“…Content and delivery channels must be relevant to the target group and stakeholders (Villar, 2021;Allen, 2015). There is also the significance of communication for development and social change (Servaes & Lie, 2020) and knowledge of new media, especially social media, which plays an important role in ensuring sustainable development (Druzhba & Orekhova, 2022).…”

This study aimed to construct a causal relationship model of factors influencing communication arts students’ qualification for sustainability communication (SC), examine the goodness-of-fit model with empirical data, and analyze the effect size of the causal relationship model in terms of influencing factors. Data were collected from 400 communication arts students using a set of questionnaires rated on a five-point scale. The results were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 and LISREL version 8.80 to determine the causal relationship model. The findings revealed that the construct of the causal relationship model of factors influencing SC of these students comprised four latent variables measured from 12 observed variables. Moreover, the influencing factors were consistent with the empirical data at a good level considering the accordance index, which consisted of x2 = 13.153, df = 25, p-Value = 0.974, RMSEA = 0.000, Standardized RMR = 0.006, GFI = 0.996, and AGFI = 0.979. The causal relationship model of the factors affecting SC revealed that education sustainable development could have direct, indirect, and total effects; the knowledge-based journalist concept could have direct, indirect, and total effects; and communication art principles could have direct and total effects, respectively.

“…Discussion on development communication is normatively about what kind of communication approach is needed to achieve sustainable development (Servaes & Lie, 2020). The key essence of sustainable development itself is to not only meet the present goals of development but also to think about future impacts and generations (Mefalopulos, 2005).…”

This study focuses on development communication in supporting Government’s renewable energy project in Indonesia. Using a case study of the communication in the implementation of a micro-hydro power plant (MHPP) project by Indonesia government, this study examines whether the government’s communication aims to encourage community participation in the project or merely diffuse the innovation for community’s adoption, or combine both approaches. This project was chosen, since this requires more community participation to maintain it as well as sustained communication to facilitate meaningful engagement. Appreciative inquiry involving six focus group discussions and nine in-depth interviews were conducted to explore communities’ experiences in exploiting the MHPP and accompanying communication process. The findings show that project development is divided into five stages: pre-initiation, initiation, adoption, transition and sustainability. Compared to the diffusion and adoption process, this project cycle is comparable to the five stages of the diffusion and adoption process. The information sharing session to introduce the innovation is significant to build awareness among communities. Likewise, the ideas to choose and train communities’ representatives as pioneers to the adoption process help communities gain direct experiences about the use of technology. Nevertheless, the domination of diffusion innovation approach with mechanistic communication that prioritises technological change may lead to a lack of participation and empowerment. Participatory approach that acknowledges local values will likely empower communities and build ownership towards the project.
