THE AGE OF ANTHROPOCENE; EMPOWERING THE FUTURE ASIA THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

In the age of Antropocene, human’s activities and decisions have become dominant and powerfull in shaping ecosystem. Asia, with its large population and rapid economic growth, stands at the forefront of this transformation and has become a dominant force that is transforming the Earth's ecosystems significantly. And as the most populated and highest economic growth continent, Asia is now become the center of attention in this context. Many challenges posed by the current Anthropocene epoch require fundamental transformations to humanity's relationships with the rest of the planet

This conference is aimed to strengthen the study of multi-dimensions of empowerment in the context of future Asia facing anthropocene encounters. Our concern is to outlook key issues and to explore various scenarios of solutions on the realm of anthropocene challenges. Firstly is to explore how the impact of anthropocene to ecosystems in Asia, including reduced diversity of natural wealth, climate change, and declining soil quality. Our second concern is about the social and cultural implications of these environmental changes, including poverty, migration, and social inequality. Next, we present an overview of empowerment efforts underway across a range of sectors, from education and technology to public policy and cross-border partnerships

We highlight the importance of cross-sector and cross-disciplinary collaboration in addressing the challenges of the Anthropocene. We emphasize the need for integration between the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities in designing holistic and sustainable solutions. Through this conference, we offer a framework for the future empowerment of Asia that focuses on inclusive, sustainable development, and glorifies cultural and environmental diversity. The conference aims to raise awareness of the importance of awareness of the complexity of the challenges facing Asia in the anthropocene era and the need for bold and purposeful collaborative action towards a better future for the region and the planet more broadly

Concurrently, sustainable development initiatives must integrate efforts across food, energy, and agrarian sectors to ensure long-term resilience. Amidst these dynamics, the rise of digital democracy reshapes political participation and governance paradigms, offering both opportunities and risks. Understanding the nuances of democratic erosion is essential for fostering resilience and initiating renewal processes. Sustainable futures hinge on holistic approaches that address food security, energy access, and agrarian development in tandem, promoting equitable growth while mitigating conflicts. Meanwhile, the advent of digital democracy presents novel avenues for political engagement but also necessitates safeguards against misinformation and digital divides

By navigating these challenges collectively, Asia can chart a path towards inclusive and resilient governance. Integrating insights from democratic governance, sustainable development, and digital transformation, stakeholders can work towards fostering democratic resilience, promoting sustainable development, and harnessing the potential of digital technologies to advance political transformation across the region

Researchers who conduct applied and theoretical studies on this subject and practitioners who produce with digital technologies in all kinds of media are invited to the conference to present their work. The 'Future Media Landscape' concept reflects a forward-looking scientific effort regarding the transformative trajectory of communication forms in the contemporary technological and social environment. The conference is open to all studies of emerging technologies, cultural dynamics, ethical concerns, and the complex relationship between media and democracy. These advances must be evaluated from a technical perspective regarding content creation, dissemination, and audience engagement. Cultural dynamics examine the symbiotic evolution of media and culture as an integral element

Research on this subject aims to create ethical frameworks that enable the conscious integration of emerging technologies into media practices. Similarly, media literacy and education are crucial in envisioning the 'Future Media Landscape'. As technological developments leave traditional education paradigms behind, understanding and improving media literacy is necessary. Scholars should explore strategies to enhance critical thinking, digital literacy, and media education to equip individuals with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of the future media landscape. The conference organized to create an interdisciplinary discussion platform that combines theory and practice within the scope of media studies. It includes research on digital texts produced in all kinds of media

City is the main trace that marks human existence in the anthropocene era. On a global scale, of the world's 5 billion people, 56 per-cents live in urban environments. In Indonesia, the number of urban residents began to continue to grow, leaving the number of villagers to continue to decrease. Activity in urban areas generates 80 percent of the world's economy and uses 70% of the world's energy. The current development of the city of Jakarta, which is projected to become an agglomeration of Jabodetabek and Cianjur, in this context, raises questions about the sustainability and durability of the urban environment and the people living in it. This development raises important discussion themes such as ecological, human, and economic relationships of cities, reflecting the resilience and adaptive capabilities of urban environments in the Anthropocene era. Understanding how the patterns of urban environment development, urbanization, and ecological dynamics will provide insight for urban planning and design that is clouded
