Abstract

This study aims to examine the process and impact of marginalization on informal activities of Bangkok chicken trading and cockfighting following the revitalization of Kota Lama Semarang. The research employs historical methods, with source verification and analysis utilizing contemporary images as visual sources. Data were collected through articles, books, local government regulations, interviews, and direct observation. The findings reveal that the pattern of Bangkok chicken trading and cockfighting activities in Kota Lama Semarang has been marginalized due to a revitalization process that prioritizes aesthetics and tourism, resulting in physical, representational, and social marginalization of informal actors. The implication is that revitalization projects cannot rely solely on architectural and urban planning approaches but must also consider socio-cultural aspects and the economic sustainability of vulnerable groups. Therefore, it is recommended that the government design more inclusive policies by involving local communities and providing alternative spaces for informal activities to prevent social inequality. Keywords: Bangkok Chicken Trade and Cockfighting, Informal Activities, Marginalization, Old Town of Semarang, Revitalization.

Abstract

The global economic depression of the 1930s, which also rocked the Dutch East Indies, had a significant impact on the colonial economic structure, particularly on the plantation sector and the sugar industry, the mainstay of the Javanese economy. In the Banyumas Residency area, this situation was marked by declining production and rising unemployment. Amidst these unstable economic conditions, the Davos Factory in Purbalingga was able to survive and maintain its business continuity. This study aims to examine the background to the establishment of the Davos Factory in the context of the economic depression, analyze its existence during the period 1931–1939, and identify factors that supported its resilience. This study uses a historical method that includes heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Research sources were obtained from colonial archives, contemporary newspapers, company documents, and interviews with historical witnesses. The results of the study indicate that the sustainability of the Davos Factory was supported by adaptation strategies through product diversification, consistency in maintaining quality and taste identity, adjusting production scale to market conditions, and strengthening internal social networks through a hereditary labor recruitment system. The Davos factory also served as an economic pillar for the surrounding community. These findings demonstrate that small-scale local industries had sufficient capacity to survive the pressures of the colonial economy.

Abstract

This study examines the inter-ethnic conflict in Kudus in 1918, which led to the exodus of ethnic Chinese to Semarang. The research focuses on the factors causing the conflict, the dynamics of the riots, and the socio-economic implications of the migration. The research employs historical methods through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Primary sources include contemporary newspapers such as De Preanger Bode, De Indier, De Locomotief, Dagblad van Zuid Holland en ’s Gravenhage, and Het Nieuws van den Dag voor Nederlandsch-Indie, supported by secondary sources from scholarly literature. The results indicate that the conflict was not caused by a single factor, but by the accumulation of socio-economic tensions, social segregation, and sensitivities over ethnic and religious identities. Competition in strategic economic sectors such as the kretek (cigarette) industry and trade intensified intergroup prejudice, which was then fueled by symbolic incidents in the public sphere. The riots that occurred on October 31, 1918, caused extensive damage, loss of life, and insecurity, prompting much of the Chinese community to leave Kudus. The exodus to Semarang is understood as a rational strategy to secure security and restore socio-economic life through stronger community networks. This movement also demonstrates that migration in conflict situations is a form of structured social adaptation. Thus, this study confirms that communal conflict not only results in physical violence but also drives demographic, social, and economic changes with long-term impacts.

Abstract

This study examines the decline in cinema attendance in Semarang City between 1979 and 1996 in relation to social, economic, and cultural changes in urban society. The study aims to describe the conditions of Semarang society during this period and to analyze the decline in cinema attendance and the factors contributing to it. The study employed historical methods, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data sources included statistics from the Central Java Statistics Agency (BPS), contemporary newspaper archives, and interviews with informants who were involved in or experienced the cinema industry firsthand in Semarang. The results show that although the number of cinemas in Semarang continued to increase from the late 1970s to the 1980s, the number of cinemagoers tended to decline. In the 1980s, the average number of cinemagoers reached around four million per year, but in the 1990s, this number dropped drastically to around four hundred thousand per year. Various factors, such as advances in audio-visual technology, the rise of television and VCDs, the high circulation of pirated VCDs, high ticket prices, and inadequate facilities at traditional cinemas, influenced this decline. Furthermore, the dominance of modern cineplexes in the distribution of imported films and the declining appeal of national films also weakened the position of local cinemas. This situation was further exacerbated by high entertainment taxes and the 1997–1998 monetary crisis, which reduced public purchasing power. As a result, several traditional cinemas in Semarang were forced to close due to continued losses. This research shows that the decline of cinemas in Semarang is the result of changes in technology, the economy, and public entertainment consumption patterns, which have transformed cinemas' role as public entertainment spaces.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the architectural characteristics, spatial organization, and ornamental features of four ancient Chinese temples located in the Old Chinatown area of Semarang, and to analyze their symbolic meanings as a basis for formulating the potential of these temples as an area-based historical tourism narrative. The research adopts a qualitative cultural-arts approach through field observation, semi-structured interviews, and literature review focusing on architecture, ornaments, symbols, and the social functions of the temples, supported by descriptive–comparative analysis and data triangulation. The results show that all four temples share a simple spatial configuration consisting of a front veranda and a main worship hall, a predominance of wooden construction, and a rich repertoire of ornaments featuring mythological fauna, flora, and cosmological symbols, with red and gold as dominant colors representing prosperity and balance. The findings confirm that the temples function not only as places of worship but also as living heritage that embodies history, identity, and the collective memory of the Chinese community in the Old Chinatown area. The implications of this study indicate that these ancient temples have strong potential to be developed as area-based heritage religious tourism assets, provided that their sacred values, symbolic meanings, and the central role of the local community in management and interpretation are consistently maintained.
