Demonstrating attentive behavior when users decide to share information on social media is vital. Such attentiveness helps users more effectively identify misinformation, allowing them to avoid being misled by hidden deceptive content. The rapid increase of information in online media today means that the dissemination of misinformation can have serious negative consequences, such as threatening political stability and democracy, which can lead to societal divisions. While many studies have investigated the traceability and prediction of misinformation spread, additional research is necessary to understand and prevent the disruptions in human attention that contribute to this issue. This leads to questions about how technological interventions can enhance user awareness during the decision-making process of sharing information, especially to promote honest and constructive communication in a democratic context. The objective of this research is to examine and intervene in the factors of user attention when sharing information online, particularly regarding communication and democratic participation in Indonesia. This study employs a mixed-methods design, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches. It is structured into two phases: Study 1 involves an investigation into the importance of attention factors in social media sharing through a self-report survey with adult participants from Palembang. Additionally, in Study 2, we designed and tested a Visual Selective Attention System (VSAS) using a Sociotechnical Design approach to influence decision-making by implementing an attention-focused design. We hope that the future development of interactions within a VSAS-based social media application will yield sustainable insights that encourage a non-coercive approach to managing the sharing of misinformation, thereby supporting transparent and fair communication and democratic participation (LUBER and JURDIL) in Indonesia.

More than just selling, a city must be constructed as an image formation process, which is formed from a mental map created by local people that produces an original identity to make a good branding. This research aims to reveal a new element of city identity and produce a mapping process of forming a strong city identity based on the advantages of the city that can be used in perfecting the concept of city branding.

These elements also become the identity of Palembang and can be one of the elements to construct a concept of city branding. The research’s state-of-the-art findings are the new element to constructing the city identity of Palembang by revealing the role of the new element of city identity construction.

This study obtains an overview of the conditions of the encryption email management workflow among local governments in South Sumatra. The workflow for managing email encryption for regular official news has been going very well. Meanwhile, the workflow for managing encryption of emails for confidential news is still experiencing problems, especially for local governments that do not have cipher expert personnel and official cipher equipment from the BSSN. In addition, this study also illustrates that the application of information security theory in the use of encrypted emails for confidential news between local governments in South Sumatra is not optimal. The main obstacle faced is that there are still local governments that do not have cipher expert personnel and official cipher equipment from the BSSN. The quality of the workflow is measured by looking at the fulfillment of the main elements contained in the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) of the encryption email management workflow. The quality of using email encryption for information security is carried out by analyzing the fulfillment of the elements contained in the information security theory.

In the world of digital age world now a days, social change can be defined as an ongoing process that is very spontaneous and directed. The Communication Model for Social Change is limited to how social change can occur through a process of community dialogue that leads to collective actions that affect public welfare in general. As we have experienced, in various fields such as politics, environment, health, and even sports, there are also changes, especially when viewed from the side of communication.
