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.

Tel: 24-7648-0856. E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 20, 2014 Accepted: September 23, 2014 Online Published: November 9, 2014 doi:10.5539/jgg.v6n4p80 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v6n4p80 The research is financed by the Engineering Faculty of Diponegoro University. Abstract Representation of rapid urban growth followed by high rate of land conversion is clearly observed in the case of Semarang Metropolitan. Located in Java Island, this capital city has been performing as the largest urban area in the Central Java Province. This paper aims to examine urban growth pattern in Semarang Metropolitan by applying two main indicators, i.e., (1) additional built-up area 1972-2009 indicated as land conversion, and (2) population change between 1991-2008. Accordingly, distance is regard as an important parameter to further examine the emerging pattern based on the two indicators. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) were used to analyze satellite images and built-up area development from the different periods. The analyses result show that suburbanization has been taken place in Semarang Metropolitan. The emerging pattern is very common in Asian cities as it is very much similar with the pattern in view selected cities in the neighboring countries (Jakarta, Bangkok, Metro Manila).

  • Indonesian Online Tourism Promotion: a Rhetorical and Discoursal Look
    ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics September-December 2015 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Volume 1, Issue 3 Indonesian Online Tourism Promotion: a Rhetorical and Discoursal Look Diah Kristina, Ph. D. Prof. Tulus Haryono M. Ek. , Rara Sugiarti, M. Tourism. Sebofelas Maret University Solo, Indonesia. Abstract The new media offer a much wider opportunity for international recognition including the promotion of tourism destination in Indonesia. This study aims at exploring the ways tourist destinations in Central Java, Indonesia are promoted on the website done by five different online promotion developers. There were 20 online promotional texts scrutinized to see their typical characteristics using theories of Critical Discourse Analysis proposed by Dijk (1998) and Kress (2010). The research findings reveal that generally the online promotional texts were constructed as descriptive genres most of which were composed in simple and compound sentences. There were relatively limited numbers of complex sentences employed. The mental model of the texts typically shows a great concern to the history, philosophy, cultural myth and geographical location of the tourist destinations under discussion. Typical use of imperatives commonly found in advertisements seems to be hardly available. Likewise, rhetorical questions that function to engage readers are unlikely existing in the online promotion of tourist destination of Central Java developed by the Indonesian government and other private agents. In contrast, the online promotion of tourist destination of more developed institutions like the Singaporean and Malaysian government makes use of recount genre that functions as a testimony. For a thicker description of findings, in-depth interviews with English speaking tourists were also conducted.

Frederick Associate Professor of History Josep Rota Director of International Studies KARSONO, SONY. M.A. August 2005. International Studies Setting History Straight? Indonesian Historiography in the New Order (274 pp.) Director of Thesis: William H. Frederick This thesis discusses one central problem: What happened to Indonesian historiography in the New Order (1966-98)? To analyze the problem, the author studies the connections between the major themes in his intellectual autobiography and those in the metahistory of the regime. Proceeding in chronological and thematic manner, the thesis comes in three parts. Part One presents the author’s intellectual autobiography, which illustrates how, as a member of the generation of people who grew up in the New Order, he came into contact with history. Part Two examines the genealogy of and the major issues at stake in the post-New Order controversy over the rectification of history. Part Three ends with several concluding observations. First, the historiographical engineering that the New Order committed was not effective. Second, the regime created the tools for people to criticize itself, which shows that it misunderstood its own society. Third, Indonesian contemporary culture is such that people abhor the idea that there is no single truth.

  • Development of a Composite Measure of Regional Sustainable Development in Indonesia
    sustainability Article Development of a Composite Measure of Regional Sustainable Development in Indonesia Hania Rahma 1, Akhmad Fauzi 2,* , Bambang Juanda 2 and Bambang Widjojanto 3 1 Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia, Kampus UI Salemba, Jakarta 10430, Indonesia; [email protected] 2 Regional and Rural Development Planning, Bogor Agricultural University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia; [email protected] 3 Faculty of Law, Trisaksi University, Jakarta 10150, Indonesia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 September 2019; Accepted: 21 October 2019; Published: 22 October 2019 Abstract: Sustainable development has been the main agenda for Indonesia’s development at both the national and regional levels. Along with laws concerning the national development plan and regional development that mandate a sustainable development framework, the government has issued President Regulation No. 59/2017 on the implementation of sustainable development goals. The issuance of these recent regulatory frameworks indicates that sustainable development should be taken seriously in development processes. Nevertheless, several factors affect the achievement of sustainable development. This paper investigates how economic, social, and environmental factors could be integrated into regional sustainable development indicators using a new composite index. The index is calculated based on a simple formula that could be useful for practical implementation at the policy level. Three measures of indices are developed: arithmetic, geometric, and entropy-based. The indices are aggregated to be used for comparison purposes among regions in terms of their sustainability performance. Lessons learned are then drawn for policy analysis and several recommendations are provided to address challenges in the implementation stages. Keywords: regional sustainable development index; sustainable development; composite index; regional development goals 1.

  • Indonesia – 14-27 July 2009
    Young Guardians in Action Borobudur, Indonesia – 14-27 July 2009 Cultural site The site: This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8 th and 9 th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 m 2. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO’s help in the 1970s. The project and its objectives: Based on the research conducted by the Directorate General for History and Archeology Department of Culture and Tourism of Central Java and Jogjakarta provinces in 2007-2008, the project will address the problems of climate and weathering processes and intense development of the areas surrounding the site, with important changes in land use (e.g. from traditional farming to housing and concrete buildings). The active involvement of the local population is considered a potential solution to these challenges and a key factor in the preservation and promotion of the site: thus the Young Guardians in Action will aim at promoting and highlighting the importance of the World Heritage education to the local people and local students, in particular those enrolled in tourism management courses. The activities: Among the different activities, particular importance will be given to the training of “Young Guardians” on World Heritage sites management and the risks and opportunities of tourism, involving the Tourism department of Central Java and PT Taman Candi Borobudur (the private sector of Borobudur Temple park).
