Abstract

Background. Indonesia faces increasingly complex disaster management challenges due to the high frequency of natural disasters and the involvement of multiple institutional sectors in crisis response processes. Fragmented governance structures, overlapping institutional responsibilities, and limited interagency coordination often hinder effective disaster management implementation. Collaborative leadership has therefore emerged as an important governance approach for strengthening cross-sectoral policy integration and improving institutional responsiveness during crisis situations. Purpose. This study aimed to examine the role of collaborative leadership in supporting cross-sectoral policy integration within disaster management systems in Indonesia. Method. Qualitative case study methodology was employed through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving governmental agencies, humanitarian organizations, community leaders, and disaster management stakeholders across selected disaster-prone regions. Results. The findings revealed that collaborative leadership significantly improved communication quality, institutional trust, resource coordination, and policy coherence among participating stakeholders. Participatory decision-making, adaptive coordination mechanisms, and transparent communication systems were identified as critical factors supporting effective crisis governance and integrated disaster management implementation. Collaborative leadership additionally strengthened community participation and institutional flexibility during emergency response and recovery processes. Conclusion. This study concludes that collaborative leadership constitutes a strategic governance capacity for enhancing disaster resilience and strengthening integrated crisis management systems in Indonesia. Effective disaster governance therefore requires inclusive coordination structures, adaptive policy integration mechanisms, and sustained interorganizational collaboration across multiple governance sectors.

Abstract

Background. Education in STEM disciplines faces persistent challenges related to engagement, conceptual understanding, and long-term retention, as conventional instructional methods often fail to provide interactive, contextually rich experiences necessary for deep learning. Recent advances in immersive technologies, particularly Virtual Reality (VR), offer the potential to bridge this gap by providing learners with interactive, multisensory environments that enhance understanding and cognitive retention. Purpose. The study aimed to investigate the impact of VR simulations on undergraduate students’ STEM knowledge retention and to identify specific features of immersive pedagogy that contribute to durable learning outcomes, while further seeking to provide actionable guidance for integrating VR into higher education curricula effectively. Method. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 120 undergraduate students divided into an experimental group exposed to VR simulations and a control group receiving conventional instruction. Data collection included pre-tests, immediate post-tests, delayed post-tests, observational records, and platform analytics, which were analyzed using statistical techniques including paired-sample t-tests and ANCOVA to assess the significance and magnitude of learning gains. Results. Results indicated that VR participants achieved significantly higher immediate and delayed post-test scores, particularly on conceptual and application-based items. Engagement metrics and observational data corroborated enhanced cognitive involvement and sustained learning. Conclusion. Findings confirm that immersive pedagogy via VR significantly improves STEM retention and provides a scalable, evidence-based approach for enhancing higher education instruction.

Abstract

Background. Urbanization and industrial activities have increased waste generation, leading to environmental degradation and negative health impacts. Proper waste management in personal and communal spaces is critical for promoting sustainability, reducing pollution, and improving human well-being. Despite awareness campaigns, the adoption of effective waste reduction and recycling practices remains inconsistent, highlighting the need to understand factors influencing individual and community behavior toward waste management. Purpose. This study aimed to explore strategies for reducing waste in living and working spaces and to assess their impact on environmental sustainability and human health. Specifically, it investigated how organized waste management practices, recycling initiatives, and behavioral interventions contribute to creating greener and healthier environments. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys of 350 urban residents, observations of household and office waste management practices, and interviews with sustainability experts. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, while qualitative responses were coded thematically to identify common practices, challenges, and motivators. Results. The findings indicate that consistent waste segregation, adoption of reusable materials, and community-led recycling programs significantly reduce environmental impact and improve perceived cleanliness and health outcomes. Educational interventions and visible waste management infrastructures were positively correlated with higher participation rates. Conclusion. Effective waste management in personal and communal spaces can substantially contribute to environmental sustainability and public health. Policy makers and educators should prioritize awareness campaigns, accessible recycling infrastructure, and behaviorally-informed strategies to enhance waste reduction practices in urban settings.

Abstract

Background. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has transformed the digital information landscape, enabling the creation of highly realistic synthetic media known as deepfakes. Unlike conventional fake news, deepfakes possess the capacity to manipulate audiovisual evidence in ways that challenge public perceptions of authenticity and truth. The growing proliferation of deepfake content has raised significant concerns regarding the credibility of digital journalism, the reliability of information sources, and the erosion of epistemic trust within contemporary communication environments. Purpose. This study aims to examine how the rise of deepfakes contributes to the crisis of epistemic trust in digital journalism and to explore the broader implications of synthetic media for journalistic credibility and public knowledge. Method. A qualitative research design based on a critical literature review and thematic content analysis was employed. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, institutional reports, policy documents, and documented case studies published between 2018 and 2025. Results. Findings reveal that deepfakes undermine trust not only by disseminating deceptive content but also by fostering uncertainty regarding the authenticity of legitimate information. Authenticity ambiguity, verification challenges, audience skepticism, and institutional trust erosion emerged as the dominant themes across the analyzed literature. Conclusion. The study concludes that deepfakes represent a fundamental epistemic challenge that extends beyond misinformation. Preserving trust in digital information ecosystems requires integrated responses involving technological innovation, journalistic verification, media literacy, and governance frameworks.
