innovation can serve as an inclusive, sustainable, and contextual rural development model for other villages in Indonesia, while contributing to improved social and economic well-being in the digital era.

Abstract

Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) are one manifestation of democratic governance in Indonesia, providing the public with the opportunity to elect their regional leaders directly. However, the practice of money politics continues to threaten the integrity of elections, including in Banda Aceh City. This research is motivated by the high Human Development Index and education level in Banda Aceh, which have not been fully effective in suppressing money politics during the 2024 Pilkada. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of money politics on community participation in the 2024 Pilkada in Banda Aceh City. This research employs Edward Aspinal’s theory of money politics and the theory of political participation as its conceptual foundation. The research uses a quantitative approach, employing a survey method via the distribution of questionnaires to 322 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. The collected data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, simple linear regression, and t-tests. The results indicate that money politics influences community participation, though its contribution is relatively small, with an R² of 35%. This finding suggests that money politics still affects voting behavior, even as some members of the community have begun to show greater political awareness. Based on the results, this study emphasizes the need for election organizers and supervisory bodies to strengthen political education. It encourages political parties to conduct more ethical, transparent, and accountable campaigns, thereby further improving the quality of democracy at the local level.

Abstract

This study analyzes the victory of Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar in the 2024 presidential election in Aceh Province, focusing on how their campaign strategies and content through social media influenced public perception and voting behavior. The research aims to explain how political communication conducted through both digital and mainstream media became a determining factor in shaping the political preferences of the Acehnese community. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collected data through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The theoretical framework is based on political communication theory and agenda-setting theory, which help explain how the media can influence the formation of public opinion and political attitudes. The findings reveal that social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook became the main channels for communicating messages, building emotional connections, and strengthening the candidates’ popularity among the Acehnese people. Campaign content that emphasized religious values, moral integrity, and local identity was particularly effective in attracting attention and generating engagement. The use of regional symbols and culturally resonant narratives further enhanced the message’s authenticity and relevance. Meanwhile, mainstream media such as television, radio, and newspapers played a secondary yet important role in reinforcing credibility and delivering structured messages. However, its reach remained limited unless its content was amplified through social media sharing. In conclusion, the success of Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar in Aceh was closely linked to their adaptive political communication strategy, which combined cultural sensitivity, emotional appeal, and strategic use of digital media to influence voter perceptions and strengthen political legitimacy.
