This study analyzes the Public Relations communication strategy of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Daerah Operasi 8 Surabaya in socializing the Access by KAI digital application to the Surabaya community. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with PR staff and Railfans Surabaya community members, participatory observation of socialization activities, and documentation of digital publications. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The findings reveal that PR communication strategies are implemented through a synergy of push communication, pull communication, and pass communication, supported by Two-Way Symmetrical Communication principles developed by Grunig and Hunt (1984). Push communication disseminates official information via social media platforms; pull communication attracts audiences through visually compelling and educational content; while pass communication emphasizes two-way engagement that builds public trust and loyalty. The study demonstrates that public engagement, interactive dialogue, and message adaptation to local audience characteristics positively contribute to increasing public understanding and acceptance of the Access by KAI application. The integration of these three strategies creates a holistic communication ecosystem that effectively bridges the gap between digital innovation and user behavior. Future research is recommended to examine similar strategies in other operational regions or employ quantitative approaches to measure adoption levels.

Film is a communication medium capable of conveying moral messages to the public through a series of moving images, usually accompanied by sound. One such medium is the short film. "The waiting room" by Galih Firdaus, a production of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) released in April 2024 and received positive acclaim for its engaging plot and relevance to the audience's reality. This study aims to analyze the moral message in the film using Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic theory, which emphasizes three main elements: Representation, Object, and Interpretant. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method to uncover the moral meanings behind the film's scenes. The results found 15 scenes that explicitly convey moral values, including the importance of open communication within the family, the meaning of simple kindness, valuing togetherness, the commitment of true love, a mother's fortitude, loyalty in waiting, and sincere care. The moral message is constructed through Representation (physical signs such as a bowl of soto), Object (the reality conveyed, such as an apology), and Interpretant (the audience's understanding that the soto symbolizes improving relationships). In conclusion, the film "The waiting room" successfully conveys a strong moral message through a neatly structured narrative.

Theft of railroad rails in South Lampung is a crime that threatens the safety of transportation and public services. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause this crime and examine the prevention efforts that have been made. The method used is an empirical approach through literature studies and interviews with the police, perpetrators of crime, and academics. The results of the study show that theft is triggered by socio-economic factors such as poverty, unemployment, lack of family supervision, and negative social environmental influences. Lack of legal understanding and easy access to crime information also worsen the situation. Prevention efforts are carried out through three approaches: pre-emptive (legal education and social development), preventive (supervision and protection of infrastructure), and repressive (law enforcement). Collaboration between the community and law enforcement officers is the main key to preventing and overcoming this crime in a sustainable manner.
