Abstract

Radiological security is vital for national safety in Indonesia, a nation with a diverse and dynamic population of 278.69 million. Effective communication is crucial in addressing the unique challenges of disseminating radiological security information across diverse demographics. This study explores the potential of social media to enhance awareness of radiological security among Indonesians aged 15 to 64. Using surveys via social media will assess respondents' demographics, knowledge, education, preferred information sources, and concerns about radiological security. The findings aim to guide the strategic use of social media in raising radiological security awareness, offering insights for tailored communication strategies that consider Indonesia's cultural, linguistic, and generational diversity. An adaptive feedback loop will ensure continuous refinement of these strategies, supporting practitioners, policymakers, and communicators in effectively safeguarding the nation against radiological threats.
