Administratively, it covers Se- marang Regency, Salatiga City, and Boyolali Regency. Industry and community use groundwater to fulfil their daily need. Increasing number of deep wells that extract groundwater will cause some environmental problems, such as lowering groundwater level and subsidence at SGB. Thus, there is a need to assess the adverse impacts of groundwater abstraction. Risk assessment of groundwater vulnerability due to abstraction is the goal of this study. The research method was taking account of weighting of geological parameters, such as response characteristics of the aquifers, characteristics of aquifer storage, aquifer thickness, piezometric depth, and distance from the shoreline to conduct the groundwater vulnerability mapping. It was then overlaid on a map of regional spatial plan to develop the map of vulnerability risk due to abstraction. The groundwater vulnerability due to abstraction is categorized in the medium level. After being overlaid by the land use map, the risk of groundwater vulnerability due to abstraction is classified into three kinds, which are low, medium, and high.

KUSUMA AND R.E. ELSON A note on the sources for the 1945 constitutional debates in Indonesia In 1962 J.H.A. Logemann published an article entitled ‘Nieuwe gegevens over het ontstaan van de Indonesische grondwet van 1945’ (New data on the creation of the Indonesian Constitution of 1945).1 Logemann’s analysis, presented 48 years ago, needs revisiting since it was based upon a single work compiled by Muhammad Yamin (1903-1962), Naskah persiapan Undang-undang Dasar 1945 (Documents for the preparation of the 1945 Constitution).2 Yamin’s work was purportedly an edition of the debates conducted by the Badan Penyelidik Usaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan (BPUPK, Committee to Investigate Preparations for Independence)3 between 29 May and 17 July 1945, and by the 1 Research for this article was assisted by funding from the Australian Research Council’s Dis- covery Grant Program. The writers wish to thank K.J.P.F.M. Jeurgens for his generous assistance in researching this article. 2 Yamin 1959-60. Logemann (1962:691) thought that the book comprised just two volumes, as Yamin himself had suggested in the preface to his first volume (Yamin 1959-60, I:9-10). Volumes 2 and 3 were published in 1960. 3 The official (Indonesian) name of this body was Badan oentoek Menjelidiki Oesaha-oesaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan (Committee to Investigate Preparations for Independence) (see Soeara Asia, 1-3-1945; Pandji Poestaka, 15-3-1945; Asia Raya, 28-5-1945), but it was often called the Badan Penjelidik Oesaha(-oesaha) Persiapan Kemerdekaan (see Asia Raya, 28-5-1945 and 30-5-1945; Sinar Baroe, 28-5-1945).

  • Another Look at the Jakarta Charter Controversy of 1945
    Another Look at the Jakarta Charter Controversy of 1945 R. E. Elson* On the morning of August 18, 1945, three days after the Japanese surrender and just a day after Indonesia's proclamation of independence, Mohammad Hatta, soon to be elected as vice-president of the infant republic, prevailed upon delegates at the first meeting of the Panitia Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia (PPKI, Committee for the Preparation of Indonesian Independence) to adjust key aspects of the republic's draft constitution, notably its preamble. The changes enjoined by Hatta on members of the Preparation Committee, charged with finalizing and promulgating the constitution, were made quickly and with little dispute. Their effect, however, particularly the removal of seven words stipulating that all Muslims should observe Islamic law, was significantly to reduce the proposed formal role of Islam in Indonesian political and social life. Episodically thereafter, the actions of the PPKI that day came to be castigated by some Muslims as catastrophic for Islam in Indonesia—indeed, as an act of treason* 1—and efforts were put in train to restore the seven words to the constitution.2 In retracing the history of the drafting of the Jakarta Charter in June 1945, * This research was supported under the Australian Research Council's Discovery Projects funding scheme. I am grateful for the helpful comments on and assistance with an earlier draft of this article that I received from John Butcher, Ananda B. Kusuma, Gerry van Klinken, Tomoko Aoyama, Akh Muzakki, and especially an anonymous reviewer. 1 Anonymous, "Naskah Proklamasi 17 Agustus 1945: Pengkhianatan Pertama terhadap Piagam Jakarta?," Suara Hidayatullah 13,5 (2000): 13-14.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College Abstract This thesis examines the history of Indonesian nationalism over the course of the twentieth century. In this thesis, I argue that the country’s two main political leaders of the twentieth century, Presidents Sukarno (1945-1967) and Suharto (1967-1998) manipulated nationalist ideology to enhance and extend their executive powers. The thesis begins by looking at the ways that the nationalist movement originated during the final years of the Dutch East Indies colonial period.

Hal inipun juga berlaku dalam penulisan teks recount. Oleh karena itu, siswa harus memerhatikan seluruh elemen tersebut karena mereka dapat membantu penulis dalam menyusun sebuah teks yang baik dan dapat dimengerti. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif sebagai metode penelitian. Data diambil dari sepuluh teks recount yang disusun oleh siswa kelas sepuluh sekolah menengah atas. Untuk menganalisi teks, rubrik penilaian untuk teks recount digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi elemen-elemen penulisan yang terdapat didalam teks. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hampir seluruh siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam mengembangkan dan menyusun ide-ide didalam isi teks recount yang mereka susun. Hasil lain menunjukkan bahwa beberapa siswa gagal dalam meletakkan penjelasan yang sesuai untuk setiap struktur dalam teks recount. Misalnya, siswa meletakkan event sebagai orientation. Tetapi sebagian lainnya telah mengetahui fungsi dari setiap struktur teks recount. Bagaimanapun kebanyakan dari siswa berhasil menggunakan unsur kebahasaan dengan tepat. Kesimpulannya, pekerjaan siswa masih perlu untuk dikembangkan agar dapat menghasilkan karya tulis yang baik terutama untuk teks recount. Oleh karena itu, guru perlu memberikan perhatian lebih pada kelemahan siswa ketika menulis teks recount. Siswa juga perlu untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan mereka dan lebih banyak berlatih dalam menulis khususnya untuk teks recount.

Istilah gambar idoep mulai dikenal saat surat kabar Bintang Betawi memuat iklan tentang pertunjukan itu. Iklan dari De Nederlandsche Bioscope Maatschappij di surat kabar Bintang Betawi menyatakan: “...bahoewa lagi sedikit hari ija nanti kasi lihat tontonan amat bagoes jaitoe gambar-gambar idoep dari banyak hal..”22 Selanjutnya pada tanggal 4 Desember surat kabar itu kembali mengeluarkan iklan yang berbunyi: “...besok hari rabo 5 Desember PERTOENJOEKAN BESAR JANG PERTAMA di dalam satoe roemah di Tanah Abang Kebondjae (MANEGE) moelain poekoel TOEDJOE malem..”23 22 Bintang Betawi.

  • Bab Iv Hasil Penelitian
    BAB IV HASIL PENELITIAN A. MASUKNYA KATOLIK DI NUSANTARA Agama Katolik adalah salah satu agama resmi yang diakui oleh pemerintah Indonesia dari enam agama resmi yang ada. Berbicara tentang agama satu ini tidak terlepas dari pastur, susunan gereja beserta kepengurusannya. Ketiga hal tersebut adalah hal yang sangat vital dalam tubuh tiap-tiap paroki/gereja dalam agama katolik tersebut. Agama katolik sendiri hadir di tanah air dengan membawa Susunan hirarki. Agama katolik masuk dan diajarkan oleh kaum-kaum misionaris yang kebanyakan berasal dari belanda. Misionari-misionari tersebut hadir dengan rombongan masing-masing. Rombongan-rombongan tersebut terbentuk dalam suatu kelompok-kelompok yang disebut ordo/konggregasi/tarekat. Ordo/konggregasi/tarekat yang dimaksud adalah suatu perkumpulan rahib/guru yang dipercayai untuk mewartakan Kerajaan Allah. Siapapun yang ingin menjadi rahib/guru pewarta Kerajaan Allah mereka harus terdidik dan terlatih dengan menempuh pendidikan yang tidak singkat (Wawancara Romo Surya). Sebelum diajarkan oleh kaum-kaum missionaris Belanda, Katolik masuk ke Nusantara tepatnya abad 16 oleh Pater Fransiskus Xaverius, seorang sekretaris organisasi Kerahiban Yesuit (SJ) yang dipimpin oleh Santo Ignatius Loyola sekaligus juga seorang sahabat dari Santo Fransiskus Xaverius. Tahun 1539 raja Juan III dari Portugal meminta penyertaan tahta suci untuk Portugal, sebenarnya Ignatius Loyola menugaskan Pater S. Rodriguez dan Pater N.
