Yupa: Historical Studies Journal publishes articles for four aspects below. Historiography means the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particular details from the authentic materials in those sources, and the synthesis of those details into a narrative that stands the test of critical examination. Historiography studies cover chronologically various themes, such as local history, social history, cultural history, economic history, political history, military history, intellectual history, environmental history, and other historical studies. Philosophy of history, the study either of the historical process and its development or of the methods used by historians to understand their material. History of education is a study of the past that focuses on educational issues. These include education systems, institutions, theories, themes, and other related phenomena in the past. History education includes studies of how history teaches in school or society, curriculum, educational values in events, figures, and historical heritage, media and sources of historical learning, history teachers, and studies of textbooks.

Abstract

This article examines an overlooked consequence of the Round Table Conference: the adoption and later decline of Indonesian citizenship among the Javanese-Surinamese community from 1949 to 1975. In the early post-sovereignty years, many Javanese-Surinamese chose Indonesian nationality because they imagined Indonesia as their ancestral homeland and expected attention from the new state. Using the historical method of topic selection, heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, the study draws on newspapers, sociological works, and related historical literature. The findings show that Indonesia did not ignore the community, as seen in the establishment of its representation in Paramaribo in 1951. However, the Javanese-Surinamese were never a major priority in Indonesia’s early postcolonial agenda. As Indonesian domestic and foreign priorities shifted and Surinamese integration deepened, enthusiasm for Indonesian citizenship steadily weakened.

Abstract

Water transport once played a central role in Samarinda when road connectivity was still limited, especially before the construction of the Mahakam Bridge. This study examines the transformation from water to land transportation in Samarinda during 1980–1998 using the historical method through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings show that the bridge, together with expanding road infrastructure and transport technology, made land travel faster and more efficient than river modes such as ferries, tambangan, and klotok. As a result, everyday mobility shifted toward land routes, river transport patronage declined, and the income of boat operators decreased. The case demonstrates how urban infrastructure reconfigured accessibility, travel behavior, and the socio-economic position of traditional river transport.

Abstract

This article examines the historical formation and strengthening of economic and political oligarchy in rural Java during the New Order within the framework of state capitalism. Using a critical historical approach, it analyzes historical literature, scholarly articles, and contemporary news through heuristic, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The study shows that New Order development policies, especially the Green Revolution and village standardization under Law No. 5 of 1979, turned villages into political and economic instruments of the state. Village elites acted as intermediaries between state interests and capital, producing oligarchic structures at the local level. This article argues that oligarchy in rural Java was historically shaped through development policy, capital penetration, and village power restructuring, thereby contributing to the historiography of rural political history in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines the management dynamics of Pandeglang Hospital from 1925 to 1935 in the context of changing colonial health policy in the Dutch East Indies. The study applies the historical method through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography using colonial health reports, government regulations, and supporting literature. The findings show that institutional change from a military-oriented system to civilian health services shaped administrative standardization, patient classification, subsidy mechanisms, and medical supervision at Pandeglang Hospital. The hospital became important in handling endemic disease, serving as a regional referral center, and strengthening local medical personnel, yet its impact on mortality remained limited because poverty, poor sanitation, and the global economic crisis constrained colonial medical intervention. This case highlights how colonial health policy was implemented unevenly at the local level.

Abstract

This article examines the emergence and development of gold mining in Boh River, Mahakam Ulu Regency, from 2007 to 2021. Using the historical method through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, the study draws on interviews, field observation, and secondary materials such as books, legal documents, journals, and archival or documentary sources available to the author. The findings show that gold mining in Boh River emerged from the convergence of alluvial resource potential, limited local employment, community livelihood strategies, and collective mining practices. Its development was marked by a gradual shift from panning with a dulang to machine-assisted extraction using pumps, compressors, and river transport. This technological change reshaped labor relations among miners, workers, capital owners, and gold collectors. Although mining activities faced legal uncertainty and occupational risk, they persisted because they offered a more immediate source of income than other rural livelihoods. The article contributes to local economic history by showing how small-scale mining transformed work, mobility, and social status in an upriver Kalimantan community.

Abstract

This study examines the design and feasibility of Historia Card, a card-based instructional medium for learning Indonesian national disintegration in senior high school history education. The problem addressed is the tendency of history lessons on conflict, integration, and national cohesion to be delivered through verbal explanation, which limits students’ contextual understanding and classroom participation. Using qualitative design research, the study involved needs analysis, prototype design, expert review, revision, and feasibility evaluation through interviews, classroom observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings indicate that teachers and students required a practical, visual, and discussion-oriented medium that could organize historical events, actors, causes, consequences, and values of national integration. Historia Card was therefore designed as a quartet-card medium combining concise historical information, visual cues, categorization tasks, and collaborative play. Expert validation and user responses showed that the medium was very feasible, practical, and engaging. The study contributes to history education by demonstrating how non-digital game-based media can support contextual historical understanding while remaining accessible for classroom use.

Abstract

This article examines Hoesein Djadjadiningrat’s intellectual contribution to the development of modern historiography in Indonesia between 1911 and 1935. It focuses on the formation of his thought, especially the historical methods that emerged through his works and that contributed to Indonesian historical scholarship. Using historical method—heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography—this study analyzes Hoesein’s writings, scholarly speeches, and relevant secondary literature. The main primary sources include Hoesein’s works from 1911 to 1935, especially Critische Beschouwing van de Sadjarah Banten. The study shows that Hoesein’s thought was shaped by social and intellectual factors, including the influence of Snouck Hurgronje and the Western orientalist tradition. However, Hoesein did not merely reproduce orientalist discourse; as a colonial subject, he reinterpreted historical knowledge through a local perspective. His works therefore mark an important moment in the emergence of modern Indonesian historiography based on source criticism, philological rigor, and historical method.

Abstract

This article explores the revitalized Willem I Fort as an “Open History Laboratory” to support contextual history learning. Visiting historical buildings in person can help students understand history lessons empirically. The purpose of this study is to analyze the fort’s historical potential and formulate strategies for utilizing Willem I Fort as a dynamic contextual learning resource. The research method used is qualitative, specifically a literature review. The results indicate that Fort Willem I holds historical potential that can be incorporated into history education. The revitalization efforts support the optimization of its educational functions. The proposed strategies include inquiry-based educational zoning, implementation of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), digitization of knowledge, and strategic collaboration. The transformation of Fort Willem I into an open history laboratory can synergize aspects of pure and applied history, supporting the improvement of historical literacy, awareness of cultural heritage preservation, and students’ critical thinking skills through direct interaction with material evidence from the past.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Ethical Policy and the formation of colonial modernity in Gemeente Cirebon between 1901 and 1930, with particular attention to transportation infrastructure and its social consequences. Using the historical method and a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzes colonial reports, statistical records, administrative archives, contemporary newspapers, and relevant secondary literature. The findings show that railways, roads, and port facilities expanded regional connectivity and accelerated the circulation of export commodities, especially sugar, from inland production areas to the Port of Cirebon. Yet this modernization was deeply ambivalent. While it stimulated urban growth, economic circulation, and access to modern facilities, it also sharpened social inequality and strengthened colonial control over indigenous communities. Improvements in the economic, health, and educational sectors were distributed unevenly and remained closely tied to colonial interests. The article argues that the Ethical Policy in Cirebon functioned not only as a reform program but also as an instrument of exploitation, regulation, and social control.

Abstract

History learning in Indonesia remains largely transmissive and focused on factual memorization, limiting the development of students’ historical consciousness. This library research examines the relevance and integration of critical philosophy approaches in Indonesian history education by analyzing the canonical works of Freire, Habermas, Gadamer, and Rüsen alongside 24 peer-reviewed journal articles on history education and historical consciousness published between 2020 and 2024. Using content analysis and inter-theoretical comparison of 28 sources, the study argues that critical pedagogy, critical theory, and hermeneutics provide a coherent epistemological foundation for transforming history learning from knowledge transmission toward the cultivation of critical-historical consciousness. Its conceptual contribution is a four-pillar Critical History Pedagogy Framework comprising: deconstruction of singular narratives, democratic historical dialogue, historical-contemporary connection, and historical identity reflection. Grounded in the Merdeka Curriculum context and aligned with Rüsen’s typology of historical consciousness, this framework offers an integrated and operationalizable model for history curriculum development and pedagogy in Indonesia. Empirical testing in classroom settings is recommended for future research.
