Abstract

This study investigates the Dutch East Indies government's strategic promotion of “colonization”—a state-managed migration program aimed at relocating populations from densely populated Java to Lampung between 1930 and 1941. This era marks the third and peak phase of the program, characterized by both policy shifts and a significant surge in participation. Employing historical methods and archival discourse analysis, the research examines a corpus of newspapers published within this timeframe. Findings reveal a strategic alignment between colonial recruitment strategies and pro-migration narratives specifically designed to target the educated “intellectual” class. Unlike traditional methods, the government utilized sophisticated propaganda strategically embedded within news columns to project an appearance of objectivity and bypass the critical defenses of literate readers. This study contributes a nuanced perspective to the historiography of colonial migration and press history, illustrating how media discourse was engineered as a sophisticated recruitment tool during a period of global economic depression.

Abstract

This study evaluates the socio-ecological consequences of the Argoguruh Dam irrigation system from the Dutch colonial era (1935–1942) through the New Order period (1993). Using an environmental history approach informed by Richard Grove’s Green Imperialism and path-dependency perspectives, the study examines the historical background of the project, its social and environmental impacts, and the long-term continuity of those impacts. A qualitative, library-based method was employed using colonial newspapers, government reports, and local newspapers such as Berita Yudha and Harian Ekonomi Neraca. The findings show that the Argoguruh Dam significantly increased rice production and accelerated the expansion of transmigrant settlements in Trimurjo–Metro. At the same time, the project contributed to large-scale deforestation, watershed sedimentation, and the marginalization of indigenous Lampungese communities. These socio-ecological transformations persisted into the New Order era through irrigation rehabilitation projects, transmigration expansion, and mega-agrarian development schemes.

Abstract

This article traces the professionalization of indigenous medical staff at Petronella Hospital, Yogyakarta, between 1900 and 1940. Addressing the historical gap regarding non-elite health workers, this study examines how marginalized Javanese individuals negotiated colonial disciplines to achieve social mobility. Using a historical method framed by subaltern theory based on colonial archives, this research reveals that Petronella served as an engine of mobility. The institution transformed unskilled domestic workers into professionals (zuster and mantri). Through the decentralized “Yogyakarta System,” Petronella produced state-recognized nurses and conducted a radical gender experiment by training male midwives to address high rural maternal mortality. Ultimately, this professionalization demonstrates how subaltern indigenous agency adopted medical modernity without forfeiting cultural roots.

Abstract

The post-1870 expansion of Java's sugar industry required mobilizing seasonal labor at industrial scale from a communal society that knew no land proletariat. This article examines lurah (village heads) and mandur (foremen) as intermediaries who enabled it between 1870 and 1920, asking why the colonial state failed to dismantle a brokerage system it repeatedly acknowledged as exploitative. Building on Eric Wolf's concept of the broker and a historical-institutional approach, it reconstructs the brokerage architecture from three documentary clusters: the Verslag van de Suiker-Enquête Commissie (1921), selected Koloniale Verslagen (1871–1921), and the Mindere Welvaart Onderzoek volumes, read alongside the Kabinetscirculaire of Governor-General Van der Wijck (5 February 1894). The analysis identifies four profit layers of the lurah and three functions of the mandur, and reads state inaction as deliberate prioritization of industrial interests rather than administrative incapacity. Coercion and market mechanisms operated within an institutional architecture framed by colonial policy choices.

Abstract

This study examines the biography and political trajectory of Pardis, a local political figure in Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra, who moved from working as an electronics technician to serving as a member of the Pesisir Selatan Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) for three consecutive terms. This research asks how Pardis’s life history, education, occupational background, and political involvement shaped his career as a local legislator, and what factors enabled him to maintain public trust across the 2014, 2019, and 2024 elections. Using the historical method, this study applies four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through interviews with Pardis and related informants, supported by archival materials, official documents, and relevant literature. The findings show that Pardis was born in Koto Kabun, Nagari Sungai Tunu Utara, Ranah Pesisir District, Pesisir Selatan Regency. He was educated at SDN 16 Koto Kabun, MTsN 5 Pesisir Selatan, SMKS Adi Karya Ranah Pesisir, and ATAK Balai Selasa. His working life began as an electronics technician in 2001 before he entered local politics and was elected to the Pesisir Selatan DPRD in 2014, 2019, and 2024. His electoral success was supported by a leadership style rooted in social proximity, direct field visits, open communication, and active participation in community activities. This study concludes that Pardis’s ability to sustain his political position was shaped not only by formal electoral strategies but also by his long-term capacity to build trust-based relationships with local communities.
Mosques as Islamic Social Infrastructure for Community Resilience in Tsunami-Prone Padang, Indonesia Narny, Yenny

Abstract

This article examines the potential of mosques to function as Islamic social infrastructure for strengthening community resilience in tsunami-prone coastal Padang, Indonesia. Existing disaster risk reduction strategies in Padang have largely emphasised technical mitigation, early warning systems, evacuation routes, and purpose-built vertical evacuation shelters. However, the limited number and uneven distribution of formal shelters remain critical problems, especially in densely populated coastal areas exposed to short tsunami arrival times. Rather than treating mosques merely as religious buildings or informal refuge spaces, this article repositions them as socially trusted, spatially embedded, and culturally legitimate institutions that can support community-based disaster preparedness. The study employs a qualitative evidence synthesis approach, drawing on secondary spatial data, disaster risk studies, mosque distribution data, and literature on social trust, place attachment, Islamic perspectives on disaster, and community resilience. The findings show that mosques in coastal Padang possess four strategic qualities: spatial proximity to exposed communities, everyday familiarity, moral legitimacy, and institutional capacity for collective coordination. By integrating these qualities into disaster planning, mosques can become community-based nodes of preparedness, evacuation, communication, and post-disaster support. This article contributes to disaster risk reduction and Islamic social studies by developing the concept of mosque-based Islamic social infrastructure as a culturally grounded framework for resilience in Muslim coastal communities.
