Since then, both conflict and compromise have occurred among the Europeans, Malays and Chinese, as well as other regional minorities, resulting in two regional dichotomies: (1) socially, the indigenous (Malays) vs. the outsiders (Europeans, Chinese, etc.); (2) politically, the rulers (Europeans and Malay nobles) vs. those ruled (Malays, Chinese). These features have a direct impact on economic development. A retrospective survey of regional political development and demographic features are therefore needed to provide a context for the later analysis of economic development. 1. Political development The formation of Singapore, Johor and the Riau Islands was far from a sudden event, but a long process starting with the decline of the Johor-Riau Sultanate in the late eighteenth century. In order to reveal the coherency of regional political transformations, the point of departure of this political survey begins much earlier than the researched period here. Political Development and Demographic Features 23 The beginning of Western penetration (pre-1824) Apart from their geographical proximity, Singapore, Johor and the Riau Islands had also formed a natural and inseparable part of various early unified kingdoms in Southeast Asia.

    The Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, in its 50th Anniversary Year, presents THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM on the MALAY MUSICAL ARTS OF INDONESIA’S RIAU ISLANDS Theme: Sound, Body Movement, Drama and Hierarchy in the Malay World/ Suara, Gerak Tubuh, Drama dan Hirarki dalam Seni Musik Kepulauan Riau Date: Wednesday 14th to Friday 16th January, 2015 Place: The Music Auditorium, Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, Clayton Campus, Monash University, Melbourne Actress Uci Saptarini in her princess’ costume making up the face of one of her ladies-in-waiting before a mendu theatre performance on Bunguran Island, Natuna, Riau Islands Province, 20 January 2013. Photo: Karen Kartomi Thomas. 1 BACKGROUND: The Symposium will investigate sound, body movement, drama, hierarchy and socio-historical context in the musical arts of (i) the mainly Muslim Malays who live on the more accessible, partly industrialising islands of the Riau archipelago (Kepri) and (ii) the Orang Suku Laut/Sea Nomads living in areas that are relatively untouched by modernisation. Both the sedentary and the sea-nomadic Malays are heirs to the arts of the Riau-Lingga-Johor & Pahang kingdom (its official name in the Riau Islands) which formerly covered the present-day province of Kepri. The kingdom traces its heritage back to Bukit Siguntang (Siguntang Hill) in the 7th century CE, followed by its subsequent re-locations in Bintan, Singapore, Melaka, Johor, Pahang and Daik- Lingga, including that of the Viceroy at Penyengat from the mid- to late- 18th century until 1911. The Symposium will adopt an across-the-arts approach in its study of the styles and syntax of the music, dance, theatre, bardic arts, martial arts, and popular commercial arts in relation to the Kepri people’s history; lifestyles; royal Malay heritage; religious, socio-political and gender ideologies, and the sustainability of the arts.

  • The Visual City Branding of Tanjungpinang City – Riau Islands Mariati1*
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 512 Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Folklore, Language, Education and Exhibition (ICOFLEX 2019) The Visual City Branding of Tanjungpinang City – Riau Islands Mariati1* 1Department of Visual Communication Design, Universitas Tarumanagara, Jakarta, Indonesia. *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The uniqueness of Tanjungpinang, the capital of Riau Islands Province, Indonesia has a potential of developing its city branding broadly. This study aims to give a visual recommendations for Tanjungpinang as part of their city branding with its Malay-Chinese history and culture. The data collected by conducting forum group discussion, interview, and observation. Firstly, Focus group discussion was held with participant who has been living in the city for more than 20 years and describe with one word how they feel and think about Tanjungpinang. As they stated, “island”, “beaches”, “food”, “seafood”, “cultural festival”, and “people culture” defined Tanjungpinang the most. We also collect the data from in-depth interview with stakeholders who have had a big impact to the development of Tanjungpinang. Secondly, we observe the everyday daily routine and its environment to complete the visual. Thirdly, we identify and ilustrate the visuals and other design elements of Tanjung Pinang’s visual identity such as the color scheme, the typical motifs, the characteristics of people, the culture, the culinary and the coastal tourism as visual recommendations. The result shows that the visual city branding of Tanjungpinang city can be created and built by identify the uniqueness which are from its culinary (gong-gong, otak-otak and ikan dingkis), its coastal tourism (kelong,coral reef, and coconut), its characteristics of people (friendly and warm characters), its cultural activities (togetherness, hardworking, and teamwork delivered through objects such as pompom, becak, and dragonboat).

  • Contesting Boundaries in the Riau Archipelago
    CAROLE FAUCHER Contesting boundaries in the Riau Archipelago The fall of the New Order and the implementation of the regional autonomy laws have provided fresh opportunities for the local elite to promote and consolidate their own sphere of influence. As has already been the case in a number of provinces and districts, instances of conflict have spread, often in the context of power struggles and highly complex social and political restructurings (H. Schulte Nordholt 2002). In many cases, these conflicts are popularly articulated through the language of ethnic and religious identity politics. Similarly, ethnic and religious sensitivities which were consciously repressed during the period of the New Order, are now exposed. The Riau Archipelago (or Kepri from Kepulauan Riau) had been so far largely spared from acute tensions and mounting violence. However, among the urban middle class and between generations ideological polarization has taken place. The different attempts to conceptualize ‘Masyarakat Kepri’ – the society of Kepulauan Riau – by politicians and public intellectuals seems to demonstrate how an increasing emphasis on regional identity has gradually superseded a more general concern with the nation. The discussion about the character of the newly formed province of Kepri has oscillated over the past years between the aristocrats’ ideal of reverting to the era of the sultanate, and an image of an industrial oriented pluralistic society, advocated by business people, which is strong and autonomous enough to compete economically with Singapore and Malaysia. The proximity to Malaysia and Singapore has created an interesting para- dox. On one hand, Singapore and Malaysia have been a source of identity for the Malays in the Riau Archipelago as important economic and cultural power bases.

  • The Geologic Potentials of Riau Islands Province and Its Development Design
    Jurnal Perspektif Pembiayaan dan Pembangunan Daerah Vol. 5. No.3, January – March 2018 ISSN: 2338-4603 (print); 2355-8520 (online) The geologic potentials of Riau Islands Province and its development design Emi Sukiyah1); Vijaya Isnaniawardhani1); Adjat Sudradjat1); Fery Erawan2) 1) Faculty of Engineering Geology, Padjadjaran University 2) Task Force Unit, Ministry of Public Works and Settlement, Riau Islands Province Correspondence e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Geologically Riau Islands is located in the topography of the old stadium erosion. The morphology is characterized by smooth hills with convex slopes and alluvial plain consisting of the erosion products. The morphology exhibits the remnants of peneplain that submerged at ca 13,000 BP now forming Sunda Shelf with the average depth of 120 meters. The irregular coast’s line of almost all the islands in Riau Islands characterized the submerged old morphologic stadium. The lithology consists of granites and metasediments. Granites contain various types of economic minerals. The weathered granites produce bauxite, kaolin and quarts sands. The metasediments are generally soft resulting in the formation of valleys suitable for agriculture and settlements due to the availability of surface and subsurface water. Irregular coastal line provide the bays for harbors. The geological potentials to be developed therefore consists of the provision of stable plain and resistance to landslide and earthquake, the bays suitable for various marine industries, granites for building materials, and base metals. The submarine hydrocarbon basins produce oil and gas. Geologically Riau Islands is very unique because it represents the remnants of the peneplain of Jurassic and Cretaceous age of about 63 to 181 years old now becoming the Sunda shelf which is the largest in the world.
