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.
