Abstract

This study explores the process of gambling legalization in the city of Semarang during the period from 1970 to 1993. The background of the research lies in the contradiction between the moral and legal prohibition of gambling and the reality of government policies that legalized such practices in the form of prize lotteries. The aim of this study is to understand the socio-political dynamics behind the legalization of gambling and its impact on urban society in Semarang. The research adopts a historical method, which includes the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Primary sources consist of local newspapers and legislative regulations. The findings reveal that the legalization of gambling was a state strategy to raise public funds for development while simultaneously attempting to control illegal gambling activities. On the other hand, the policy also illustrates how the state compromised social norms in pursuit of economic interests and political stability. The conclusion of this study is that the legalization of gambling in Semarang was not merely a response to fiscal needs, but also a reflection of the power relations between the state and society during the new order era.

Abstract

This study examines the plague outbreak that struck the Tegal region between 1927 and 1935, focusing on its transmission routes, the response of the colonial government, and the participation of the local community. Employing historical methods comprising heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography this research presents a historical narrative that identifies ports and railway lines as primary factors in the spread of the disease. Unsanitary environmental conditions and the limited number of healthcare personnel further accelerated the outbreak. The colonial government's policies indicate that significant progress in managing the epidemic was achieved after 1934, marked by improved healthcare services and vaccination efforts. This study affirms that the successful containment of the outbreak depended on the integration of public health policies, active community involvement, and adequate infrastructure readiness. This study aims to identify the routes and causes of the spread of the plague in Tegal, as well as the mitigation efforts carried out by the Government at that time. Furthermore, this research is important as a reference for educating healthcare professionals and the general public today about plague outbreaks caused by rat fleas.

Abstract

This study discusses the Lamongan flood disaster in 1968, which was the largest disaster in the history of Lamongan Regency. This event had a huge impact on the people of Lamongan, both in terms of material and non-material losses. This study aims to determine the impacts and forms of cooperation between elements of society in dealing with the 1968 flood disaster. This study uses historical methods consisting of heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, supported by the availability of adequate primary sources through newspapers. The results of the study reveal that the floods that hit the Lamongan area demonstrated the resilience of the community through mutual cooperation, independent resource management, and seeking assistance from surrounding areas. These findings illustrate how social solidarity and community strength were the main factors that supported their resilience in the midst of extreme environmental pressures.

Abstract

This study examines how the political images of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates were shaped during the first round of the 2004 presidential election, as reflected in the coverage of the Suara Merdeka newspaper in Semarang City. The 2004 election marked an important stage in the development of Indonesian democracy, as it was the first time the president and vice-president were chosen directly by the public. As a result, newspapers became a key tool for political communication. The main source of information for this study is the Suara Merdeka newspaper during the 2004 election campaign, supported by references from books and academic articles. The research reveals that Suara Merdeka did more than just report news—it actively influenced the public perception of the candidates by selecting specific issues, determining how often they were covered, and highlighting certain symbols. Therefore, newspapers played an important role in shaping how the public understood the political competition during this period of democratic change.
