Abstract

This study explores the philosophical significance embedded in the Naber Laut tradition practiced by the community of Batu Beriga Village, Central Bangka Regency, from 1963 to 2018. The Naber Laut tradition is a customary ceremony rooted in animistic and dynamistic beliefs, serving as an expression of gratitude for the bounty of the sea as well as a plea for the safety of fishermen. This research employs historical methods with a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that this tradition embodies spiritual, social, and cultural values that strengthen local identity and serve as a form of resistance against the tide of modernization. The Naber Laut tradition also represents the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, passed down through generations. This studys findings strengthen efforts to preserve local culture amidst the dynamics of social change. This study sheds new light on how local traditions function as dynamic cultural adaptation strategies in the face of modernization.

Abstract

The implementation of marriage in an area has its traditions and the Bugis tribe's marriage. Some customs are attached to the procession and have good meanings. The meaning of the wedding procession is often only known by traditional leaders or a group of people who are traditional observers. As a result, the older generation fails to transmit these customs effectively to the next generation. This research aims to explore the symbolic meaning of one of the Bugis tribe's wedding processions, which is called the Mammatua. The research method uses a descriptive approach with a qualitative research type. The authors collected the research data through observation, documentation, and interviews. We conducted observation and documentation directly at one of the Bugis tribe wedding processes in Baranti District, Sidrap Regency. Informants consisted of traditional leaders and local community members involved in the Mammatua procession at one of the weddings. The research information collected was then validated using symbolic validity with the involvement of anthropologists. The validated data was then analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and verification techniques. The study results show that the Mammatua is carried out after the wedding reception to ask for blessings from the bride and groom's parents. The procession features the exchange of lipa sabbe (silk sarongs) between families as a symbol of mutual respect and familial unity. In contrast, the offering of penne anreang (plates containing staple foods, ingredients, and traditional cakes) expresses the hope that the bride and groom will uphold the integrity of their household. These meanings emerge from symbolic interactions that the community has continuously expressed and practiced across generations, eventually becoming embedded beliefs that are actively preserved.

Abstract

This study investigates the historical development of Dutch loanwords in the Indonesian language, situating it within the broader context of colonialism and linguistic transformation. The study is premised on the assumption that colonial rule not only shaped political and economic structures but also left a profound impact on language. The central research question investigates how Dutch colonialism contributed to the development and integration of Dutch-derived vocabulary in Indonesian. Employing a historical-linguistic methodology, this study combines etymological analysis with archival and textual sources from the colonial period to trace the semantic evolution and socio-political function of selected loanwords. The findings reveal that Dutch loanwords are predominantly found in administrative, legal, educational, and technological domains, reflecting the sectors most influenced by colonial governance. These borrowings did not merely enrich the lexicon but also signified a shift in epistemic frameworks during the colonial encounter. The article argues that the linguistic legacy of colonialism in Indonesia is not a passive imprint but an active site of negotiation and adaptation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the entangled relationship between language and power in postcolonial societies and highlights the importance of historical inquiry in linguistic research.

Abstract

This study explores the educational contributions and intellectual legacy of Kiai Hasan Maolani, a prominent Islamic scholar who lived during the Dutch colonial era in Kuningan Regency, West Java. The research centers on his biography and his significant role as both a religious and educational figure, whose influence extended beyond regional boundaries, attracting students from Central and East Java. Employing a historical method that integrates heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, this study utilizes both primary and secondary sources to reconstruct his educational activities. The findings reveal that Kiai Hasan Maolani founded Pesantren Lengkong, which emerged as a vital institution for Islamic religious education and intellectual development. Through this pesantren, he implemented a holistic educational philosophy encompassing key concepts such as the pursuit of knowledge (thalabul 'ilm), worship (ibadah), Islamic monotheism (tawhid), social cohesion through visits and religious networking (silaturahmi and ziyarah), charitable practices (amal), and spiritual struggle (jihad). The research concludes that Kiai Hasan Maolanis educational model not only shaped the intellectual character of his time but also laid the foundation for a resilient pesantren-based learning tradition in West Java.

Abstract

This study investigates the WarenhuisMedans first modern department storeas both a symbol of colonial-era modernity and a pivotal force in the citys economic transformation during the Dutch East Indies period. Strategically located at the confluence of European urban planning and local commercial dynamics, the Warenhuis served not only as a site for retail activity but also as a visual and functional embodiment of socio-economic change within a rapidly industrializing colonial context. The central inquiry guiding this research is: in what ways did the emergence and operation of the Warenhuis mirror and shape Medans economic and spatial development during the colonial era? Using a qualitative historical methodology, the research draws upon archival sources, colonial-era newspapers, and urban planning documents to trace the department stores role in reshaping the citys commercial infrastructure. The findings reveal that the Warenhuis operated as more than a commercial establishmentit acted as a cultural and economic interface, where colonial ideologies of progress intersected with indigenous modes of consumption and space-making. It simultaneously symbolized colonial ambition and enabled capitalist expansion, contributing significantly to the formation of Medans modern urban identity in the early 20th century.

Abstract

This study investigates the multicultural character of Medan in the late 19th century, with a focus on the intricate ethnic and cultural dynamics that influenced the citys evolution during the colonial era. As a rapidly growing urban hub in East Sumatra, Medan attracted a diverse array of migrant communitiesincluding Malays, Bataks, Chinese, Indians, and Europeanseach of which played a role in shaping the citys socio-cultural landscape. This research addresses the question of how these ethnic groups interacted, negotiated spatial boundaries, and coexisted within the colonial urban order. Using a qualitative historical approach, the study draws upon archival materials, colonial administrative records, and travel writings to reconstruct interethnic relations and patterns of cultural exchange. The findings suggest that Medans multiculturalism was not simply a consequence of demographic plurality, but was deeply embedded in colonial economic imperatives, labor migration systems, and spatial planning strategies that regulated intergroup contact. Ethnic enclaves emerged as both sites of cultural preservation and zones of contestation, giving rise to hybrid identities and practices. The study concludes that 19th-century Medan offers a formative example of colonial urban multiculturalismshaped by global migration and colonial governanceand provides valuable historical insight into the roots of ethnic pluralism in contemporary Indonesia.

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.
