This research programme was funded generously by the Dutch Ministry for Health, Welfare and Sport (Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport). The stated aim of the Indonesia across Orders programme was ‘a broadly based historical investi- gation focusing particularly on the social and economic consequences of the Japanese occupation and the subsequent Bersiap and revolutionary period, as well as the decolonization process, for the different population groups in the different regions of the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia’. The fact that the research for this book was undertaken in the context of a large programme has had various consequences. The programme laid down important parameters: the focus on social change in the cities, the period 1930-1960, and the ambition to somehow cover the whole country.

  • Intercultural Communication Competence Developed by Chinese in Communicating with Malays in Bangka Island, Indonesia∗
    Sino-US English Teaching, April 2015, Vol. 12, No. 4, 299-309 doi:10.17265/1539-8072/2015.04.009 D DAVID PUBLISHING Intercultural Communication Competence Developed by Chinese in Communicating With Malays in Bangka Island, Indonesia∗ Deddy Mulyana Agustina Zubair Padjadjaran University, Bandung, Indonesia University of Mercu Buana, Jakarta, Indonesia This study aims to explore the cultural identity of Chinese related to their self-perception, their perception of Malays, and their communication with the Malays in Bangka Island, Indonesia, emphasizing the Chinese intercultural communication competence in terms of their self-presentation in business relationships with the Malays. The study employed an interpretive approach, more specifically the symbolic interactionist and dramaturgical tradition. The researchers focused on intercultural communication experiences and competence as enacted by the 25 Chinese in the area of the research. The study used in-depth interviews with the Chinese as the main method with some observation of the Chinese communication with the Malays. The researchers also interviewed eight Malays as additional subjects of the research to corroborate the research findings. The study found that the Chinese in Bangka Island perceived themselves as open and willing to mingle with the Malays. They are hospitable, hardworking, tenacious, frugal, and fond of maintaining long-term relationships. In contrast, in the Chinese view, the Malays are open and willing to mingle with others, obedient to the teachings of Islam, but they are lazy and are keen on being flattered, consumptive, and easily seduced. In terms of their intercultural communication competence, the Chinese are skillful in their self-presentation by employing various verbal and nonverbal tactics to adjust themselves to the interpersonal, group, and business situations where they encounter the Malays in their everyday lives.

  • Adaptation of Chinese Settlement for Environment and Local Tradition in Musi Riverside, Palembang – Indonesia
    Applying Local Knowledge for Livable Space ADAPTATION OF CHINESE SETTLEMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT AND LOCAL TRADITION IN MUSI RIVERSIDE, PALEMBANG – INDONESIA Alfred1, Rumiati R. Tobing2, Uras Siahaan3 1Doctoral Student, Parahyangan Catholic University, INDONSIA, [email protected] 2 Co-Promotor, Parahyangan Catholic University, INDONSIA, [email protected] 3 Promotor, Christian University of Indonesia, INDONESIA, [email protected] ABSTRACT Chinese communities arrived in Palembang at the 7th century, aimed to trade and to establish settlements on the Musi riverside. In order to survive, they adapted to the local environment and tradition. There are three types of adaptations, i.e., behavioral adaptation, adaptation of form, and adaptation of function. Behavioral adaptation is characterized by applying a maritime life, which is to harness the potential of the river to meet the needs of everyday life. Chinese communities also implemented Pancalang Lima and Batanghari Sembilan as local beliefs which is used in determining the position and orientation of the house. Adaptation of form is represented in the similarity of physical form and spatial order of Chinese residents with that of the arrangement of indigenous settlement. Adaptation of function is represented in the use of space and spatial interior in the neighborhood. Understanding the process of adaptation of Chinese settlement on the Musi riverside was performed by elaborating the physical form of architecture and interpreting it to Pancalang Lima and Batanghari Sembilan as a guide for the locals to develop their settlement. Thus, architecture can be used as a form of adaptation to the environment and tradition of local communities on the Musi riverside. Keywords: adaptation, Chinese residential, riverside environment, tradition.

  • Monday 25Th May Indonesia Pop: Approximately 273
    Monday 25th May Indonesia Pop: Approximately 273 million Muslim: 83% “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chron 7:14 Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands, of which 6,000 are believed to be inhabited. There are five main islands; Java, Sumatra, Borneo (shared with Malaysia), Sulawesi and Papua (shared with Papua New Guinea). It is a lush, tropical country with palm trees, white sandy beaches and clear, turquoise water, attracting many tourists each year. The global coronavirus crisis has led to a huge loss in the tourist trade there, causing severe economic hardship for many. This was already a country that suffered from much poverty and is also prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and other natural disasters. It is now suffering from the coronavirus outbreak among its population - it may have only registered its first coronavirus case in March but by mid-April, Indonesia was second only to China for coronavirus deaths in Asia. As the world's largest archipelago, Indonesia's size and remoteness, puts it in a position that very few other nations face. Even in good times its healthcare system is poor, particularly in remote areas. There are approximately 273 million people living there, making it the largest and most populous country in South East Asia and the fourth most populous country in the world. It has the world’s largest Muslim population - 225 million Muslims live there.

    Journal of Malay Islamic Studies Vol. 1 No. 1, June 2017 ARAB COMMUNITIES ADAPTATION PATTERNS IN PALEMBANGSOCIO-HISTORICALSTUDY OF THE PEOPLE IN KAMPUNG AL MUNAWAR Henny Yusalia Faculty of Dakwah and Communication Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Arab communities who live in Kampung Al Munawar can be regarded as one of the oldest Arab ethnic settlements in Palembang. They came with the intention of bringing trade missions and religious symbols of Islam.
