Abstract

This article discusses Lhokseumawe City during the New Order era using historical research methods consisting of heuristics, verification, interpretation and historiography. The research results show that Lhokseumawe City tends to have good geographical conditions as an industrial location. This is also supported by Lhokseumawe's long history as an indicator that this region has long been important to rulers at all times. During the New Order government, Lhokseumawe was then turned into an industrial city with all the natural resources it had. The success of the New Order in turning Lhokseumawe into an industrial city was carried out by enacting Regional Laws and Regulations as legitimacy in the management of all commodities owned by the region. Even though development was promoted in Lhokseumawe, it was only physical, while the people still experienced social inequality, until the end of the New Order's rule for more than 30 years.

Abstract

The Tuwu Dance is an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Nias people in Indonesia, reflecting their identity and deeply rooted traditions. This research explores key aspects of this traditional dance, including its history, cultural significance, specific movements, and the role it plays in the social fabric of Nias society. The research employs a qualitative approach, incorporating direct observation of dance performances, in-depth interviews with community leaders and cultural practitioners, and analysis of relevant literature to gather comprehensive insights. Findings reveal that the Tuwu Dance is not merely an artistic expression; it embodies values of unity, courage, and spiritual reverence, deeply embedded in the everyday life of the Nias people. The dance involves vigorous and expressive movements, which showcase physical grace and strength, symbolizing resilience and communal solidarity. Furthermore, the Tuwu Dance serves as a vital medium for cultural transmission, ensuring that traditional values and identity are preserved and passed on to the younger generation. In conclusion, the Tuwu Dance plays a crucial role in maintaining cultural continuity and reinforcing social bonds, thus holding a revered place in the hearts of the Nias people.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the role of Fransen van de Putte in advocating for an alternative approach to Dutch colonial policy in Aceh during the period 1873-1885, and identifies the factors influencing his efforts. The focus of this research lies in the criticisms and alternatives proposed by Fransen van de Putte against the Dutch government’s aggressive strategy in Aceh. This study employs a historical method with a social science approach and Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony as its analytical framework. The primary sources include Fransen van de Putte’s speeches compiled in Atjeh: Parlementaire Redevoeringen van I. D. Fransen van de Putte van Februari 1873 – December 1885. Secondary sources consist of books and scholarly journal articles. The findings reveal that, despite being marginalised, Fransen van de Putte consistently voiced criticism and offered alternatives to the Dutch colonial policy in Aceh. However, he faced significant challenges in challenging the hegemonic dominance of aggressive narratives in the Dutch parliament. This research provides new insights into the political dynamics in the Netherlands during the Aceh War and the role of individuals in challenging hegemony, particularly within the context of colonialism.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Ethical Policy on the development of education in early 20th-century Indonesia, focusing on the Dutch colonial government's efforts to improve the social and economic conditions of the indigenous population. The research explores how the Ethical Policy influenced the colonial education system and brought about significant changes in educational access for indigenous communities. Using a historical analysis approach, the study draws from primary sources, such as colonial policy documents, and secondary sources that analyze the societal impact of education policies. The findings reveal that while the Ethical Policy increased educational opportunities, these were mainly accessible to the elite class, limiting broader educational access among the indigenous population. However, the policy inadvertently set the stage for an intellectual awakening that spurred anti-colonial resistance. The study concludes that the Ethical Policy, while aimed at the welfare of the indigenous people, primarily benefited the elite, inadvertently fostering nationalistic sentiment among educated Indonesians.

Abstract

The Keuh coins of Bandar Aceh Darussalam, made from tin, served as currency during the Aceh Darussalam Sultanate. Known as Caxa by the Portuguese and Kasha by the Dutch, these coins varied in value depending on cultural contexts. This study aims to inventory, identify, and describe the Keuh coins of Bandar Aceh Darussalam within the collection of the Museum of Quranic History in North Sumatra. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, data collection involved direct observation of the coins. The identification and description processes included measurements of weight, diameter, and thickness, alongside an analysis of inscriptions found on the coins. Findings reveal that the Museum of Quranic History in North Sumatra houses a collection of 39 Keuh coins from Bandar Aceh Darussalam, showcasing variations in size and inscriptions. This inventory is essential for the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage. The study also highlights the importance of engaging multiple stakeholders to increase public awareness of the museum's collection. The detailed identification and description of the Keuh coins aim to foster a broader understanding and appreciation of these historical artifacts among diverse audiences.

Abstract

The construction of Great Postal Road, known as the De Grote Postweg, played a transformative role in shaping infrastructure development and social dynamics in Java during the early 19th century. This study examines the historical context, motivations, and impacts of the 1,000 km road, stretching from Anyer to Panarukan, constructed under the administration of Governor-General Herman Willem Daendels. Employing the historical method, the research follows a four-step process: heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, ensuring data accuracy and reliability. The findings reveal that the primary objectives of the road were to improve communication across Java and bolster defenses against British threats along the northern coast. Furthermore, the construction resulted in substantial changes to the island's infrastructure and brought profound socio-economic consequences to the local population. This article concludes that although the road primarily served colonial interests, its enduring legacy significantly influenced the socio-economic transformation of the regions it traversed.

Abstract

The kulcapi is a traditional musical instrument deeply embedded in Karo cultural practices. This study aims to trace its historical usage within traditional ceremonies and rituals, examine its functional evolution from ancient times to the modern era, and analyze its transformation from a ritualistic to an entertainment medium. Employing a historical approach, this research utilizes literature review and case studies related to the kulcapi's role within Karo culture. Findings indicate that the kulcapi has experienced a significant functional transformation: initially a solo instrument in ritual contexts, it became an integral part of the gendang telu sedalanen ensemble and has more recently merged with modern instruments, such as the keyboard. This transition reflects the kulcapi's adaptation to social and cultural changes while presenting challenges to its traditional values. The study concludes that preserving and developing the cultural heritage associated with the kulcapi is essential for maintaining Karo cultural identity amidst global modernization pressures.

Abstract

This research examines newspapers in North Sumatra that published beauty advertisements, catering to the aesthetic needs of individuals, especially women seeking self-care and beauty enhancement. The study aims to track the development in types and content of cosmetics advertisements and the advertising stages during the period from 1940 to 1945. Employing semiotics and discourse analysis, this research integrates data collection through interviews and analysis techniques to explore advertisements on women's beauty in mass media published in the Batak region of North Sumatra from 1940 to 1945. Advertisements in these media often depict European women, reflecting an ideology that positioned Europeans as inherently superior to natives. Through visual and narrative strategies, cosmetics advertisements propagated a concept of Western beauty to the indigenous population of the archipelago. This article discusses beauty concepts, such as the allure of a slim physique, a prominent nose, and curly hair, as conveyed by pre-independence media advertisements.

Abstract

This study explores the historical buildings in Medan, which serve as vital cultural heritage from the Dutch colonial era in North Sumatra. These well-preserved structures stand as monumental evidence of the past and are legally recognized as heritage sites. Over time, the area that once served as the administrative center has undergone significant transformations, evolving into a commercial hub. This shift has resulted in physical modifications, functional repurposing, and the emergence of new constructions that disrupt the architectural harmony of the colonial-era landscape. Employing a historical research method—encompassing heuristic analysis, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography—this study investigates the impact of colonialism on Medan’s urban development. The findings indicate that the visual identity of Lapangan Merdeka is predominantly defined by its physical elements, particularly the enduring presence of Dutch colonial buildings. The area’s architectural character is shaped by key design principles, including uniform building heights, structural alignment, roof typology, and spatial arrangements between buildings. This research underscores the growing threat posed by urban modernization to Medan’s historical integrity, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation strategies to preserve its colonial architectural heritage and cultural significance.

Abstract

This study investigates the foundation and role of Zending in the historical development of the GKJ Ngulakan Church in Kulon Progo from 1916 to 1980. The research aims to examine the establishment of the church and assess the contributions of Zending to its institutional and community growth. Employing the historical method, this study follows a structured approach, including topic selection, heuristics, source verification, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal that GKJ Ngulakan was officially established in 1916 by the Dutch Gereformeerd Zending, following the emergence of a Christian congregation in Ngulakan in 1913. Beyond its religious mission, Zending played a transformative role in local education, healthcare, and economic development. Over time, particularly from 1980 onwards, the church witnessed substantial growth, characterized by an increase in baptized members and the institutionalization of synod sessions for pastoral appointments. This study underscores the critical influence of Zending in shaping not only the religious landscape of GKJ Ngulakan but also its broader socio-economic environment, offering new insights into the intersection of missionary activities and local community development.
