Abstract

Abstract: Indonesia’s exceptional biocultural richness has long sustained jamu, a plant-based healing tradition that blends empirical practice with cosmological notions of bodily balance, yet in the twentieth century jamu businesses shifted from household decoctions and itinerant vendors into branded, standardized consumer health products; this article traces that transformation through a historical case study of Tolak Angin (Sido Muncul), arguing that the transition was propelled by commodification of family recipes in the early 1900s, state recognition and regulation that framed jamu as “Indonesia’s original medicine” during the post-independence decades, and late-twentieth-century modernization in technology and marketing that introduced ready-to-drink sachets, GMP/CPOTB compliance, and clinical evidence supporting OHT status while repositioning jamu as hygienic, practical, and urban-friendly; using qualitative historical reconstruction from archival and printed sources with rigorous source criticism and chronological–thematic narration, the study shows how industrialization preserved and re-signified jamu into a hybrid good—simultaneously heritage and modern therapy—delivering market expansion without severing cultural meaning; the findings imply that policy can strategically couple standards, R&D, biodiversity stewardship, and cultural branding to grow domestic and export markets and to uplift producer communities; the article’s novelty lies in its historically grounded synthesis linking technological standardization, state policy, and cultural consumption to explain how a legacy remedy operationalizes Indonesia’s health-heritage economy. Abstrak: Keanekaragaman hayati-budaya Indonesia sejak lama menopang jamu sebagai tradisi penyembuhan nabati yang memadukan praktik empiris dengan gagasan keseimbangan tubuh-alam, namun pada abad ke-20 bisnis jamu bertransformasi dari godokan rumahan dan penjual gendong menjadi produk kesehatan bermerek dan terstandar; artikel ini menelusuri perubahan tersebut melalui studi kasus historis Tolak Angin (Sido Muncul), menunjukkan bahwa peralihan didorong oleh komodifikasi resep keluarga pada awal 1900-an, pengakuan serta regulasi negara yang memosisikan jamu sebagai “Obat Asli Indonesia” pada era pascakemerdekaan, dan modernisasi teknologi-pemasaran akhir abad ke-20 yang menghadirkan sachet siap minum, kepatuhan GMP/CPOTB, serta bukti klinis menuju OHT sembari mereposisikan jamu sebagai higienis, praktis, dan selaras gaya hidup urban; melalui rekonstruksi sejarah kualitatif berbasis arsip dan literatur dengan kritik sumber dan penulisan kronologis-tematis, studi ini memperlihatkan bagaimana industrialisasi melestarikan sekaligus memaknai ulang jamu menjadi komoditas hibrida—warisan budaya sekaligus terapi modern—yang memperluas pasar tanpa memutus makna budaya; implikasinya, kebijakan perlu mengintegrasikan standar mutu, litbang, pelestarian biodiversitas, dan branding budaya untuk memperkuat pasar domestik maupun ekspor serta memberdayakan komunitas produsen; kebaruan artikel terletak pada sintesis historis yang mengaitkan standardisasi teknologi, kebijakan negara, dan konsumsi budaya guna menjelaskan operasionalisasi ekonomi warisan kesehatan Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the history and developmental dynamics of Societeit De Harmonie in Semarang from 1906 to 1990. The primary focus of this study is to analyze the transformation of the building’s function and significance from the colonial era through the post-independence period, specifically when it became the Gedung Rakyat Indonesia Semarang (GRIS). This study employs historical methods, specifically heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, utilizing primary sources such as colonial newspapers accessed via Delpher and national newspapers like Suara Merdeka. The findings reveal that Societeit De Harmonie served as a symbol of exclusivity within the European community and reflected social stratification during the colonial era. In the post-independence era, ownership and function shifted from a private building to a public one that the community could use. Over time, the GRIS building declined due to management conflicts, policy changes, and waning public interest.

Abstract

This article examines the renewal policy of bemo in DKI Jakarta during 1995-1997 and its social impacts on bemo drivers and owners. It addresses two questions: how the policy was implemented and what economic, administrative, operational and social problems emerged during the transition from bemo to Angkutan Pengganti Bemo (APB). This study employs the historical method, consisting of heuristics, source criticsm, interpretation and historiography. Primary sources consist of newspaper archives between 1995 and 1997 and photographic archives from the National Library of Indonesia, supplemented by books, theses and scholarly articles. The findings show that the policy was implemented through the replacement of registered bemo with four wheeled venichles and the regulation APB routes. Its impelentations, however, faced low compensation for old vehicles, cotsly down payments and installments, incomplate vehicle documents, delayed route permits, organizational levies and route conflicts. Consequently, the policy only partially replaced the old fleet and placed small scale drivers and owners in a more vulnerable economic position. The study concludes that transport modernization was not merely a technical policy but also reshaped the livelihoods of informal transport actors.

Abstract

The development of NV. Marba in Semarang during the period 1946–1954 demonstrates a significant transformation in the pattern of Arab-Hadrami capitalism. The company was founded by Arab wholesale entrepreneurs from Surabaya with the support of strong social networks, as a response to post-independence economic constraints and an effort to resist the influence of the Dutch Recomba. This study examines the history of NV. Marba’s establishment and its role in the social and economic life of Semarang, focusing on the characteristics of Arab-Hadrami capitalism amid their position as a second-class group within the colonial stratification system. The research employs historical methods, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, to trace the social networks and business activities of Faradj Martak and his associates. The findings show that NV. Marba was more than a trading office. It played a strategic role in local economic development through kapok trading, export-import activities, and the strengthening of industrial innovation. Socially, NV. Marba contributed through the recruitment of educated workers, sports activities, and participation in charitable initiatives, gaining public recognition. The study concludes that Arab-Hadrami capitalism evolved from simple commercial practices into industrial capitalism that supported economic stability and social sustainability in the post-independence period.
