Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 15 ISSUE 4 (2017), Page 1 - 12 ARE GREEN UNIVERSITIES PRODUCING GREENER FUTURE LEADERS? Raihana Mohd Ghaus1, Rosta Harun2, Lim Kuang Hock3, & Zakiah Ponrahono4 1,3,4Faculty of Environmental Studies UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA 2Institute for Medical Research NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH MALAYSIA Abstract In recent years, studies on campus sustainability have been conducted to measure the impact that universities have on the environment and several mechanisms to measure and rank universities globally on how they perform in sustainability have been proposed. The UI Greenmetrics ranks universities based on sustainable performance ratings and focused more on the initiatives and opportunities provided to achieve sustainability but did not address the issue of environmental literacy among the university students. This study aims to understand how sustainable practices and policies adopted by Green Universities as well as demographic factors relate to the level of environmental attitude and responsible environmental behaviour of Malaysian student leaders. A census survey was carried out on student leaders of Malaysian public universities to assess their level of perception, attitude, personal responsible environmental behaviour (REB) and REB with regards to UI Greenmetrics Criteria. The Mann-Whitney U test conducted revealed that there was no significant difference in the level of the assessed components across all demographic factors between green and non- green universities. Spearman rank order correlation showed that there was a significant positive correlation between perception and personal REB (rs(322) = .385, p ≤ .05) as well student council REB (rs(322) = .542, p ≤ .05). Attitude was found to have a significant negative correlation with student council REB (rs(322) = -.114, p ≤ .05) while a high level of personal REB was significantly correlated with student council behaviour (rs(322) = .579, p ≤ .05).

  • Kearifan Budaya Sunda Dalam Peralihan Kepemimpinan Kerajaan Sunda Di Kawali Setelah Perang Bubat
    KEARIFAN BUDAYA SUNDA DALAM PERALIHAN KEPEMIMPINAN KERAJAAN SUNDA DI KAWALI SETELAH PERANG BUBAT Oleh: Rusya’i Padmawijaya 1 Siti Khodijah 2 ABSTRAK Pemerintahannya, Bunisora Suradipati cenderung sebagai raja yang berkarakteristik religius. Kepiawaian Bunisora Suradipati dalam mengolah kerajaan sangat bagus dan sangat bijaksana. Beliau memegang penuh kestabilan aturan dan norma-norma kenegaraan. Konsep kepemimpinan di Sunda pada waktu pemerintahan Bunisora Suradipati tidak bisa lepas dari dua hal. Pertama, kitab Watang Ageung (satu kitab yang selalu digunakan oleh orang Sunda yang mengadopsi atau meyakini ageman atau kepercayaan Sunda Wiwitan. Yang kedua yaitu dari Siksakandang Karesian. Salah satunya konsep kepemimpinannya ialah dengan menggunakan konsep Tri Tangtu (tiga kunci atau tiga titik pemerintahan). Ketiga kunci tersebut yaitu Resi, Ratu, dan Rama. Tipe kepemimpinan Bunisora Suradipati adalah tipe kepemimpinan demokratis. Pada tahun 1371 Masehi, Bunisora Suradipati menyerahkan tahtanya kepada Niskala Wastu Kancana. Hal itu terjadi karena keluhuran budi Bunisora Suradipati, khususnya kejujurannya, sehingga Bunisora Suradipati menganggap bahwa tahta tersebut merupakan sebuah titipan, sebagai amanat sambil menunggu pewaris tahta yang sebenarnya dewasa, yaitu Niskala Wastu Kancana. Budaya Sunda berdampak besar terhadap kepemimpinan dan tatanan pemerintahan, serta berdampak juga terhadap kehidupan masyarakatnya. Salah satu dampak besar yang terjadi di Kerajaan Sunda setelah terjadinya tragedi Perang Bubat, yaitu “Dilarangnya keluarga

  • The Mandala Culture of Anarchy: the Pre-Colonial Southeast Asian International Society
    The Mandala Culture of Anarchy: The Pre-Colonial Southeast Asian International Society Pandu Utama Manggala Australian National University, Australia Abstract Throughout the years, study on pre-colonial Southeast Asian international relations has not garnered major attention because it had long been seen as an integral part of the China- centred tribute system. There is a need to provide greater understanding of the uniqueness of the international system as different regions have different ontologies to comprehend its dynamics and structures. This paper contributes to the pre-colonial Southeast Asian literature by examining the interplay that had existed between pre-colonial Southeast Asian empires and the hierarchical East Asian international society, in particular during the 13th- 16th Century. The paper argues that Southeast Asian international relations in pre-colonial time were characterized by complex political structures with the influence of Mandala values. In that structural context, the Majapahit Empire, one of the biggest empires at that time had its own constitutional structures of an international society, albeit still sought close relations with China.
