Abstract

Medan, a prominent multicultural city in Indonesia, has long served as a center of interethnic interactions, tracing back to the Sultanate of Deli and continuing into the modern era. This study investigates how Medan's multicultural life shapes the city’s social identity and examines the contributions of various communities to its social, economic, and cultural dynamics. Employing a qualitative literature analysis, the research explores the experiences and perspectives of Malay, Chinese, Batak, and Indian ethnic groups across domains such as art and economy. Findings reveal that, despite challenges and differences, harmony is maintained through tolerance and respect for cultural diversity. This conclusion underscores the significance of interethnic collaboration in preserving unity amidst diversity as the foundation of Medan’s multicultural existence.

Abstract

The legend of Meriam Puntung is a significant part of the oral tradition among the Malay community, serving as both a historical narrative and a medium for collective memory construction. This study explores how the legend has been transmitted across generations, its role in shaping historical consciousness, and the extent to which it reflects the identity of the Malay people. Using Jan Vansina’s oral tradition theory and Paul Connerton’s theory of collective memory, this research examines the dynamics of storytelling, the transformation of the narrative over time, and its function in preserving historical knowledge. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with cultural figures, textual analysis of historical sources, and field observations at the Meriam Puntung site. The findings reveal that the legend has undergone adaptations, influenced by sociopolitical changes, while maintaining its core symbolism of resistance and local identity. Furthermore, the study highlights how the site itself serves as a tangible anchor for collective remembrance, reinforcing historical continuity. This research contributes to the discourse on the interrelation between oral tradition and historical consciousness, emphasizing the role of storytelling in shaping collective memory and identity formation within the Malay cultural framework.

This study aims to analyze the design and implementation of guide training at the Museum Perkebunan Indonesia I (Musperin I) in Medan and to examine students’ experiences in strengthening their competencies as prospective museum guides. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study method. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with student trainees and instructors, and documentation of training activities. The findings indicate that the guide training program at Musperin I is designed based on a competency-based approach, emphasizing a balance between mastery of plantation history knowledge, communication and interpretation skills, visitor management, and professional ethics. The training experience has a positive impact on improving students’ understanding of local history, storytelling abilities, self-confidence, and professional readiness in guiding museum visitors. Furthermore, the training highlights the role of museums as effective contextual learning spaces that integrate theoretical knowledge with practical guiding experience. Therefore, the guide training program at Musperin I contributes to the development of competent, professional, and adaptive museum guides who are responsive to visitor needs and the dynamics of contemporary museology, while also reinforcing the museum’s role as an educational institution and a center for cultural heritage preservation.
