Abstract

Abstrak. Penutur Austronesia di Indonesia menempati posisi yang sangat strategis dalam pemahaman Austronesia global mengingat keletakannya di bagian tengah kawasan sebaran dengan populasi yang terbesar di antara negara-negara penutur Austronesia. Sebagai leluhur langsung populasi Indonesia asli sekarang, kemunculannya ca. 4000 BP menjadikan bidang studi yang sangat penting bagi kehidupan bangsa. Penelitian yang semakin intensif dalam dasawarsa terakhir telah memberikan banyak kemajuan tentang asal usul, persebaran, dan perkembangan secara sinkronis dan diakronis. Evolusi lokal sebagai hasil proses adaptasi lingkungan dan pengaruh luar menciptakan dinamika budaya dari Neolitik ke Paleometalik dan berlanjut ke masa sejarah hingga sekarang. Faktor evolusi lokal dan pengaruh luar itu lambat laun menciptakan kekhasan budaya-budaya lokal, hingga membentuk mozaik kebinekaan bangsa dan budaya Indonesia seperti yang kita lihat sekarang. Luasnya cakupan studi Austronesia dan masih terbatasnya penelitian menyisakan banyak pertanyaan yang belum terjawab, baik dalam kaitannya dengan konteks regional-global maupun konteks nasional. Kondisi ini merupakan tantangan yang mendorong perlunya intensifikasi penelitian di masa datang. Kata Kunci: Austronesia, Indonesia, Kebinekaan, Evolusi lokal, Pengaruh luar Abstract. Progress of Austronesian Studies in the Indonesian Archipelago. Austronesian-speaking people in Indonesia, which are part of the global Austronesian-speakers, which is the most densely populated, have a strategic role in figuring out the global Austronesians, especially since Indonesia is located in the middle of the dispersal area. As the direct predecessors of recent Indonesian indigenouspopulation, their emergence since ca. 4000 BP has become a highly important field of study in our nation’s life. The increasingly intensive researches within the last decade have resulted in significant progress in the Austronesian studies and have given us a better picture on the origin, dispersal, and development of the Austronesian speakers and their cultures, both synchronically and diachronically. Local evolution resulted from process of adaptation to the environment, as well as external influences, have created a cultural dynamics from the Neolithic to the Palaeometalic and historic periods, until now. Eventually the local evolution and external influences have generated unique local cultures that form a mosaic of diversity of Indonesian people and culture like we see today. The wide scopes of Austronesian studies and limited researches have left some unanswered questions, both in regional global and national contexts. That is a challenge, which encourages us to carry out more intensive researches in the near future. Keywords: Austronesia, Indonesia, Diversity, Local evolution, External influences

Abstrak. Kepulauan Maluku dikenal dunia sebagai tempat produksi, jalur, dan tujuan pencarian rempah oleh negara-negara Eropa pada periode perdagangan masa lampau. Beberapa negara seperti Portugis, Spanyol, Belanda, dan Inggris telah memberi pengaruh perkembangan peradaban di Kepulauan Maluku. Beberapa penelitian di situs-situs bekas kerajaan Ternate, Tidore, Bacan, Jailolo, dan bekas tempat kekuasaan lokal Orang Kaya di Banda telah memberi gambaran potensi sumberdaya budaya dan arti penting situs-situs itu bagi sejarah Nusantara. Belum semua informasi atau data yang diperoleh langsung dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kepentingan masyarakat yang lebih luas dengan berbagai media komunikasi. Untuk itu diharapkan data dan informasi yang ada dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kepentingan berbagai hal. Metodenya dengan memperlihatkan nilai penting dari hasil penelitian situs dan tinggalannya serta memberikan berbagai bentuk pemanfaatannya. Hasil pemanfaatannya antara lain melalui media penyaluran informasi publikasi, pengeluaran peraturan/kebijakan, tata lingkungan, pengembangan wisata, program pendidikan, pengembangan konsep baru, pengembangan museum. Regulasi yang lebih membuka peluang peran publik dalam pengelolaan dan penyajian benda budaya juga masih perlu dikembangkan.Termasuk di dalamnya peningkatan berbagai bentuk program pameran, pendidikan, dan event yang lebih berorientasi kepada masyarakat. Kata Kunci: Maluku, Rempah, Pengelolaan, Pemanfaatan, Media komunikasi Abstract. Archaeological Potency of Maluku Islands and Its Utilitations. Maluku islands is known to the world, especially European countries, as a producer, part of trade route, and destination of spices during the trade period in the past. Some countries such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom have influenced the development of civilization in the Maluku islands. Several studies on the sites of the former kingdoms of Ternate, Tidore, Bacan, Jailolo, and the former site of the local authority of the rich society in Banda has given an overview of cultural resource potential and importance of the sites for the history of the archipelago. Not all the information or data obtained can be utilized directly for the benefit of the wider community with diverse communication media. Therefore it is hoped that the available data and information can be utilized for various purposes by showing their important values of sites and their finds as well as the variety of proper uses, among others publications, issuance of regulations/policies, environmental management, tourism development, educational programs, development of new concepts, or establishing and improving museums. Regulations that provide more opportunity for public involvement in management and display of cultural heritage items – such as exhibitions, education, and events that are more community-oriented – also need to be made.

Abstract

Abstrak. Penanganan cagar budaya diharapkan tidak semata-mata menjadi tanggung jawab pemerintah, masyarakat juga harus diajak berperan aktif. Utamanya, yang terkait langsung dengan kehidupan masyarakat dengan cagar budaya yaitu pemanfaatannya. Apabila pemanfaatan itu tidak dikelola secara baik maka yang timbul adalah konflik sosial. Trowulan ditetapkan sebagai Kawasan Cagar Budaya Nasional melalui SK Mendikbud No. 260/M/2013 namun penanganan puluhan ribu cagar budaya masih perlu dibenahi. Studi ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif: observasi di situs-situs yang dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat baik dikuasai oleh negara maupun dimiliki masyarakat; wawancara mendalam kepada tokoh-tokoh yang berperan di dalam kehidupan masyarakat, pejabat pemerintah; diskusi kelompok bersama para peneliti, akademisi, pemerhati, pejabat pemerintah; dan kajian legislasi. Hasil studi ini menangkap esensi dari aspirasi masyarakat dalam pemanfaatan Trowulan berbasis masyarakat. Model tersebut bermuara pada manfaat identitas nasional dan kesejahteraan sosial. Semua aspek saling terkait dan memberi umpan balik (badan pengelola, legalitas, cetak biru, dana) sehingga menjadi majemen yang kuat dan berkesinambungan. Kata Kunci: Cagar Budaya, Pelestarian, Kawasan, Badan pengelola, Trowulan Abstract. Community Based Model of Trowulan Cultural Heritage Region Utilization. Managing cultural heritage is not solely the responsibility of the government. However, local people must be invited to play an active role too if preservation is to be successful, because utilization of the site and its resources is directly related to the interaction of people’s lives with cultural heritage and if utilization is not managed properly then social conflict will arise. Trowulan is recognized as a national heritage area through Decree No. 260/M/2013 from the Ministry of Education and Culture, but its preservation needs to be properly managed. This study applied the qualitative approach: observation on sites used by people either controlled by the state or owned by the community; in-depth interviews to persons who have a role in public life, and of central and local government officials; discussion groups with researchers, academics, observers, officials of the central government; and the study of legislation. This study captured the essence of people’s aspirations in the utilization of Trowulan to create amodel for community-based Trowulan utilization. Our model has produced benefits to social welfare and national identity. All aspects are related with each other to provide feedback (management board, legal aspect, blueprint, funding) so that it becomes strong and sustainable management. Keywords: Cultural Heritage, Conservation, Region, the Management board, Trowulan
