This study aims to explore the application of local wisdom as a communication strategy of informal leaders in rural areas in Pangalengan, West Java, Indonesia, as a case example. Data were collected quantitatively through questionnaires distributed to the Pangalengan community who live in the perimeter of the location of a multinational company and qualitatively through focus group discussions (FGD), in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and field observations. The data obtained were then analyzed using ethnographic social research methods. The results show that the use of local wisdom, i.e., local language and culture, has proven to be effective as a communication strategy that connects multinational companies with the rural communities. This study has revealed that rural communities in West Java deem the existence of multinational companies beneficial to their life. The same communities, however, are found to be resistant to foreign cultures introduced by multinational companies. The role of informal leaders (religious, community, youth leaders) has proven effective in intermediating the wishes of the company and those of the community through constructive communication, i.e., intercultural communication that channels the local wisdom embraced by the community to the employers and employees of the company.

The Ranah Minang Silokek Geopark (RMSG) in West Sumatra is a designated Indonesian National Geopark aspiring for UNESCO Global Geopark status. This study provides a preliminary qualitative inventory of its geodiversity to evaluate its international significance, scientific value, and educational value. Based on literature synthesis and field investigations at 14 representative geosites, we characterize the lithological, stratigraphic, and geomorphological diversity. The results reveal an exceptional geological record spanning nearly 300 million years, from the Carboniferous–Permian to the Neogene. The geodiversity comprises a complete rock spectrum (sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic), including Paleozoic limestones, Triassic granitoid intrusions, and Cenozoic sedimentary basin deposits. Geomorphological features are equally varied, encompassing extensive karst landscapes, structurally controlled fluvial systems, and tectonic landforms. This remarkable assemblage of geological features provides a coherent narrative of West Sumatra’s evolution, from its origins as part of the Gondwana, through Mesozoic tectonic amalgamation and magmatism, to Cenozoic basin development associated with the Sunda Arc subduction system. The high geodiversity of RMSG not only underscores its potential for international recognition but also offers significant opportunities for geotourism and geo-education, presenting a natural laboratory for understanding the complex geological history of Southeast Asia.
