However, on the other hand, TikTok raises challenges such as cultural homogenization due to the dominance of global trends, distortion of traditional cultural elements, and the erosion of local values. Through a qualitative approach with literature studies, this study found that TikTok has great potential as a tool for cultural preservation if used wisely. In conclusion, collaboration is needed between content creators, the community, and the government to maintain a balance between preserving local culture and digital modernity.

This study aims to analyze community participation in village development in T’eba Village and T’eba Timur Village, Biboki Tanpah Subdistrict, Timor Tengah Utara Regency, and to identify the factors that hinder it. Village development is one of the key elements in improving community welfare. However, low community participation poses a challenge that hampers the achievement of inclusive and sustainable development goals. T’eba Village exhibits a higher level of community participation compared to T’eba Timur Village, yet both face challenges that affect the success of their development. The research methodology employed is empirical juridical with socio-legal and conceptual approaches. Primary data were obtained through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, while secondary data were sourced from official documents and related literature. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive techniques to interpret the research findings. The results show that community participation in T’eba Village reached 82.61%, whereas in T’eba Timur Village, it was only 30.44%. This disparity is attributed to higher community awareness in T’eba Village and better support from the village government in engaging the community. Factors hindering community participation include educational disparities, a lack of awareness about the importance of village development, economic conditions prioritizing subsistence needs, and community perceptions of the effectiveness of the village government. For example, residents of T’eba Timur Village are less involved because they feel that development programs do not directly benefit their livelihoods, particularly in agriculture, which is their primary occupation. This study recommends enhancing community involvement through education, economic empowerment, and strengthening the capacity of village governments to create inclusive and transparent participatory mechanisms. Moreover, it emphasizes the need for coordination between the community and village governments to formulate development policies that are more responsive to local needs. With this approach, village development can become more relevant, sustainable, and impactful for the community.

This journal aims to explore the contextualization of theology in the development of the church in East Asia, focusing on the interaction between the teachings of the gospel and local traditional belief systems. The approach used in this study is a qualitative method. The findings of this study show that churches in East Asia attempt to integrate fundamental Christian teachings and adapt to local cultural needs and customs. The research found that despite efforts to create worship that is more relevant to local cultures, churches are still careful not to mix Christian teachings with traditions that could undermine the core teachings of the faith. In addition, the research also found that there is a difficulty in finding a balance between liturgical innovation and maintaining the holiness of Christian teachings. Too much adaptation to local cultural elements can lead to a loss of authentic Christian identity, while too little adaptation can make Christianity difficult to be accepted by society. To deal with this kind of conflict, churches in East Asia have endeavored to develop theologies rooted in their local traditions. In this way, churches in East Asia seek to create a deeper understanding of how the gospel can interact with the social, cultural and spiritual needs of local communities. One of the important findings of this study is also the importance of active congregational participation in the contextualization process. This congregational participation and diologetics help local churches to be more sensitive to existing social and cultural dynamics, as well as make a greater contribution in determining relevant forms of worship and teaching. This includes the avoidance of practices that could lead to syncretism, i.e. the mixing of Christian teachings with traditional elements that are contrary to the Christian faith.
