Morphostructure Control Towards the Development of Mahawu Volcanic Complex, North Sulawesi Indonesian Journal of Geology, Vol. 7 No. 1 March 2012: 39-54 Morphostructure Control Towards the Development of Mahawu Volcanic Complex, North Sulawesi Kontrol Morfostruktur Terhadap Perkembangan Kompleks Gunung Api Mahawu, Sulawesi Utara S. PoedjoPrajitno Centre for Geological Survey, Geological Agency, Jln. Diponegoro No. 57 Bandung, Indonesia 40122 AbstrAct The studied area, situated in northeastern part of North Sulawesi Arm, is dominantly occupied by the Mahawu, Linau, Tompusu, and Kasurutan volcanic rocks. Using remote sensing data, such as landsat image, black and white panchromatic aerial photograph, and IFSAR image, morphology-origin unit and morphology lineament can be interpreted. Four morphology-origin units, those are Mahawu Volcano Complex, Intra-montane Plain structure, Linau Volcano Complex, and Lacustrine Plain are recognized. Furthermore, morphological lineament pattern was statistically processed to find out the general stress direction in the area to determine the probability of the structural morphology occurrence in the Mahawu Volcano Complex. The result shows that generally the development pattern of volcanic cones are irregular, except the Mahawu Volcano Complex showing a linear pattern. This lineament pattern is interpreted as a NW - SE fault pattern controlling the rise of magma. At least, two tectonic and two eruption periods occurred regularly at different time from the Quaternary age till the present. Keywords: morphostructure, Mahawu Volcano cone, fault, lineament, magma, North Sulawesi Arm Sari Daerah penelitian, yang terletak di bagian timur laut Lengan Utara Sulawesi, didominasi oleh batuan vulkanik hasil kegiatan Gunung Api Mahawu, Linau, Tompusu, dan Kasurutan. Dengan menggunakan data inderaan jauh, yakni citra landsat, foto udara pankromatis hitam-putih, dan citra IFSAR, satuan bentukan- asal dan kelurusan morfologi ditafsirkan. Empat satuan bentukan-asal, yakni kompleks Gunung Api Mahawu, struktur dataran antar-gunung, Kompleks Gunung Api Linau, dan dataran danau telah terdeteksi. Selanjutnya pola kelurusan morfologi diolah secara statistik untuk penentuan arah umum tegasan dan kemungkinan kehadiran morfologi strukturnya. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa arah pertumbuhan kerucut gunung api tidak berpola, kecuali arah pertumbuhan kompleks kerucut Gunung Api Mahawu yang memperlihatkan garis lurus. Pola kelurusan kerucut gunung api ini ditafsirkan sebagai pola sesar berarah barat laut - tenggara yang mengontrol keluarnya magma ke permukaan. Dua periode tektonik dan dua periode erupsi yang teratur dan tidak pernah bersamaan telah terjadi di daerah kajian pada kala Kuarter hingga sekarang.

Explain about the origin of the press in Minahasa land when the newspaper of Tjahaja Sijang published since year 1869, about the development of the Minahasan press in Dutch East Indies, explain about develompment of the Minahasan press tandem with the national movement for freedom and for the independence of the Indonesia. Exposure of the pioneers and leaders of the Minahasan press in the colonial time. Keyword: press, colonial, Minahasa, North Sulawesi, kawanua, newspaper, journalism I. PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Penyelidikan sejarah pers merupakan sebuah penelitian yang begitu kompleks sebab selain sebagai media komunikasi sosial-kemasyarakatan, pers juga menjadi media komunikasi politik, komunikasi keagamaan, dan lain sebagainya. Oleh karena itu pers sebagai bagian dari kegiatan jurnalistik, pers merupakan sebuah bagian dari ilmu komunikasi yang menjadi jembatan antara pencari berita dengan sumber berita. Keberadaan pers di daerah Minahasa memberi kontribusi yang besar terhadap perkembangan intelektual dan kesadaran sosial masyarakat Minahasa. Penyelidikan sejarah pers terlebih dahulu memahami pengertian dari kata pers . Kata pers berasal dari bahasa Belanda pers . Kata pers tersebut berasal dari bahasa Latin pressare yang berarti “tekan” atau “cetak”. Kata “pers” dalam bahasa Belanda berarti “alat pemeras/penekan; alat pencetak buku, surat kabar; surat kabar, harian”.

    Minahassa, a summarized history Dirk Teeuwen MSc, Holland Dirk Teeuwen 1996> Contents Introduction 1.Interference from Europe 2. Dutch supremacy 3. Establishment of Dutch authority in Minahassa 4. Important dates 5. Aftermath 6. Maps Sources and notes Minahassan farmer 1935 Introduction I travelled through Minahassa, North Celebes/Sulawesi in 1996. Zig-zag from Manado-Bunaken to Gorontalo. Then, in 1996, I estimated that around 20% of the Minahassans were still able to speak Dutch. No surprise, because I knew some headlines of Minahassan history. Minahassa is very special in the field of colonial history in general, as well as in the field of Dutch colonial history. That goes too, in particular, for Dutch Protestant missionary history. The Dutch period was handled by the Minahassans in a intelligent way very much. The Dutch colonial policy concerning Minahassa was very special as well. This summarized history is composed with full admiration of Minahassans, admiration of Dutch colonial policy in North Celebes, as well as of Dutch Protestant missionary efforts there. 1 1935 Maps in chapter 6 2 1. Interference from Europe During the second half of the 16 th century, both Portuguese and Spanish arrived in North Celebes. Celebes is called Sulawesi now, but from here I shall use the name from the olden days: Celebes. In 1512 the Portuguese set foot ashore in the Moluccan islands Banda and Amboina. The Muslim Sultan of Ternate – he held some sway over the Minahassa area in North Celebes - entered into a treaty with the Portuguese, a treaty aimed against the Sultanate of Tidore and against the Spaniards.

The ASEAN National Tourism Organizations (ASEAN NTOs) formulated a Plan of Action for ASEAN Co-operation in Tourism which includes the facilitation of investment within the region. Tourism has become a key industry and an important generator of income and employment for countries in the region. The rapid growth of tourism in recent years has attracted the interest of potential investors who are keen to be involved in this industry. One of the measures under the Implementation of Roadmap for Integration of Tourism Sector (Tourism Investment) is the Incentives for Development of Tourism Infrastructure (Measure no. 20). The objective of this measure is to provide incentives for the development of tourism infrastructure so as to encourage private investment in the ASEAN countries coming from investors within and outside the region.
