This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Facebook and Instagram as public relations communication tools at MI Darun Najah Srobyong, Jepara. A qualitative approach was employed using observation, in-depth interviews with the public relations team, teachers, parents, and community leaders, as well as documentation analysis. The findings indicate that both platforms have contributed to improving information transparency, community engagement, and the school's public image. However, several challenges were identified, including limited human resources and digital literacy gaps among parents. The study recommends content management training, digital literacy programs, and enhanced two-way interaction to optimize the role of social media in elementary school communication strategies.

Social fragmentation within community organizations in Kampung Bojong, Bojongsari Village, Kedungwaringin Subdistrict, Bekasi Regency, has led to social polarization that hinders community cohesion and inclusive participation. This study aims to formulate strategies for strengthening collaboration to build inclusive and equitable organizations. The method used is a qualitative approach with a participatory case study design. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and focused group discussions (FGDs), using purposive sampling techniques. Analysis was conducted thematically, and validity was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The results indicate that social polarization encompasses aspects of power, age, politics, economics, geography, and symbolism, reflected in exclusion, information inequality, and weak communication. Factors contributing to low collaboration include lack of trust, dominance of central figures, and limited member capacity. Interventions were implemented through a community-based action research model involving dialogue facilitation, collaborative training, and organizational strategy mentoring. Evaluations showed increased cross-group participation, the formation of communication forums, and reduced social tension. This study contributes practically and theoretically to building resilient organizations through participatory and transformative approaches.
