This study investigates the predictive relationships between social and psychological factors, namely, family economic education, peer conformity, social media, and adolescent consumer behavior, with lifestyle as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 400 adolescents in Semarang City, Indonesia. The analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM, which is suitable for prediction-oriented models and mediation testing. The results indicate that social media exerts the most decisive influence on adolescents’ lifestyle, significantly affecting consumer behavior. Lifestyle was confirmed as a key mediator, transmitting the influence of all three predictors to actual consumption behavior. Family economic education emerged as the most influential factor in directly shaping rational and responsible consumption behavior, whereas social media was the dominant force in shaping lifestyle patterns. These findings highlight the dual role of socialization agents: media as a digital lifestyle influencer, and the family as a foundational source of economic values and decision-making skills. The study suggests that educational institutions, families, and communities should collaborate to promote financial literacy and responsible lifestyle choices through social media platforms. Moreover, integrating educational influencers should strategically guide youth toward sustainable and informed consumption behaviors.

Amid the expansion of extractive industries that threaten ecosystems and marginalize indigenous communities, the Awyu Tribe in South Papua faces increasing pressure over the ownership and protection of their customary forests. This study aims to explore the ownership conflict of Awyu customary forests, assess the effectiveness of national and international legal frameworks, and evaluate the implementation of state policies in securing indigenous rights and ecological justice. The urgency of this issue lies in the persistent neglect of the Awyu people's legal standing, where regulations often fail to reflect their lived realities and cultural values. Using a normative legal method, the research applies statutory, conceptual, comparative, and case-based approaches, relying on secondary data sourced from literature and analyzed through qualitative-descriptive techniques. Findings indicate that although both national and international law recognize indigenous rights, implementation on the ground is obstructed by bureaucratic inefficiencies and competing economic interests. The principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) is frequently disregarded, resulting in systemic land dispossession and environmental degradation. This research offers a novel perspective by integrating fragmented legal mechanisms into a cohesive approach to indigenous forest protection. As a normative recommendation, the study calls for stronger enforcement of FPIC, institutional reform to reduce regulatory bias, and the meaningful inclusion of indigenous voices in policy formulation and implementation.

Wayang kulit rose and became the prima donna through the play of the character Bagong by Ki Seno Nugroho on social media. This article aims to analyze the role and meaning of Bagong in the play of wayang kulit by Ki Seno Nugroho through a semiotic approach. Ki Seno Nugroho can bring the character of Bagong to life, not only playing a comedic role but also voicing social criticism and the values of people's wisdom. Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method examines data in the form of signs and meanings formed in dialogues, gestures, expressions, and scenes involving Bagong. This method consists of two levels, namely denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (cultural and ideological meaning). The semiotic approach was chosen because of its relevance in unraveling the layers of meaning of a cultural text to reveal deeper cultural and ideological implications as well. The data source was taken from the video documentation of Ki Seno Nugroho's performance on the Dalang Seno YouTube channel with the plays Bagong Ratu and Semar Mbangun Kayangan. The results of the analysis show that (1) Bagong plays a role as a representation of the common people, (2) Bagong serves as a medium of symbolic resistance to social inequality, and (3) Bagong serves as a communicative and entertaining conveyor of local wisdom. This study confirms the position of Punakawan as an important narrative device in the play of Javanese puppetry.
