Abstract

The need for transportation in the Cirebon region in the early twentieth century was primarily driven by the limited means of transporting plantation products, particularly sugarcane, to the port as the center of export distribution. At that time, the dominant mode of transport was the railway. Interestingly, since the 1900s Cirebon had two types of rail services, namely conventional trains and trams. Their existence not only accelerated the mobilization of plantation products but also reduced transportation costs, which had previously relied on traditional overland means. The role of the railway was highly significant for the sugar industry, as Cirebon was one of the key regions in the sugarcane plantation network in Java. However, the use of railways was not limited to sugar entrepreneurs. Over time, the railway network also served the mobility needs of the general population, both in terms of passenger transport and the shipment of other trade commodities. This study employs the historical method, which includes the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. This approach allows for a systematic examination of archival records, company reports, and colonial documents related to the dynamics of transportation in Cirebon. The findings reveal that the railway system in Cirebon was not only a vital infrastructure supporting the colonial plantation economy but also transformed into a public facility that accelerated urbanization, expanded local trade networks, and enhanced socio-economic mobility. Therefore, the railway in Cirebon played a dual role: as a key driver of the colonial plantation-based economy and as an instrument of transportation modernization that connected Cirebon with other regions in Java.

Abstract

The cultivation of multicultural values in education has become an urgent necessity amid the increasing diversity of contemporary society. History education holds a strategic role in fostering awareness of cultural, religious, and social diversity within Indonesian society. This article aims to examine how the integration of multicultural values can be implemented through the utilization of local cultural heritage sites, particularly Sambisari Temple, as a contextual learning resource in history education. Employing a literature review approach, this study explores the symbolic, historical, and educational potential of Sambisari Temple as a medium for multicultural value learning. The findings indicate that Sambisari Temple is not only an archaeological legacy of the Ancient Mataram Hindu civilization but also a concrete representation of a social life characterized by tolerance and openness to differences. Through the exploration of the values of diversity embedded in the site, such as architectural diversity, socio-religious functions, and the heterogeneous surrounding community history, teachers can develop contextual learning models that foster empathy, tolerance, and inclusive attitudes among students. Integrating Sambisari Temple into history learning also supports the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the aspects of critical reasoning and global diversity awareness. This article recommends the development of culturally site–based instructional materials as well as teacher training programs to maximize the potential of multicultural education in history classrooms through a locality-based approach. These findings are relevant in addressing the challenges of 21st-century education in shaping citizens who possess historical awareness and multicultural character.
