Various studies indicated the need for crisis communications in natural disasters because a disaster can trigger crisis. Disasters that occur in remote areas need a strategised approach and tailored communication plan to suit with the characteristics of the local community. This research uses chaos theory to describe crisis communication and analyses the role of communications during floods in the Klaten region in Indonesia. Flood is often struck in this area. The concepts of chaos theory are analysed during this disaster, such as guidance on the initial conditions, the shock of the situation, the changes of the existing system, and the emergence of a helper. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 informants from residents in two sub-districts of Klaten and 4 staff in the disaster menagement district office Klaten region (BPBD). The results indicated that although the same catastrophic pattern is observed, people still find it shocking everytime. It was also observed that ideas or strategy to deal with the flood are made spontaneously following the disaster, often in an urgent state. The role of the helper is also very memorable for the community. The communication channel used are informal, face to face and utilising traditional channels. The ability of social media has not been employed by the villagers, particularly the older generation, nevertheless the younger generation could still explore this platform during crisis. Future research can evaluate another important field that appears to be important in disaster communication, which is public diplomacy. This hopefully could explore more asumptions of the chaos theory during disaster.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the practice of sensemaking in organizational conflict. It found out that during conflict, the sensemaking process has an important role in influencing the progress of the conflict. A conflict that has been evolving for years is inclined to turn into a crisis. The roles of the organizational and societal culture are therefore very important in KKSH. They do not only determine the communication process of the organizations with its stakeholders, but it also proposes the resolution for the conflict. Methodology: This study was based on a qualitative case study, a one-year research project to examine the crisis com- munication of a family-based organization. In this study, a number of 14 in-depth- interview transcripts were analyzed by using the pattern matching. The unit analysis of this study only used one major instead of using many cases. Results: This study has the advantage in terms of descriptions of the sensemaking process in the crisis caused by an organizational conflict. The findings of this study indicate the significance of cultural elements in the crisis communication caused by conflict among the organizational members. The use of local culture issue, therefore, fulfills the need for the crisis communication research based on the non-western approach. Implications: Therefore, the characteristics of the factors behind the conflict were investigated. Based on the study, it is highly recommended that in determining the solution of internal conflict, all the involved parties should understand the culture of KKSH. It is very important since the culture is already embedded in the attitude and behavior of all internal family members.

PurposeSociocultural aspects of populations residing in disaster-prone areas have not often been discussed in disaster evacuation studies. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to describe the sociocultural factors affecting evacuation decision-making.Design/methodology/approachThis was an exploratory research study which used in-depth semi-structured interviews to collect the data. Selection of the informants was also fulfilled via the purposive sampling method with regard to specific criteria. The informants consisted of 20 villagers that had faced a disaster and eight staff members of the Regional Board of Disaster Management of the Republic of Indonesia which is Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD), Ponorogo, who had managed it. The data analysis was ultimately performed through thematic coding.FindingsThe results of the coding analysis revealed that sociocultural aspects were among the primary reasons for evacuation decisions before disasters. In this paper, sociocultural factors shaping evacuation decision behavior could be a result of norms, roles, language, leadership, rules, habits, jobs, perceptions, family engagement, as well as other behaviors demonstrated by individuals and the community.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is not analyzing the role of the social organization or a religious one and also the economic aspect in the evacuation decision-making.Practical implicationsThis paper includes implications for the local government and the BPBD Ponorogo to establish an efficient communication strategy persuading villagers to evacuate. In general, formal policies cannot always be implemented in managing disaster; therefore, visible dedication and solidarity of the members are always needed in order to manage evacuation problems.Originality/valueThis paper meets needs for a study delineating sociocultural factors affecting evacuation decisions before disasters strike. Sociocultural theory could also describe real aspects of culture inherent in the daily lives of populations living in disaster-prone areas.
Digital technology cannot be dammed or avoided, moreover, the current generation of children is a native digital generation is those who are born very close to the world of digital technology such as smartphones, laptops, digital applications, internet access, and others. This may affect the attitudes and behaviors of children in both positive and negative impacts. However, we can act wisely, not by alienating or avoiding children from technology but by providing education about technology (digital literacy) and directing video game access to positive video games that are beneficial. The method used in this research is Research and Development with a modified SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) development model in the development of Augmented Reality (AR) educational games. This study also uses a pre-test-post-test group matching design to analyze the increase of elementary school students’ knowledge in learning about Indonesian culture. The measurement results of student learning outcomes are carried out by giving tests in the form of multiple choice. The statistical analysis used in this study is the validity test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Validity testing shows 93.33% of the questionnaire items are valid. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test analysis obtained a significant value of 0,00 <0.05, then it was stated that there were differences in the average student learning outcomes for pre-test with posttest (increased). This research concludes that after the use of AR Edugame learning media, it has an influence compared to before learning with the media. This shows there is an increase in student learning outcomes.
