Abstract

The Bundo Kanduang Organization represents a prominent women’s institution in Minangkabau society that plays a crucial role in preserving customary law and cultural identity, particularly through the implementation of the philosophical foundation Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah. This study aims to examine the historical background of the organization’s establishment and analyze the strategies employed in maintaining and transmitting these values within the community. The research applies Bronislaw Malinowski’s functionalist theory to assess the social functions of the organization. Employing the historical method within a qualitative research framework, the study follows the stages of heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected from literature reviews, historical documents, and interviews with traditional leaders and members of Bundo Kanduang. The findings reveal that the Bundo Kanduang Organization functions not only as a custodian of customary law but also as a center of moral and ethical guidance for Minangkabau women and the younger generation. Through its matrilineal kinship system, the organization assumes a strategic role in transmitting Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah values via training, cultural education, and community-based programs. These strategies firmly position Bundo Kanduang as a pivotal institution in sustaining the continuity of Minangkabau customary law rooted in this philosophical foundation.

Abstract

This article explores ICESCO’s evolving approach to protecting endangered heritage in the Islamic world since its restructuring in 2019. Employing a qualitative and interpretive design, the study analyzes organizational strategies, official reports, and secondary assessments, complemented by insights drawn from public presentations in Mosul, Sana’a, and Al-Quds. The research identifies a distinctive model of “southern heritage governance” that integrates rapid risk mitigation, community-driven recovery, and symbolic diplomacy. Through selected case vignettes, the article demonstrates how ICESCO combines technical conservation with local empowerment, climate-sensitive planning, and multi-scalar partnerships to confront challenges posed by armed conflict, urban degradation, and environmental pressures. Compared with UNESCO and ALECSO, ICESCO emerges as more agile and culturally embedded, though still limited by funding instability and restricted political access. The findings contribute to scholarly debates on heritage resilience by showing how culturally rooted institutions can reposition heritage as a resource for justice, healing, and identity, rather than solely for preservation. The article concludes with recommendations for scaling up risk mapping, enhancing youth engagement, and improving impact evaluation across member states.

Abstract

This article examines the New Order's efforts to shape the identity, character, and collective memory of society through Monas and the Ranggawarsita Museum, which serve as examples for provincial museums. The initiative to establish provincial museums in Indonesia began during the New Order era, reflecting the spirit of national development and stability. These museums were built in the capital of each province, with collections consisting of objects from their respective regions, including fossils, temple ruins, and cultural artefacts from local communities. The main objective of these provincial museums was to foster national identity, character, and collective memory, thereby strengthening the legitimacy of the New Order regime through narratives and displays organised according to museum guidelines. The analysis employs a historical method that encompasses four stages, incorporating heuristics that involve examining archival data, newspapers, literature studies, and observations of museum displays. Criticism is expressed by comparing the collected data with contemporary information. Interpretation and writing are the final stages of the historical method. Provincial museums were a tool for institutionalising the official history compiled by the New Order government. This had implications for the persistence of narratives and displays in provincial museums until the end of the New Order era. Additionally, provincial museums also struggle to innovate in their narratives and displays, leading to limited visits from primary school students.

Abstract

This study investigates the evolving dynamics of the Kesawan Area in Medan City as a heritage tourism destination from 2010 to 2025. Its primary aim is to analyze the processes of revitalization, branding strategies, and digital transformation undertaken to establish Kesawan as a historical icon of the city, while also examining how these processes shape perceptions of heritage. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-historical method, drawing on field observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the period 2010–2020 marked the initial phase of revitalization, characterized by heritage branding through cultural festivals, architectural preservation, and the promotion of regional identity. In contrast, the period 2020–2025 witnessed the adoption of smart tourism and digital technologies, which significantly increased tourist visits and stimulated the growth of local micro, small, and medium enterprises. Strong branding reinforced Kesawan’s historical image, while digital transformation expanded accessibility and enhanced tourist engagement, despite persistent challenges such as the digital divide and the risk of commodification. The study underscores that heritage preservation can be managed adaptively and sustainably through the integration of branding strategies and digital innovation. Theoretically, it contributes to the field of heritage tourism by offering insights into how historical dynamics and digital transformation intersect to shape the meaning of heritage within urban spaces.

Abstract

This study examines the agrarian conflict between transmigrant farmers in Jambi Province and PT. Kaswari Unggul from a social-historical perspective. The research investigates how the New Order's transmigration policy in the 1980s shaped patterns of land ownership, social change, and agrarian tension in Sukamaju Village, East Tanjung Jabung Regency. Using a critical historical approach combined with qualitative case studies, the data were collected through in-depth interviews, contemporary media analysis, and literature review. The findings reveal that the transmigration program, initially designed to promote equitable population distribution and agricultural productivity, instead generated structural inequalities and land disputes between local communities and private plantation companies. The state's developmental agenda, framed within modernization and economic growth narratives, failed to protect the rights and welfare of transmigrant farmers. The persistence of agrarian conflicts illustrates the long-term social impact of the New Order’s policies, which continue to influence rural dynamics and peasant struggles in Jambi today.

Abstract

The Tegalsari Grand Mosque is a cultural heritage structure protected under Indonesian Law No. 11 of 2010; however, it has not yet been formally designated by the Government of Ponorogo Regency. A major renovation undertaken by the local government in 1978 substantially altered the mosque’s original form, resulting in the erosion of its distinctive Old Javanese architectural identity. This study investigates the historical background of the restoration of the Tegalsari Grand Mosque, the factors that motivated the restoration, and the outcomes achieved through this process. Specifically, the research addresses how and why restoration efforts were carried out to recover the mosque’s original architectural character. Employing a historical research method, the study follows the stages of heuristics, source verification, interpretation, and historiography, drawing upon both primary and secondary sources. The concept of architectural restoration serves as the principal analytical framework. The findings demonstrate that the mosque was founded in 1742 CE by Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari in Gendol Hamlet, Tegalsari Village, Jetis District, Ponorogo Regency, and originally embodied the characteristics of Old Javanese Mosque architecture. Restoration was initiated by the Cultural Heritage Preservation Agency between 1994 and 1997, following the gradual decline of the mosque’s identity as an ancient Javanese mosque. The restoration was implemented in three phases, encompassing the main prayer hall, the veranda and pavilion, and the courtyard along with its supporting structures, ultimately reaffirming the mosque’s historical and architectural significance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Barzanji tradition among Malay communities in Riau, Jambi, Rantau Parapat, Aceh, and Deli Serdang in order to examine variations in practice and local specificities from the perspective of Islamic anthropology. Employing a qualitative method with a comparative approach, the research draws on participant observation, in-depth interviews with tradition and religious figures, and documentary analysis of Barzanji texts and ritual practices. The findings indicate that although Barzanji is grounded in relatively uniform textual structures, its enactment is adapted to diverse social and cultural contexts. In Riau, Barzanji functions as a symbol of Malay–Islamic tradition legitimacy; in Jambi, it reflects cultural flexibility and hybridity; in Rantau Parapat, it reinforces Islam–Malay identity within a multiethnic society; in Aceh, it demonstrates ritual institutionalization and collective performance; while in Deli Serdang, it represents a synthesis of sultanate traditions and community-based religious practices. These findings position Barzanji as an adaptive form of cultural da‘wah and contribute to scholarship in Islamic anthropology and Islam Nusantara by illustrating how religious rituals operate as arenas for negotiating identity, cultural authority, and the continuity of local Islamic traditions.

Abstract

This article examines the socio-economic impacts of agrarian exploitation during the Dutch East Indies period by positioning irrigation systems as a central instrument of colonial agricultural policy. From the implementation of the forced cultivation system (cultuurstelsel) to the era of economic liberalization, the expansion of irrigation networks functioned not merely as technical infrastructure but as a mechanism of control over land, labor, and agrarian production among indigenous communities. This study employs historical research methods, including source collection (heuristics), source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, drawing upon colonial archival materials, technical reports of the Dutch East Indies government, and relevant historiographical studies. The findings reveal that while colonial irrigation development increased agricultural productivity and generated economic surplus for the colonial state, it simultaneously intensified labor exploitation, reinforced social inequality, and marginalized indigenous irrigation systems. The legacy of colonial irrigation infrastructure continues to shape contemporary water management practices and agrarian relations in Indonesia.
