Local culture is an important part of a region’s identity that must be preserved, especially amid the growing tide of globalization. The spread of globalization and the influx of foreign cultures can influence the lifestyles of the younger generation, which in turn leads to a decline in interest in local culture. This phenomenon is also occurring in the city of Cirebon, where young people aged 20–25 currently show little interest in local cultures such as sintren or tarling and prefer foreign cultures like K-Pop. The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies and effectiveness of policies implemented by the Cirebon City Department of Culture and Tourism in addressing the low interest among young people in this age group. This study employs a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. The analysis is based on policy effectiveness theory. The results indicate that the policies implemented by the department have had a positive impact, as many young people are now interested in learning about local culture; however, several challenges remain, such as budget constraints and the strong influence of foreign culture on the younger generation. The conclusion of this study indicates that the strategies implemented have yielded positive results in increasing the younger generation’s interest in local culture; however, digital-based policy innovations and stronger collaboration with the younger generation are needed so that efforts to preserve local culture can be carried out more effectively.

The Legal Aid Center was established pursuant to Law Number 16 of 2011 on Legal Aid in Indonesia; in its operations, the Legal Aid Center Adheres to this law to assist the public in accessing legal aid services—specifically, the Legal Aid Center in Pulasaren Subdistrict, Cirebon City. This initiative was undertaken by the Cirebon City government to assist resident facing legal issues arising from problems in their neighborhoods and/or communities. This study was conducted to examine the services provided by the Legal Aid Center in Pulasaren Subdistrict, Cirebon City—from the bureaucratic application process to the responses from the relevant authorities—with the aim of ensuring equal acces to justice in public services. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, involving, the collection of documents, interviews with paralegals, representatives of the Cirebon City Legal Documents and Information Network (JDIH)—which serves as the Cirebon City Legal Entity—residents of Pulasaren as respondents, and field observations at the research site. The result of the study indicate that the management of Legal Aid Center services in Pulasaren Village is not yet fully independent because it relies heavily on the Cirebon City Legal Entity and expert in the field, lacks adequate facilities, and suffers from a lack of capacity building provided by the Cirebon City Legal Entity to Paralegals—who serve as advocates at the village/subdistrict level—which hinders the resolution of reported cases. Nevertheless, the Legal Aid Center in Pulasaren Subdistrict continues to provide services in the form of legal information on basic legal knowledge, meditation, consultations, and legal referrals, particularly to underprivileged individuals and those with limited legal knowledge.

The emergence of the social media platform X has also transformed the way people understand and interpret the social reality around them. Through the use of hashtags on X, individuals not only share information but also convey their experiences and perspectives. Hashtags have become a vital tool for bringing people together and sparking discussions on specific topics. The hashtag #Indonesiagelap emerged as a protest against public dissatisfaction with the government, which is perceived as leading Indonesia’s future into “darkness” due to a series of controversial government policies and a deteriorating national economy. This study aims to conduct a Critical Discourse Analysis of the hashtag #Indonesiagelap to examine the meanings it conveys to other users on the X platform. This study employs a qualitative approach using the phenomenological method. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews with three informants who engage with the #Indonesiagelap hashtag, and supporting documentation. Data analysis is conducted descriptively through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the hashtag #Indonesiagelap is interpreted by X users as a symbol of collective criticism and disappointment regarding the prevailing socio-political conditions. Based on textual practices, discourse, and the underlying social context, this hashtag serves not merely as an indicator of an issue but also as a communication tool capable of fostering a shared understanding of meaning and cultivating critical awareness among X users
