Abstract

This study explores the historical evolution of Kiskendo Cave in Kulon Progo Regency from 1964 to 2005, focusing on the role of the Tourism Awareness Group in managing and preserving the site. Employing a historical research methodology, the study follows five key stages: (1) topic selection; (2) heuristics; (3) source criticism; (4) interpretation; and (5) historiography. The findings indicate that between 1974 and 1978, the Level I Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta acquired approximately 5 hectares of land surrounding the cave. Subsequently, on July 26, 1987, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX officially inaugurated Kiskendo Cave as a public tourist attraction. Further developments took place in 2005 when the provincial government delegated the cave’s management to the Kulon Progo Tourism Office, aiming to enhance regional revenue through tourism. The study underscores the transformation of Kiskendo Cave from a sacred site into a significant tourism destination, highlighting the crucial role of local governance and community involvement in its preservation. By examining this transformation, the research contributes to a broader understanding of historical site management and sustainable tourism development in Indonesia.

Abstract

The proclamation of the Islamic State of Indonesia (Negara Islam Indonesia, NII) by Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosoewiryo marked a pivotal moment in Indonesia’s political and religious landscape. This study delves into the historical development of NII, the ideological underpinnings of Kartosoewiryo’s movement, and the contemporary political ramifications of his legacy. It investigates the extent to which Kartosoewiryo’s vision continues to resonate within modern Islamist movements in Indonesia and how the historical narrative of NII has been reinterpreted in contemporary political discourse. Employing a historical-political analysis, this study draws upon primary and secondary sources, including archival records, academic studies, and contemporary reports. The findings reveal that although Kartosoewiryo’s aspiration for an Islamic state was ultimately dismantled, his ideological influence persists through various Islamist movements, shaping ongoing debates on Islam and governance in Indonesia. This study contends that Kartosoewiryo’s legacy is not merely a historical artifact but remains an active site of ideological contestation in Indonesia’s contemporary political arena. Understanding this legacy offers crucial insights into the evolution of political Islam in Indonesia and the persistent complexities surrounding the relationship between religion and the state.

Abstract

The British colonial administration in the early 19th century profoundly reshaped Indonesia’s trade and agricultural systems. This study examines the economic policies introduced under British rule, particularly during Sir Stamford Raffles’ administration, and their impact on Indonesia’s economic transformation. It focuses on key reforms implemented during the British occupation of Java (1811–1816), including changes to trade routes and agricultural policies. The central inquiry explores how these policies influenced local commerce and agricultural practices, with an emphasis on the introduction of the land rent system and the restructuring of the export sector. Employing a historical research approach, this study draws from primary sources such as government records and colonial reports, as well as secondary literature. The findings indicate that British policies accelerated the commercialization of agriculture, altered trade dynamics, and introduced new taxation structures that significantly disrupted traditional economic systems. However, these reforms also placed substantial economic pressures on local communities, exacerbating social inequalities and economic distress. While British interventions yielded short-term economic benefits, they simultaneously set the stage for prolonged colonial exploitation, shaping Indonesia’s economic trajectory in the decades that followed.

Abstract

Medan stands as one of Indonesia’s most multicultural cities, exhibiting intricate social dynamics shaped by its deep-rooted ethnic diversity. This study aims to examine interethnic social interactions in Medan while identifying the challenges and opportunities for fostering social integration. The primary research questions explore the historical development of ethnicity in Medan, the factors influencing interethnic interactions, and the mechanisms through which challenges such as discrimination and social inequality can be mitigated. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, this study investigates the historical formation of ethnicity in Medan and the evolving patterns of social interaction by analyzing historical records and social observations. The findings indicate that social interactions in Medan are influenced by colonial legacies, economic disparities, the role of religion, and education in shaping ethnic identity. Key challenges include social segregation, unequal access to resources, and identity politics, all of which impact social cohesion. Nonetheless, despite these challenges, Medan’s ethnic diversity remains a crucial asset for inclusive urban development, provided it is managed through a sustainable multicultural framework. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of ethnic dynamics within Indonesia’s urban landscape.

Abstract

The Kompolan Sabellesen tradition is one of the many Islamic communal traditions in Madura that serve as a medium for fostering social functions and values within the community. This study aims to examine the functions and Islamic values embedded in the Kompolan Sabellesen tradition, particularly in strengthening social bonds, ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood), and social solidarity among the Madurese people. Employing a qualitative method with an anthropological approach, this research utilizes both textual sources—such as books and journals—and oral sources. Data analysis is conducted using symbolic interpretive theory. Fieldwork was carried out in several districts in Madura, including Sumenep, Pamekasan, Sampang, and Bangkalan. The findings reveal that this tradition plays a crucial role in shaping socio-religious dynamics within the Madurese community, reinforcing communal identity, and fostering harmonious social interactions. The tradition is not only a cultural heritage but also a vital mechanism for maintaining religious and social cohesion in Madura.

Abstract

This article examines the socio-economic impacts of the Jabodetabek Economic Electric Rail Train operation towards the surrounding community from 1976 to 2013. The study analyzes the development of the transportation and the response of community. The research highlights how the existence of the transportation caused various significant impacts both positively and negatively. The present study employs a historical method incorporating heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography to analyze the phenomenon. The findings reveal that, while the presence of the Electric Rail Train yielded positive socio-economic impacts, such as fostering potential cooperation and generating employment opportunities within the community, it also concomitantly led to an escalation in crime and conflict, including thuggery, pickpocketing, and vandalism, within the train-crossing areas. The article concludes that the train’s operation had engendered a dilemma, stemming from the high intensity of social interaction characterizing the station and its evolution into a commercial hub for the local community.

Abstract

The legend of Meriam Puntung is a significant part of the oral tradition among the Malay community, serving as both a historical narrative and a medium for collective memory construction. This study explores how the legend has been transmitted across generations, its role in shaping historical consciousness, and the extent to which it reflects the identity of the Malay people. Using Jan Vansina’s oral tradition theory and Paul Connerton’s theory of collective memory, this research examines the dynamics of storytelling, the transformation of the narrative over time, and its function in preserving historical knowledge. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with cultural figures, textual analysis of historical sources, and field observations at the Meriam Puntung site. The findings reveal that the legend has undergone adaptations, influenced by sociopolitical changes, while maintaining its core symbolism of resistance and local identity. Furthermore, the study highlights how the site itself serves as a tangible anchor for collective remembrance, reinforcing historical continuity. This research contributes to the discourse on the interrelation between oral tradition and historical consciousness, emphasizing the role of storytelling in shaping collective memory and identity formation within the Malay cultural framework.

Abstract

This article explores the socio-intellectual history of Islam in Palembang, spanning from the Sultanate era to the colonial period. Employing a qualitative historical approach and library research, the study examines the evolution of Islamic scholarly networks, the pivotal role of local ulama, and the influence of Dutch colonial policies on religious education. Primary sources include manuscripts authored by Sheikh Abdussamad al-Palimbani, royal Sultanate documents, and Dutch colonial archives. Data were analyzed thematically using a historical-hermeneutic framework and source criticism to ensure textual authenticity and contextual accuracy. The findings demonstrate that Palembang functioned as a major intellectual hub in Sumatra, shaped by the dynamic interplay between local Islamic authority, transregional ulama networks, and the pressures of colonial administration. This study contributes to the historiography of Malay-Islamic scholarship by highlighting the adaptive resilience of religious intellectual traditions amid shifting political regimes.

Abstract

This paper examines the emergence of Medan as a pivotal colonial economic hub in the early twentieth century, foregrounding the structural influence of plantation capitalism. Anchored in the broader trajectory of Dutch colonial expansion in Sumatra—especially in the Deli region—the study traces how large-scale plantation enterprises, predominantly in tobacco, rubber, and palm oil, fundamentally reshaped the city's urban morphology, socio-economic hierarchy, and administrative functions. The principal research inquiry centers on the role of plantation capitalism in engineering Medan’s economic configuration and entrenching colonial hierarchies. Employing a historical-analytical approach grounded in archival materials, colonial-era documentation, and academic literature, this study demonstrates that Medan’s accelerated urbanization and growing strategic importance were intrinsically linked to the imperatives of European capital and the systematic exploitation of both indigenous and migrant labor. The analysis further reveals that the spatial ordering of the city, investments in infrastructure, and patterns of social stratification were not merely coincidental, but deliberate outcomes of a capitalist logic institutionalized within the colonial apparatus. The findings suggest that Medan functioned not only as a logistical node in the transnational flows of commodities but also as a paradigmatic case of colonial urbanism shaped by plantation-driven accumulation. As such, the paper contributes to broader debates on the lasting imprint of colonial economic systems on Southeast Asia’s urban landscapes.
