Abstract

This research aims to reveal the living conditions of the Sibolga community during the monetary crisis that hit Indonesia in 1998. This period also marked a fundamental change from the Suharto regime (new order) to the reformation period. This research seeks to reveal the economic conditions of the community before the monetary crisis, the survival strategies of the community when the monetary crisis hit, and the impact of the crisis on the economy of the Sibolga community. This research uses the historical method with four phases: heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. Information was obtained from interviews, official government documents, newspapers, research reports and books. The results showed that the economic conditions of the Sibolga community during the monetary crisis experienced a decline, while the prices of basic goods continued to increase, so that people could not fulfil their basic needs because people's purchasing power decreased. In this situation, the community of Sibolga tried to find additional work, because they could not rely on just one main job whose results were insufficient for their needs. In addition, the city government also provides staple food assistance and education funding for those who are struggling.

Abstract

This research examines the history of the Nederlandsch-Indische Gas-Maatschappij (NIGM) in Medan between 1919 and 1950. The focus of this study is to explore various important aspects of NIGM and its development in Medan during that period. NIGM was a private institution that played a significant role in the commercialization of gas and electricity in the Dutch East Indies. The main focus of this research is to trace the development of NIGM’s activities in the municipality Gemeente of Medan, including the process of concession applications, the expansion of company units, and the evolution of its marketing strategies. The primary objective of the study is to follow the company’s trajectory in Medan and its surrounding areas, from the initial concession period to 1950, when the company was renamed Gas-Overzeese Maatschappij (OGEM). This study employs the historical method with a chronological approach, drawing on primary sources such as company archives, NIGM’s annual reports, and colonial government regulations. The findings show that NIGM was a major company that commercialized gas and electricity for both the government and the public in Medan. Initially, NIGM succeeded as a lighting provider in Batavia at the end of the 19th century. It later expanded its concessions to nearby cities and eventually to Medan and its surroundings. However, the company’s expansion was not without challenges, including conflicts of interest with local authorities as well as technical and economic difficulties. The study concludes that NIGM’s history forms an essential part of the long development of electrification and modernization in the Dutch East Indies, particularly in Medan—a legacy that persists to this day. The company serves as a representation of how colonial private enterprises contributed to shaping the urban landscape and daily life during the late colonial era.
