Mapping Communication Priority of Local Government Leaders through Instagram Captions in Publicising Smart City Programmes
Currently, social media is required to inform the public about local government programmes related to smart city. Advances in technology require the government to provide fast, precise and accurate information services. Local government leaders' communication patterns are crucial factors in the successful implementation of the smart city technology. This study aims to map the communication priorities of DKI Jakarta government leaders in publicising the smart city programmes using Instagram. The study, using a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, employs a case study involving an Instagram account owned by Anies Baswedan as the head of the DKI Jakarta regional government, analysing captions posted between February 2019 and February 2020. The ATLAS.Ti program was used for data processing. The study results reveal that the highest priority area for communication regarding the smart city programmes was Smart Economy. Moderate priorities included Smart Living, Smart People, Smart Governance and Smart Mobility. Lastly, Smart Environment had a low priority. This study demonstrates that Instagram can be an effective medium for building interaction between leaders and the community in delivering smart city programmes with balanced communication intensity for each programme. Thus, this study's findings are expected to provide a reference for local government leaders in balancing communication priorities for all smart city programmes.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard was adopted as the guidelines for assessing environmental disclosure. Meanwhile, the evaluated topics are material, energy, water, biodiversity, emissions, effluents and waste, environmental compliance, and supplier environmental assessment. The results showed that manufacturing firms had disclosed environmental information at a moderate level, and the average performance level was relatively low.

The Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountant (IAI) also needs to consider developing a standard for environmental reporting as an integral part of corporate financial reporting

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF WATTPAD AS ONLINE WRITING AND READING APPLICATION TO CUSTOMER INTENTION ON BUYING PRINTED NOVEL
Wattpad is an online website and application designed to publish new user-generated stories for novice authors, which aims at creating social networks around stories for both amateurs and established writers. Wattpad helps aspiring authors find audiences, but it also offers original content to conventional book publishers, advertisers, and film and TV producers, in addition to providing them with real-time insights on the stories and subjects audiences find exciting (Steiner, A, 2017). Since Wattpad's popularity skyrocketed in Indonesia around 2011, the fiction shelves in bookstores in Indonesia are now dominated by books adapted from Wattpad. However, despite the fact that there are a significant number of Wattpad novels in the bookshelf, there rarely is a journal that discusses the relationship between the usage of Wattpad by readers, and their intentions to buy printed Wattpad books, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, this research aims to fill the existing gap. A quantitative survey was conducted among 325 respondents who have used the Wattpad app for at least the last 6 months to meet the objective of the research. As a result, after analyzing both genders of the respondent separately, it is indicated that for females, author familiarity, customer engagement, and perceived value is significantly correlated to consumer purchase intention. It was also found that perceived value is correlated to thestory idea and customer engagement, while the engagement itself could occur depending on how interesting the story ideas, author familiarity, author’s promotion, as well as vote for vote and comment for comment activities. However, the perspective of the male respondent remains unclear because of the limitation of the number of respondents.Keywords: Wattpad Indonesia; Online writing and reading platform; Customer Engagement; Perceived Value; Purchase Intentio
