Abstract

As Indonesians collectively fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation is simultaneously combatting the rampant spread of misinformation related to COVID-19. This phenomenon is often referred to as an ‘infodemic,’ defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the mass spread of information, factual or nonfactual, during a disease outbreak. In this article, we employ the methods of sociocybernetics analysis to examine the COVID-19 infodemic in Indonesia. We divide this paper into two sections. In the first section, we lay out the current state of the problem in Indonesia -how misinformation has challenged the post-pandemic recovery and changed the dynamics of Indonesian society at all levels, ranging from individuals to the society as-a-whole.  In the second section, we propose a model, based on the approach of sociocybernetics, by which we propose to assess this challenge not just as a single entity but as a continuous, looping process, from the conception to the impact it has caused at all levels (micro, meso, and macro) of society. Given the complexity of this issue, we propose to develop an awareness and the education of cybernetics or systems thinking across multiple sectors when dealing with the infodemic in Indonesia.
在印度尼西亚抗击COVID-19信息大流行:社会控制论的视角
在印尼人共同抗击新冠肺炎疫情的同时,该国也在打击与新冠肺炎有关的错误信息的猖獗传播。这种现象通常被称为“信息流行病”,世界卫生组织(WHO)将其定义为在疾病爆发期间,事实或非事实信息的大规模传播。在本文中,我们采用社会控制论分析的方法来研究印度尼西亚的COVID-19信息大流行。我们将本文分为两部分。在第一部分中,我们阐述了印度尼西亚问题的现状——错误信息如何挑战大流行后的复苏,并改变了从个人到整个社会各个层面的印度尼西亚社会动态。在第二部分中,我们提出了一个基于社会控制论方法的模型,通过该模型,我们建议不仅将这一挑战作为一个单一的实体,而且作为一个连续的、循环的过程来评估,从概念到它在社会各个层面(微观、中观和宏观)造成的影响。鉴于这一问题的复杂性,我们建议在处理印度尼西亚的信息疫情时,在多个部门培养控制论或系统思维的意识和教育。
