Felix Uwitonze — 2024-02-19

This study examined Huguka Radio in Muhanga District in Rwanda to see how radio contributes to socio-economic development. It helped identify Huguka Radio's socio-economic benefits and problems. This research also helped the researcher graduate in Masters in Development Studies. The campaign targeted 250 Huguka Radio listeners, journalists, managers, government officials, civil society organizations (CSOs), and media advocates. Slovin's formula determined a sample size of 75 applicants using purposive or judgmental sampling and simple random sampling. Surveys and interviews were utilised to obtain data from Huguka Radio listeners, staff, government officials, civil society organisations, and media advocates. After discussing the research instruments with the supervisor, the researcher confirmed that the questions and substance were valid. To assess reliability, respondents' answers were tested again. Using percentages and frequencies, SPSS descriptive statistics analysed quantitative data. To analyse qualitative data, content analysis was performed. The poll found that 95.2% of respondents thought that radio helps Rwanda's economy, while 92.1% said Huguka Radio does. In particular, 93.3% of respondents believed Huguka Radio promotes agriculture and farming, 94.9 % human rights, and 84.7 % health. The research also revealed that Huguka Radio promotes socio-economic development through rural forums, accessible language, and community debates. Due to financial constraints, Huguka Radio struggled to promote socioeconomic development. Some respondents noted that this issue limits equipment, professional journalists to work on contract, radio journalists' consistency, and time and area to reach people, especially in rural areas where many Rwandans live. Huguka Radio should collaborate with other broadcasters and keep engaging socio-economic development partners. After this investigation, the researcher suggested other research subjects, including Financial inability of radio and socio-economic growth in Rwanda; and cooperation with government institutions.

Unraveling The Complexity of Urban Vulnerability: Challenges And Strategies In Addressing Social Urban Problem In South Sulawesi

Andi Ahmad Yani — 2024-03-07

Street children, homeless individuals, and beggars are intricate societal issues that predominantly manifest in urban regions, especially the urban areas of South Sulawesi. The South Sulawesi Provincial Government and the district/city governments in urban areas have implemented policies to address the issue of street children, homeless individuals, and beggars. However, these policies have not been effectively implemented and have not had a significant impact on addressing the problem in urban areas of South Sulawesi. The provincial and district/city administrations in South Sulawesi have four problems in addressing this social issue: family dysfunction, program limits, community involvement, and limited institutional capability. In South Sulawesi, the provincial and district/city administrations in metropolitan areas oversee inter-regional coordination plans and implement preventive, curative, and rehabilitative program strategies to address the issue of street children, beggars, and homeless individuals.
