“…The Human Capital Theory asserts that allocating resources towards enhancing individuals' education and health, commonly called 'human capital', is essential for promoting economic development and reducing poverty (Abdulai et al, 2023;Kataoka & Darangina, 2023). This idea advocates for the direct assistance approach towards the most vulnerable people, highlighting the significance of granting them access to education and healthcare (Allawi & Al-Jazaeri, 2023;Luo et al, 2023).…”

“…Enhancing the capabilities of these platforms can have a crucial impact in spreading information, enlightening the public about important matters, and giving a voice to marginalised people. Media literacy initiatives, local radio stations, and internet platforms can enhance awareness, mobilise resources, and push for legislative reforms that target the underlying factors contributing to poverty (Abdulai et al, 2023;Dahiya et al, 2023). Accordingly, the issue of poverty in North Sumatra and other similar places in Indonesia necessitates a sophisticated and multidimensional approach from experts specialising in development communication.…”

This study investigates the poverty alleviation approach employed by social services in Medan and the influence of remote indigenous community projects. Poverty results in several social and economic issues, underscoring the importance of identifying and implementing effective strategies to alleviate these challenges. This study investigates the impact of moral communication and social support on poverty reduction. It assesses the effectiveness of social support for communities using integrated data on prosperous families (in Bahasa called DTKS). The study employed a descriptive qualitative research methodology. The researchers obtained data by conducting interviews, observations, and analysing documents. Social services employ Islamic communication strategies to address poverty, encompassing various forms of social assistance. Only localities with integrated data on prosperous families can receive this funding. Social services employ this approach to diminish poverty and empower the community. For isolated indigenous tribes, social services extend beyond Islamic communication to implement policies that provide practical vocational training programmes that promote work integration and technical oversight. This study examines the utilisation of Islamic communication and social agencies' assistance to combat poverty. It also provides guidance for policies and activities specifically targeted towards indigenous communities. These discoveries can provide valuable insights for shaping future social service practices and regulations.

Participatory communication will occur if in its implementation it takes into account the characteristics of the community based on their potential and local wisdom. This research examines how participatory communication is implemented in community empowerment programs on the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border. The results of the research explain that community empowerment program communication has not been fully carried out in a participatory manner with dialogue that involves the full support of the community. Government support in building communication participation has been implemented, but not all people at the border can feel it. The characteristics of the community on the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border are relatively low, as can be seen from the low level of education, income level, access to communication and low access to information. Government support has not been optimal in terms of access to information on community empowerment programs at the border.

This study sought to determine the contribution of radio, television and mobile phones used by local communities in disseminating and accessing information about wildfire hazards in the Uluguru Mountains Nature Reserve and assessed the extent of their usage in disseminating wildfire information. It also aimed at identifying barriers to their use in reporting wildfire incidences in the Uluguru Mountains and determined the available wildfire reduction strategies which can be improved by use of other types of ICTs. A descriptive survey method and purposive and conveniently sampling techniques were employed to select a sample of 15 key informants and 90 villagers from the three villages that were purposively selected. Questionnaires, focus group discussions, interview with key informants and participants observations were used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The finding show that the community living around Uluguru Mountains Nature Reserve own Radio and mobile phones although few of them owned televisions. Very few respondents reported wildfire incidence using their mobile phone, while the majority used their mobile phone for other social-economic activities. However, internet based AFIS Meraka system and handheld GPS were the most common technologies used to disseminate wildfire information. In general radio, mobile phones and televisions are not fully beneficial to the local communities. Based on the results, it was recommended that the role of modern ICTs in detecting and disseminating wildfire be encouraged among the authorities.
