Abstract

Musi River has a strategic role in the regional economic development of South Sumatra since the Sriwijaya Kingdom until the modern era. In addition, the Musi River is the main transportation route in South Sumatra. The river also supports trade, distribution of goods, as well as the development of tourism and culture-based creative economy. This research aims to analyze the role of the Musi River from the perspective of history and geography in supporting the regional economy. This research uses a literature study method with a qualitative descriptive approach to examine various written sources related to the history, transportation, trade, and tourism of the Musi River. Data was collected from journal articles, books, and official photographs to obtain a comprehensive analysis. The results show that the Musi River contributes significantly to domestic and export trade, especially through the Boom Baru port. In addition, the potential for water tourism and cultural festivals supports the development of the creative economy. However, challenges such as sedimentation and infrastructure modernization still need to be addressed. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the sustainable use of the Musi River for South Sumatra's economic growth.

Abstract

This study analyzes Kalasan Temple as a religious and political entity that articulated and mobilized Mahayana Buddhist ideology to bolster dynastic legitimacy during the Śailendra dynasty in eighth-century Java. The study utilizes a historical-archaeological approach, systematically applying heuristics, critical source evaluation, interpretation, and historiography to both primary data, specifically the Kalasan Inscription (778 CE) and the temple’s architectural and ornamental characteristics, as well as secondary scholarship in history, archaeology, and Buddhist studies. This research reinterprets epigraphic and architectural data by contextualizing Kalasan within the broader framework of contemporary Buddhist monuments in Central Java, such as Sari, Plaosan, and the Borobudur complex, to evaluate common ideological patterns and institutional strategies, rather than regarding existing literature as a descriptive authority. The analysis reveals that Kalasan’s establishment as a Bhavanam, bolstered by royal patronage and simā land grants, signifies a purposeful incorporation of Mahayana devotional practices into the political framework of Ancient Mataram. The study demonstrates, through comparative architectural and contextual analysis, that Mahayana Buddhism functioned as both elite religiosity and a legitimizing framework connecting rulers, monastic communities, and society. This article emphasizes methodological rigor and intersite comparison, offering critical insights into the interplay between religious ideology and political authority, demonstrating how sacred architecture actively influenced the development of early Javanese civilization.
