Abstract

This study aims to assess the personal security status and experiences of students from the Bachelor of Japanese Language and Culture Program at Diponegoro University who are participating in an internship program in Japan through the Japan JIPA, using a Human Security approach. Despite Japan's high safety standards, concerns about natural disasters and job-related risks persist. The study employs a questionnaire to collect data from eight interns, referencing the three pillars of Human Security: ‘freedom from fear,’ ‘freedom from want,’ and ‘freedom to live in dignity.‘ Findings indicate that while most students feel safe and have access to healthcare, specific job risks and environmental hazards require attention. Issues such as stress and perceived unfair treatment highlight the need for improved mental support and cultural preparation. Integrating HS principles and emphasizing SDG 4 on quality education are crucial for creating a safe and inclusive internship environment. This research provides insights for enhancing internship programs, ensuring they offer a safe and supportive environment for students.
