This systematic literature review explores the application of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model in understanding tourist behavior, focusing on empirical studies from 2019 to 2025. The tourism industry, a key economic driver globally, necessitates a deep understanding of tourist behavior to develop effective marketing strategies and enhance the tourist experience. The SOR model, which examines the impact of external stimuli on tourists' psychological and emotional responses, offers a comprehensive framework for analyzing tourist behavior. This review synthesizes findings from recent studies to highlight how external stimuli such as destination image, social media marketing, and sensory experiences affect tourists' perceptions, motivations, and behaviors, influencing their loyalty and intention to revisit destinations. It also discusses the role of internal factors, including satisfaction, trust, and tourist engagement, in mediating the response to external stimuli. The findings suggest that understanding these dynamics can help destination managers and tourism marketers design more targeted and sustainable marketing strategies. The review also identifies gaps in the current literature and provides recommendations for future research, particularly in the integration of digital technologies and the increasing importance of sustainability in tourism behavior.

Traditional arts as part of cultural heritage face significant challenges in maintaining their relevance amid social and cultural changes. One example is Calung Jinjing, a Sundanese bamboo-based performing art that originated from the creative process of students at Universitas Padjadjaran and later developed into a cultural reference within the wider community. This study examines the implementation of the Three-Act Structure in the scriptwriting process of the feature video “Suara dari Unpad: Jejak Calung Jinjing” as a strategy for conveying cultural messages effectively. The research aims to explain how the Three-Act Structure is applied to organize narrative flow, build emotional engagement, and strengthen the delivery of cultural meanings within a feature video format. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach based on creative practice, supported by field research, observations, interviews with key cultural figures, and analysis of archival materials related to the history and development of Calung Jinjing. The findings indicate that the application of the Three-Act Structure—consisting of the beginning, middle, and ending acts—enables the scriptwriter to construct a coherent and communicative narrative that integrates historical context, cultural dynamics, and contemporary relevance. The structure helps transform research data into a compelling storyline while maintaining factual accuracy and cultural authenticity. This study implies that the Three-Act Structure can serve as an effective narrative framework for scriptwriting in cultural feature videos, particularly in presenting traditional arts as living social phenomena. Furthermore, the findings highlight the strategic role of scriptwriters in bridging cultural heritage and modern audiovisual storytelling.  

This study examines the convergence between classical Islamic philosophy and contemporary digital theory, emphasizing how foundational Islamic concepts can respond to social fragmentation in post-digital Muslim societies. As digital technologies increasingly mediate religious learning, identity formation, and communal interaction, Muslim communities face growing challenges, including the weakening of social bonds and the decentralization of religious authority. Online platforms encourage individualized interpretations of faith and pluralistic expressions of religiosity, which, while expanding participation, often contribute to fragmented identities and diminished communal cohesion.Drawing upon core classical concepts such as ummah (community), akhlaq (ethics), and asabiyya (social solidarity), this research argues that Islamic intellectual heritage offers a normative framework capable of addressing these disruptions. These concepts underscore collective responsibility, moral discipline, and the cultivation of shared values as the foundation of a stable and just society. Using a qualitative approach grounded in textual analysis of classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary digital sociology, the study recontextualizes these principles within present-day digital environments.The findings suggest that adapting traditional values to online engagement can strengthen ethical conduct, mutual accountability, and constructive dialogue in virtual spaces. The notion of a “cyber ummah” further illustrates how transnational digital networks may foster solidarity across geographic and ideological boundaries. Ultimately, this study affirms the continuing relevance of classical Islamic philosophy in guiding the development of an inclusive, morally grounded, and socially cohesive digital society.
