Abstract

Water springs (mata air) in the highland regions of Bali play a vital role in sustaining local livelihoods, cultural identity, and ecological balance. Increasing pressures from tourism expansion, agricultural intensification, and changes in land use have led to declining water quality and reduced discharge, threatening both environmental sustainability and community well-being. Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) has emerged as a promising approach to safeguard local water resources by integrating traditional ecological knowledge, collective stewardship, and participatory governance. This study aims to examine how community-driven water spring conservation initiatives contribute to sustainable resource management and socio-environmental resilience in highland Bali. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative assessments of water quality and discharge stability with qualitative analysis of local governance practices. Data were collected through water sampling, structured observations, household surveys, and in-depth interviews with customary leaders, farmers, and conservation volunteers. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive comparison to identify ecological changes, while qualitative data underwent thematic coding to assess community engagement, values, and institutional support. The findings indicate that community-based conservation improved spring conditions through reforestation efforts, traditional zoning enforcement, and adoption of environmentally responsible agricultural practices. Participants demonstrated stronger awareness of water ecosystem functions and shared responsibility for long-term sustainability. The reactivation of customary regulations (awig-awig) and ritual practices strengthened compliance and collective monitoring efforts, enhancing institutional legitimacy. This study concludes that integrating cultural traditions with participatory ecological management produces effective, locally grounded conservation outcomes. Strengthening CBNRM strategies in highland Bali can support broader water security goals, climate resilience, and intergenerational environmental heritage protection. Policy alignment and multi-stakeholder collaboration will be essential to maintain ecological gains and scale the model to other sensitive watershed regions.

Abstract

Post-conflict communities often struggle with persistent trauma, weakened social cohesion, and limited youth agency in rebuilding peace. Young people, who are frequently among the most affected by violence, face ongoing psychosocial challenges and social exclusion, making their empowerment critical to sustainable conflict recovery. Participatory theater and arts have emerged as innovative, non-formal educational strategies that encourage creative expression, emotional healing, and collaborative problem-solving, offering new avenues for youth involvement in peacebuilding. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a participatory theater and arts program in enhancing youth empowerment and improving interpersonal conflict resolution skills in a post-conflict setting. A mixed-methods research design was implemented with 50 youth participants aged 15–22 from a post-conflict community. The intervention involved a twelve-week program combining drama workshops, storytelling circles, and collaborative performance creation. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-program assessments measuring empowerment indicators, self-confidence, and conflict resolution attitudes. Qualitative data were obtained through focus group discussions, reflective journals, and observation during rehearsals and performances. The findings indicate significant improvements in self-efficacy, communication competence, and constructive conflict-handling approaches among participants. Youth demonstrated enhanced empathy, reduced stigma toward rival groups, and greater willingness to engage in dialogue as solutions emerged collectively during arts-based exercises. Performances staged at community events successfully triggered intergroup interaction and re-opened public spaces for peaceful social exchange. The study concludes that participatory theater and arts provide a culturally adaptive and psychologically safe platform for youth to reconstruct identities, challenge narratives of division, and develop skills essential to long-term peacebuilding. Integrating arts-based empowerment programs into post-conflict community development may foster stronger social resilience and youth leadership in sustaining peace efforts.

Abstract

Rural communities often face significant barriers in accessing timely and reliable health information, including limited healthcare infrastructure, low digital connectivity, and shortages of qualified health professionals. Community radio has emerged as an accessible medium capable of delivering health education and disease prevention messages tailored to local social and cultural contexts. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of community radio as an educational intervention for improving public awareness, shaping preventive health behaviors, and fostering community engagement in rural health initiatives. A mixed-method approach was used involving surveys with 120 rural listeners, in-depth interviews with radio broadcasters and health workers, and content analysis of selected health programs aired over a three-month period. Results show that community radio significantly improved listener knowledge regarding infectious disease prevention, maternal and child health practices, and sanitation behaviors. Respondents reported increased confidence in applying preventive actions and greater participation in local health campaigns promoted through broadcasts. Qualitative findings further indicate that the use of local languages, storytelling formats, and trusted community figures enhances credibility and message acceptance. However, challenges such as inconsistent broadcast coverage, limited funding, and dependence on volunteer participation reduce program sustainability. The study concludes that community radio remains a powerful and culturally responsive tool for strengthening health literacy in underserved rural populations. Integrating radio-based health education with broader community health strategies and technological advancements, such as mobile interaction and social media extensions, can optimize effectiveness and long-term impacts. Conclusion. This study has significant implications for instructional practices in TFL settings and for L2 lecturers in the classroom. By understanding learners’ preferences for OCF, educators can tailor their instructional approaches to meet the specific needs of their students.

Abstract

Background. Neurodiversity support requires inclusive workplaces combining physical Universal Design (UD) (e.g., sensory spaces) and neurodiversity-friendly HR practices (e.g., flexible schedules). However, the synergy between these infrastructure and procedural elements is largely underexplored. Purpose. This research assesses the combined impact of UD features and neurodiversity-sensitive HR practices on neurodiverse employees, workplace inclusivity, and related outcomes. Method. A mixed-methods approach using quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews was conducted across 25 organizations, involving both employees and HR managers. Results. Integrating both UD facilities and neurodiversity-friendly HR practices significantly boosted employee satisfaction, engagement, and performance. This combination proved more effective than either factor alone, demonstrating a clear synergistic effect. Conclusion. A holistic approach merging UD infrastructure and HR strategies is crucial for neurodiversity inclusion, enhancing employee well-being and productivity. These findings provide a framework for future research on workplace diversity

Abstract

Background. Childbirth is a challenging experience, and the involvement of the husband in providing emotional and physical support can significantly impact maternal outcomes. However, paternal involvement in non-pharmacological labor support remains underexplored, particularly in Balikpapan. Purpose. This study aimed to optimize the role of husbands in supporting their wives during labor through education and simulation of non-pharmacological techniques. Method. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach, involving 50 couples from Balikpapan. Participants attended educational sessions on non-pharmacological pain relief techniques, followed by simulation exercises where husbands practiced these methods. Results. The results showed a significant increase in husbands’ knowledge, with the mean post-test score rising from 35% to 78%. Moreover, husbands demonstrated a 60% improvement in applying non-pharmacological techniques during simulated labor scenarios. Conclusion. The findings suggest that targeted education and simulation effectively enhance husbands’ preparedness to provide essential support during labor, contributing to improved maternal comfort and reduced anxiety. This study highlights the importance of including paternal education in prenatal care programs, advocating for a more family-centered approach to childbirth. Future research should explore the long-term effects of such interventions and their applicability across diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Background. The integration of digital infrastructure within the smart city paradigm has frequently prioritized technocratic efficiency over authentic civic engagement, leading to a critical need to re-evaluate how technology serves local communities. Purpose. This research explores the dynamics of digital participation to determine whether current smart initiatives truly foster grassroots empowerment or merely digitize existing institutional hierarchies. Method. A qualitative case study design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews and digital ethnography to analyze interaction patterns within community-led and municipal platforms. Results. Findings reveal a persistent agency paradox, where high technological access does not equate to political influence; instead, meaningful empowerment is driven by decentralized platform architectures and high levels of digital literacy. Results indicate that communities utilizing peer-to-peer networks achieve significantly higher policy impact compared to those restricted to top-down administrative applications. Conclusion. The study concludes that rethinking empowerment requires a shift from transactional service delivery to Algorithmic Agency, where citizens possess the autonomy to manage and contest community data. True smartness must be redefined through the lens of democratic inclusivity and technical self-sufficiency. This research provides a foundational framework for urban planners to design more equitable digital ecosystems that prioritize human-centric empowerment over purely operational metrics.
