Abstract

Rawa Campurdarat was initially used as a fishing site before transforming into a tourist destination under the Dutch East Indies community. Tourism activities, however, had to be suspended during the west monsoon due to rising water discharge that caused flooding in the Campurdarat District. Rawa Campurdarat also functioned as a fishery, with catches distributed beyond the region, significantly impacting the surrounding communities. This study aims to analyze the toponymy and conditions of the Rawa Campurdarat complex during the period 1931–1941, its transformation into both a tourist destination and a drainage system, and its role as a fishery within socio-economic and environmental contexts. The research employs historical methodology, consisting of four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal that Rawa Campurdarat underwent significant transformations between 1931 and 1941, encompassing its function as a site, drainage system, and fishery activities. These transformations not only benefited the Colonial Dutch East Indies government but also had positive impacts on the local population, directly felt through the development of tourism and the local economy.

Abstract

This article is a review of the book "Race, Power, and Colonial Violence in the Dutch East Indies, Period 1808-1830," written by Peter Carey and Farish A. Noor in 2022. This review article, in addition to discussing the book's content and ideas about colonialism in the Dutch East Indies, also reveals cases beyond warfare and violence, namely the racial concepts developed by European scholars that later fueled the colonialists' mistreatment of indigenous people. The purpose of this review article is to provide new insights into colonialism in the Dutch East Indies beyond the concepts of warfare and indigenous resistance.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the role of the badminton club in Indonesia, namely PB Djarum, in improving Indonesia's achievements in the national and international arena from 1969 to 2019. Badminton has a place in society just like the much-loved sport of football. The very high development of badminton is influenced by the mushrooming of clubs and the love of the Indonesian people for this sport. From this, the problem to be studied is how PB Djarum was formed and what factors strengthened PB Djarum for Indonesian sports achievements from 1969 to 2019. This research method will use historical methods, namely topic search, heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and then historiography. The results of this paper discover how PB Djarum was formed in 1969 and the role of PB Djarum in improving quality, namely by developing management of infrastructure, players and even coaches. Not only that, PB Djarum's achievements have also increased after experiencing a decline.

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of Gerwani (Indonesian Women's Movement) as a women's organization actively involved in gender struggles in Indonesia, as well as the impact of stigmatization that emerged after the events of 1965. Using qualitative methods and a literature study approach, this research examines historical sources, academic articles, and related documents to understand the changing role and image of Gerwani over time. The findings indicate that Gerwani initially played a significant role in the fight for women's rights, education, and gender equality. However, after the events of 1965, the organization underwent a drastic image shift, with its members stigmatized as part of a political movement associated with the G30S (G30S) incident. This stigmatization resulted in the silencing of gender struggles and the marginalization of its members in Indonesian socio-political history. This article seeks to explore the complexity of Gerwani's narrative in Indonesian history and its implications for the women's movement today.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain the contributions made by the Arab diaspora in Gresik, Indonesia, over the years in various fields, including trade, Islamization, education, and culture. Gresik, a major trading center on the north coast of Java, attracted an Arab community, which contributed significantly to the region's social and economic progress. This article uses archival sources and historical research with a literature review approach to demonstrate that the Arab diaspora not only strengthened global trade networks but also contributed to the spread of Islam by building mosques and educational institutions. Furthermore, the Arab presence in Gresik also left a deep impression on the area's social and cultural landscape, as seen in art, architecture, and customs. This study demonstrates that the contribution of the Arab diaspora has been a significant factor in shaping Gresik's distinctive local identity, which remains to this day.

Abstract

The policies implemented by Herman Willem Daendels and Thomas Stamford Raffles during the colonial period in the Archipelago had a significant impact on social change. Daendels was known for his infrastructure projects, particularly the construction of the Great Post Road, which accelerated mobility and colonial control but also led to labor exploitation. Meanwhile, Raffles introduced the land rent system, altering land ownership patterns and the agrarian economy, though its implementation faced social challenges. These policies not only influenced the colonial period but also shaped Indonesia’s socio-economic dynamics and governance in the modern era. The administrative reforms introduced by both figures laid the foundation for the bureaucratic system still in use today. This article examines how Daendels’ and Raffles’ policies shaped the social structures of the Archipelago and left a lasting legacy that remains relevant to contemporary Indonesian development policies. Using a historical-critical approach and literature analysis, this study explores the relevance of colonial legacies in Indonesia’s socio-political dynamics while providing a new perspective on the long-term relationship between colonial policies and social transformation.

Abstract

During World War II in the Pacific region, Palembang functioned as the main center of oil production in the Southeast Asian region. This area and its oil refinery facilities were controlled by Japanese forces on February 15, 1942 in a battle known as the Battle of Palembang. In response, the United States planned an attack on the Plaju Oil Refinery in Palembang with the aim of weakening Japanese power through an operation called Matterhorn. This research aims to dig deeper into the Operation Matterhorn which took place in the city of Palembang. The method used in this study is a historical method with a qualitative approach. In the implementation of Operation Matterhorn (August 10-11, 1944), the United States bombed the Plaju Oil Refinery in Palembang using Boeing B-29 Superfortress aircraft. In addition, the aircraft was also used to spread mines in the Musi River, with the aim of disrupting the shipping lanes of Japanese ships carrying oil. During the Matterhorn operation in Palembang, areas such as Padang City, especially the Indarung Cement Factory, and Jambi City also experienced the impact of air attacks, because these areas were used as alternative missions if the bombing in Palembang was unsuccessful.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of railway transportation in supporting the movement of agricultural products and trade development in West Java during the Dutch colonial period. This research is significant because the growth of plantation commodities such as coffee, tea, sugar, and tobacco was closely linked to the availability of transportation infrastructure connecting production centers with export ports. This study uses a historical research method, collecting data from books, scientific journals, archival documents, and other historical sources relevant to the development of agriculture, plantations, and railways in West Java. The findings indicate that before the introduction of railways, agricultural commodities were transported using traditional methods such as carts, pack animals, and simple road networks, resulting in long travel times, high transportation costs, and a significant risk of product damage. The development of a railway network connecting plantation areas in Bogor, Sukabumi, Cianjur, Bandung, and other areas with Batavia and major ports substantially improved transportation efficiency. Railways accelerated the distribution of plantation products, reduced logistical constraints, increased export capacity, and encouraged economic integration between rural production areas and urban trade centers. The implications of this research indicate that transportation infrastructure plays a crucial role in agricultural commercialization, regional economic development, and market expansion. This study also demonstrates how the development of railways transformed patterns of commodity mobility and circulation in colonial West Java. The originality of this research lies in its focus on examining the relationship between railway expansion and the movement of agricultural commodities in West Java, a topic that has received little attention in previous historical studies.

Abstract

This study examines the May 1998 riots in Surakarta by focusing on their causes, dynamics, and impacts on the Chinese Indonesian community. The monetary crisis that began in late 1997 triggered economic instability, mass unemployment, and social unrest, which escalated into large-scale riots. The Chinese Indonesians became the main targets of looting, arson, and physical as well as sexual violence, leaving deep psychological trauma and significant material losses. This research employs historical methodology through four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Primary sources consist of local newspapers (Solopos and Suara Merdeka), supported by secondary sources such as books and academic journals. The findings reveal that the Surakarta riots were not merely spontaneous incidents but were closely linked to the discriminatory policies of the New Order, socioeconomic disparities, and the state’s failure to protect minority groups. After the riots, the Chinese community faced long-term challenges, including loss of security, distrust toward the government, and economic collapse. However, community-based reconciliation efforts, such as those in Surakarta’s Chinatown, played a role in rebuilding social harmony. This study highlights the importance of both structural and cultural approaches in preventing the recurrence of similar ethnic conflicts in the future.

Abstract

This study examines the decline in cinema attendance in Semarang City between 1979 and 1996 in relation to social, economic, and cultural changes in urban society. The study aims to describe the conditions of Semarang society during this period and to analyze the decline in cinema attendance and the factors contributing to it. The study employed historical methods, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data sources included statistics from the Central Java Statistics Agency (BPS), contemporary newspaper archives, and interviews with informants who were involved in or experienced the cinema industry firsthand in Semarang. The results show that although the number of cinemas in Semarang continued to increase from the late 1970s to the 1980s, the number of cinemagoers tended to decline. In the 1980s, the average number of cinemagoers reached around four million per year, but in the 1990s, this number dropped drastically to around four hundred thousand per year. Various factors, such as advances in audio-visual technology, the rise of television and VCDs, the high circulation of pirated VCDs, high ticket prices, and inadequate facilities at traditional cinemas, influenced this decline. Furthermore, the dominance of modern cineplexes in the distribution of imported films and the declining appeal of national films also weakened the position of local cinemas. This situation was further exacerbated by high entertainment taxes and the 1997–1998 monetary crisis, which reduced public purchasing power. As a result, several traditional cinemas in Semarang were forced to close due to continued losses. This research shows that the decline of cinemas in Semarang is the result of changes in technology, the economy, and public entertainment consumption patterns, which have transformed cinemas' role as public entertainment spaces.
