Abstract

This article examines the impact of the sign system on community communication at the sub-district level. It focuses on its role in enhancing public engagement and information dissemination. The study assesses the effectiveness of various types of signage in fostering community involvement and supporting decision-making processes. This evaluation is accomplished by thoroughly examining secondary data acquired from various sources. In accordance with the findings, well-designed signage not only enhances the accessibility of information and the level of community engagement, but also assists in strengthening the identity of the local community as well as assisting in successfully navigating and managing public places. The research highlights the importance of incorporating cultural elements and local language into signage design to foster a sense of belonging and improve communication within communities. It is, therefore, crucial that the authorities of the sub-district give the greatest attention to the process of developing and implementing comprehensive signs system plans.
