This study explores contemporary newspaper narratives on the devastation caused by the earthquake of 1926 in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra. These narratives become crucial amid the difficulty of finding historical statistical data for disaster studies that depict the chaotic situation caused by natural disasters in the past. Historical methods and methodologies were used in this study to combine fragments of information found in contemporary newspapers, especially those discussing the situation of societies and the policies of the Dutch colonial government in dealing with the earthquake of 1926 in Padang Panjang. This study hopefully opens new insights for the development of disaster disciplines and provides access to the development of the study of the history of disasters in developing countries, particularly in Indonesia.

The study of this study discusses the historical aspects of the political leadership of Prince Asir, ruler of KawedananRupitRawas (1922-1942). RupedRawasKawedanan was a Dutch territory after the fall of the Palembang Sultanate. KawedananRupitRawas was led by Prince Asir as local leader of RupitRawas over the mandate given by the Dutch colonial government. This study uses the History method to explore the Local History of the Palembang Sultanate in the past. The stages of research begin with heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The research findings show that RupitRawasKawedanan at that time had a fertile area that produced natural resources, such as rubber, fruits and others. This area is drained by Rawasriver which then encourages the emergence of trade activities. Prince Asir is a charismatic leader who leads RupitRawas. He is a Dutch colonial leader who is considered capable, intelligent and accomplished and is considered capable of maintaining a commitment to the Netherlands. He was known as a wise leader and left many historical traces at RupitRawasKawedanan. During the struggle for Indonesian independence, Prince Asir was very instrumental in facilitating the Indonesian nation's struggle in Sumatra against the Dutch.

Sejarah panjang sebuah peradaban dapat ditelusuri dalam pelbagai dokumen, termasuk manuskrip. Salah satu manuskrip yang menarik adalah surat-surat Raja Tanette, Sulawesi Selatan. Tulisan ini memaparkan bentuk surat-surat Raja Tanette, gambaran perbudakan, dan mengungkap tokoh yang terlibat dalam perbudakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua metode, yakni kodikologi dan filologi. Metode kodikologi digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk dan format manuskrip, sedangkan metode filologi digunakan untuk membuat edisi teks agar teks dapat dibaca dan dipahami. Dalam analisis disingkap bahwa surat Raja Tanette dapat digunakan untuk menelusuri sejarah kelam masa silam, khususnya perbudakan pada abad ke-18 yang secara legal dilakukan oleh raja dan pemerintah kolonial Belanda. Peristiwa sejarah itu dimuat dalam surat yang indah dan dihiasi dengan motif bunga ros yang melambangkan rasa cinta. Terdapat pula nama-nama tokoh yang terlibat. Penelusuran dokumen sejarah ini mengungkapkan sedikit fakta bahwa budak-budak yang dipaksa bekerja pada masa lalu banyak didatangkan dari Indonesia wilayah timur.Abstract:A long history of civilization can be traced in various documents, including manuscripts. One of the interesting manuscripts is King of Tanette’s letters, the King from South Sulawesi. The study examines forms of the letters, analyzes slavery description, and uncovers characters in- volved in the slavery. The research applies twofold: codicology and philology method. The codicology is used to identify manuscript form and format. While, the philology is applied to make the text  readable and understandable. The analysis  reveals that the King of  Tanette’ letters can be used to trace dark history in the past, particularly the  slavery in the 18th century, which was legally handed over by the King to  the Dutch colonial government. The  history was written on beautiful letters which were decorated by  rose motif,  a symbol of love. They also mentioned names of leaders involved in the slavery. Tracing the history of the document exposes a few facts that the slaves who were forced to work in the past came  from the Eastern Indonesia.

This article discusses the Minangkabau kingdom and its existence as the origin of the Jambi Sultanate. This issue is considered important because at this time there are many people who do not understand the relationship between the kingdoms in the past, which regions are currently included in the kingdoms of these kingdoms. The results of this study are expected to provide an explanation of the main problems proposed and so contribute to the development of knowledge, especially about the local history of Jambi and West Sumatra. Besides, it can be used as material for consideration by related institutions in order to preserve historical and cultural values and for regional development and development. By using a multidimensional approach and supported by the application of historical methods that refer to scientific historical research procedures, it is hoped that the questions raised in the formulation of the problem will be objectively and systematically expressed. The results showed that the Minangkabau area was an old area that had been inhabited by humans at least since the Batu Muda era around 2000 years BC. In the district of 50 Kota there are many Menhir findings which are thought to be from that period. The Minangkabau area is the area where Sang Sapurba's title Datuk Maharaja Diraja descended which in oral tradition is considered the ancestor of the Minangkabau tribe and the Malay family in general and also as a figure who descended the kings who ruled on the island of Sumatra, especially the Malay countries. In the context of Jambi and Minangkabau relations, it can be said that the kings who ruled in the Jambi kingdom were descended from the Minangkabau Kingdom. Putri Selaro Pinang Masak, who in the Jambi royal legend is seen as the founder of the Jambi kingdom, was the son of Ananggawarman who ruled in Pagaruyung from 1376 - 1417 AD. As an old country, Minangkabau has a customary and cultural system that affects the surrounding area, including the Jambi area. A source from the Jambi Malay Customary Institute said that the one who composed Jambi's customs was Datuk Perpatih Nan Sabatang from Pagaruyung, while those from Bandar Jambi were Datuk Ketemanggungan

In the past few years we have unfortunately had several reminders of the ability of a particular type of ocean wave—a tsunami—to devastate coastal areas. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, in particular, was one of the largest natural disasters of past decades in terms of the number of people killed. The name of this phenomenon, tsunami , is possibly the only term that has entered the physics lexicon from Japanese. We use Japanese and Western sources to document historical tsunami in Europe and Japan, the birth of the scientific understanding of tsunami, and how the Japanese term came to be adopted in English.

Sawahlunto is a mining town that enjoyed the glory due to coal exploitation by the Dutch colonial government which began in the 1880s. But in the early 1930s to the end of the 1940s, triggered by successive world economic crises (malaise) and various political upheavals during and some time after the Pacific War, this city has experienced a number of long downturns. This paper looks at the effect of economic decline and political turmoil on a city, in this case the City of Sawahlunto as a mining city. Using modern historical methods (historiography, interpretation, interpretation and writing), with an approach to the history of the city, this article reveals several things: First, in the 1930s, due to the world's crisis, coal production was dimming, this caused no new development of the city. Second, in 1942 the Pacific War took place, Japan ruled over the mining company, and Sawahlunto became worse off. Third, after Indonesia gained its independence until the end of the 1960s, Sawalunto did not receive significant improvements, except for a few rebuilt infrastructures. Thus, economic sluggishness and political riot at the global [and national] level have had a direct influence on a city at the local level.

In this study, we conduct an estimation study of the damage costs, recovery costs, and human losses in the case of natural disasters in the Republic of Korea. This research method analyzed human losses, damage costs, and recovery costs caused by natural disasters that swept across the Republic of Korea over the past 16 years, from 2000 to 2015, including extreme wind, heavy snowfall, typhoon, wind wave, and heavy rainfall. Damage status and trend of occurrence were reviewed for each year’s human losses, damage costs, and recovery costs. We propose a calculating equation of the linear regression equation that estimates damage costs and recovery costs considering human losses. The correlation coefficient was 0.898 for the estimation of human losses and damage costs, and 0.889 for the estimation of human losses and recovery costs. In addition, the correlation of both equations was found to be 166% of damage costs when calculating recovery costs. The results of this study can be used as descriptive statistical data to estimate damage costs and recovery costs according to human losses in case of natural disasters.

AbstractThe draft notes for a proposed history of Ireland compiled by Arthur Annesley, the first earl of Anglesey, and letters to Edmund Borlase, author of The history of the execrable Irish rebellion (London, 1680), which describe the reception of his work in England and Ireland, offer a convenient keyhole through which historians can investigate the craft of history writing in the early-modern period. While there has been much discussion of these authors and their contribution to wider political (and highly partisan) debates concerning the Popish Plot and the Exclusion Crisis, less has been said about the historical methods they employed to understand the past. While this article does not deny that both authors attempted to defend their own political factions and views, it argues that a focus on the partisan nature of their contributions neglects the historiographical context to what they produced. Both Anglesey’s and Borlase’s research and writing occurred at a time of profound change in history writing as readers were becoming increasingly critical of works they read and authors engaged in sustained attempts to understand deep-lying causes of the various crises that engulfed the three kingdoms. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to illustrate how both Anglesey and Borlase’s ‘histories’ reflected this historiographical turn in the late-seventeenth century.

This article presents the ways in which social marketing has been used in Europe, the contribution it has made to tackling major health issues, and the challenges it has faced. The extent to which social marketing is used varies greatly across Europe, although the past decade has seen a rise in EU-wide funded Social Marketing Programs. Despite the inconsistent and rather sporadic use of social marketing in Europe, some of the European aid organizations continue to fund numerous social marketing programs in developing countries. The European social marketing community need to continue to work together to promote its value and gain continued political buy-in for the discipline.

This study discusses the role of women in the Physical Revolution in Bali. The appearance of a woman in the history of politics in Bali as a leader has been seen since ancient Balinese times. However, the rise of women seems to have only been seen when the government established the Shanti Girls School. Armed with knowledge and experience in the field of organization, Balinese women are aware of the importance and meaning of independence for a nation. When the Dutch colonial government and NICA troops returned to occupy Bali in March 1946, women played a very important role in defending the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. Women played various roles, such as in the logistics sector as a member of the soup kitchen in charge of providing various types of food to the fighters; in the health sector by helping fighters who were injured and also supplying various types of medicine to the fighters; as a liaison in charge of conveying information on the state of the fighters and the state of the enemy to the leader of the fighters.
