The development of the plantation economy in Jember at the end of the 19th century required a large workforce, something that could not be met by the local population. The colonial government responded by bringing in workers from western East Java, the Vorstenlanden, and Madura Island. These migrants eventually settled in Jember and became pioneers for subsequent waves of migration until the Second World War. The entry of Javanese and Madurese people into Jember shaped the physical characteristics of settlements that have survived to this day. The settlement arrangements made by the colonial government were based on ecological and cultural considerations of migrants, and plantation-oriented resulted in a unique pattern of segregation. After Indonesia's independence, villages in Jember became more fluid in terms of demographic composition, however, the physical and cultural characteristics that indicate a village has Javanese or Madurese cultural roots are still clearly visible. This article describes the process of the formation of villages in Jember with a comparison of “Javanese villages” and “Madurese villages” to find out how far the colonial government's intervention influenced the formation of villages, and how the villagers concerned maintain their cultural identity as migrant newcomers.

This article examines the development of road infrastructure in Jambi Province during the New Order era and its impact on the socioeconomic aspects of the local community. The study employs a historical research methodology, encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The development initiatives of the New Order period were pivotal in the expansion of road infrastructure in Jambi Province. This infrastructure development, particularly road construction, was integrated into the Five-Year Development Plans (Repelita) and implemented in phases. For Jambi Province, the Repelita aimed to accelerate development and bridge the gap with other regions. This study analyzes the impact of infrastructure development, specifically focusing on its role in facilitating economic activity and the mobility of people and goods. The findings reveal that infrastructure development contributed significantly to social and economic life, including increased agricultural yields, diversification of professions, the emergence of new productive areas, changes in demographics and multi-ethnic diversity, and an overall improvement in the quality of life for the population.

This study examines forest plundering in KPH Randublatung involving individuals from outside the forest communities. The Reformation era marked the beginning of numerous demonstrations in both urban and rural areas across various regions. In forest villages where communities have close geographical proximity to state forests, one form of particularly intense demonstration was forest plundering. As residents of forest villages, or communities living near KPH, they have engaged in the practice of mblandongeven since the colonial period. Acts of taking wood from state forests have occurred for a long time. However, in the lead-up to the Reformation, taking wood from the forest evolved beyond mere theft, escalating into acts of plundering. This study analyzes the factors driving forest plundering, which also involved parties from outside the forest villages. The research findings indicate both internal (village community) and external factors contributing to the plundering. Internal factors include community customs, perceptions, and the necessity for survival amidst an environment that does not guarantee livelihood sustainability. External factors include political instability in the lead-up to the Reformation, which created opportunities for plunderers due to the absence of legal certainty. Additionally, the emergence of financiers driven by the demand for teak wood in the market also fueled organized and structured plundering. These actions were often supported by security forces.

This research examines the role of the Ambonsche Studiefonds and Sarekat Ambon organizations in fostering nationalism among Maluku natives and in the struggle for Indonesian independence. Using the historical method, this research explores how the Ethical Policy introduced by the Dutch East Indies government influenced the emergence of pro-independence organizations and how they played a role in mobilizing resistance to colonialism. The Ethical Policy, motivated by the Dutch' debt of honor' towards its colonies, opened up access to education for natives and indirectly encouraged national consciousness. The results show that the Ambonsche Studiefonds played a role in expanding access to education for Maluku natives, thus increasing nationalist awareness among them. In addition, Sarekat Ambon became an essential forum for resistance after the transfer of its headquarters to Surabaya, which contributed to the struggle for Indonesian independence. This research also highlights the existence of the Malukan nationalist movement despite many of its members being victims of torture by the Japanese occupation army. Their loyalty and fighting spirit ultimately contributed to Indonesia's independence in 1945. Based on the findings in the heuristic process, this research emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating the role of Malukan nationalists in the history of Indonesia's independence struggle. It is hoped that the results of this research can inspire the younger generation to uphold the spirit of nationalism and national unity in facing contemporary challenges.

North Maluku's history is marked by conflicts between the indigenous people and colonial rulers, spanning from the 17th century to the early 20th century. These conflicts were primarily driven by the seizure of agricultural lands and plantations, especially for clove and nutmeg spices, as well as forest areas and their products in rural areas. The colonial rulers' monopolistic practices, often enforced through contracts or agreements of cooperation and friendship, primarily benefited the colonial government and private sector. This situation led to growing unrest, anxiety, and pressure among the indigenous population, impacting them socially, economically, and politically. Various forms of indigenous resistance emerged, including rebellions and wars. This article explores several key questions: How did agrarian conflicts on indigenous plantation lands in rural North Maluku arise? What was the involvement of indigenous and colonial authorities in these conflicts? What were the impacts and processes for resolving these conflicts? The research findings indicate that agrarian conflicts arose due to several factors. First, the colonial rulers' monopolistic practices, enforced through contracts and cooperation agreements, only benefited the colonial side. Second, the indigenous people's lives were increasingly burdened by colonial social, economic, political, and military policies. Third, colonial rulers deliberately provoked disruptions in the relationships between local kings, native rulers, and their people. This article is based on source studies and field research from the colonial period, utilizing historical research methods: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The colonial and imperialist spirit, with its liberal capitalist views, significantly restricted indigenous freedoms to cultivate spices on their own plantations and manage forest products like resin. Additionally, indigenous people were prohibited from conducting trade with other traders, including fellow natives, traders from other parts of the archipelago, and foreign traders other than the Dutch.

In long-term planning, the central area of Semarang City is intended to serve as a centre for government, business development, and trade. As a result, more and more settlements are being evicted or marginalized. The manufacturing industry was relocated for business expansion, so it needed new land both to develop activities and provide supporting facilities. These two sectors eventually shifted to the city's outskirts, causing spatial transformation in suburban areas. This research was conducted as social research with an environmental history approach. The problem that arises is how suburban areas should move due to changes in land use and significant increases in land values. This study applies qualitative research methods with a historical approach to look at phenomena that occur in the suburbs of Semarang. The research results show that, in the 21st century, rice fields and swamps in the eastern region of Semarang City have been converted into industrial areas. This area connects Semarang City with cities in the eastern region of Java Island. Meanwhile, the western part of the city of Semarang, with its flat topography and close to the coast, has become an industrial area and is also being built for residential purposes. Both are close to Tanjung Emas Harbor. Increasingly intensive changes in land use have caused land prices to increase significantly yearly.

The advent of modernization in the 19th century significantly influenced the development of Langsa City, Aceh Province, as a cosmopolitan city. Despite having a strong Islamic tradition, Langsa was able to embrace cosmopolitanism without losing its Acehnese identity. This study focuses on the influence of cosmopolitanism on the socio-cultural life of the Langsa community. Cosmopolitanism in Langsa also influenced the lifestyle of its people, as seen in their global thinking and the perspectives of the educated elite. The research findings indicate that cosmopolitanism in Langsa has been ongoing for a long time, starting from the pre-Islamic era, continuing through the waves of European and other foreign arrivals, the influence of colonialism, independence, the arrival of modernist Islam, and up to the New Order political era. With abundant natural resources, Langsa has attracted foreigners. The interaction of people from various nations has led to the convergence of diverse cultures. However, despite being influenced by external cultures, the people of Langsa have also maintained their original culture amidst a hybrid culture. This is partly because the native people of Langsa, in their lifestyle, tend to follow the ulama(religious scholars) rather than the umara (secular leaders). As a cosmopolitan city, Langsa has also become a meeting place for modernist thoughts. One example is the acceptance of Muhammadiyah as a modernist Islamic organization.
