The events of the Gayo-Alas War that occurred between the Gayo-Alas people against the Dutch colonial marked the end of the Aceh War. This bloody conflict also marked the Gayo Plateau region, especially Takengon, which was occupied by the Dutch colonial authorities. Since then, Takengon, which was originally just an inland region of Aceh, has begun to grow, especially its infrastructure. Therefore, this study aims to examine the infrastructure that was built in the colonial era (1904-1942). The method used in this study is the historical method, which consisted of five analytical stages, namely topic selection, heuristics, leverage, interpretation, and historiography. The results of the study show that since the Dutch colonial came to the Gayo Takengon Plateau in 1904, Takengon was more developed comparing to previous period, all of which was inseparable from infrastructure development by the Dutch colonial. Some of the infrastructures were built successfully, there were the main road between Bireuen and Takengon, central government, Dutch and Tionghoa society, market, and Dutch school.  The development of infrastructure also has had an impact for Takengon's area, such as the new society along Bireuen-Takengon highway, and the construction of Takengon-Gayo Lues' road. In addition, the opening of the road was aimed at opening the Dutch plantations and the private sector has  made the emergence of the society's settlements, like in Redelong, Pondok Baru (Janarata), Lampahan and Isaq.

The experiment with administrative decentralization in Indonesia started with a new law that was enacted in 1903. The European civil servants believed that this law would protect their position, and they did not foresee two processes that were to gradually undercut this very position. First, the citizens in the municipal councils seized the opportunity to acquire a real degree of autonomy. Secondly, the council became a platform where the Indonesian members voiced their grievances from the 1920s onwards. After the Dutch colonial era, and in particular during the Japanese period and the years of Guided Democracy, the municipalities lost most of their leeway for formulating an autonomous policy and devising budgets to the central government. Now, starting with Law 5 issued in 1973, the New Order government of Indonesia has again embarked on the path of administrative decentralization.

Artikel ini membincangkan pembauran antara kaum bumiputra, terutama masyarakat Sunda dan etnis Cina di Kota Garut, Jawa Barat sejak zaman kolonial Belanda hingga post kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia (RI) 1945. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode sejarah yang terdiri empat tahap, yakni heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Untuk membantu eksplanasi tentang pembauran itu, penulis menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi, antropologi, psikologi, dan ilmu politik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada dua faktor yang menyulitkan terjadinya pembauran antara kaum bumiputra dan kelompok etnis Cina. Faktor pertama, yaitu akar sejarah yakni status kelompok etnis Cina lebih tinggi daripada golongan bumiputra. Faktor kedua, perasaan Chinese Culturalism yang masih tertanam kuat di kalangan  kelompok etnis Cina. Akibatnya, perasaan itu mengarahkan mereka kepada sikap untuk senantiasa berorientasi kepada budaya leluhurnya yang memang sudah tua. Kedua faktor tersebut menyebabkan eksistensi masyarakat etnis Cina di Kota Garut, baik sebelum dan sesudah kemerdekaan Indonesia. This article discusses integration between indigenous, especially Sundanese people and group of Chinese ethnic in Garut City, West Java since the Dutch colonial era until the post independence of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) 1945. Method used in this research is  historical method consisting of four steps, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. To assist the explanation of the assimilation, the author uses social sciences, especially sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science. The conclusion of this research  appears to be two factors causing the difficulty of asimilation between Sundanese people and ethnic Chinese group. The first factor, the historical roots in which the Dutch Colonial Government classified Chinese ethnic group into higher position of legal and social than Sundanese people. The second factor, a strong sense of Chinese Culturalism that is still embedded in Chinese ethnic groups, namely a sense that always glorifies the culture of its ancestors. As a result, that a sense leads them to the attitude of always being oriented to the ancient culture of their ancestors. Both factors led to the existence of Chinese ethnic communities in Garut City, increasing prominently, both before and after Indonesian independence.

The arrival of the Dutch in Jambi gave the impression of almost coincidence because Jambi was not familiar and not a large sultanate in Sumatra compared to Aceh. Even Jambi as a relatively small and unimportant kingdom in the 19th century. However, during the colonial era, some penetrations made to the Sultanate of Jambi. This study examines several factors that caused resistance from the rulers and local people of Jambi against the Dutch colonial power. By using a historical method that emphasized on the secondary sources, this study identifies those factors to make penetration. It shows that economic factors in which the Dutch monopoly trading system is not acceptable to the rulers and local people. It is detrimental and contrary to freedom of trade. Meanwhile, colonial expansion is contrary to the ethical principles they profess. In addition, the failure of the Jambi sultanate had the weakness of their political institutions in facing Dutch colonial penetration. The weakness of their political institutions is influenced by the poor main foundation of the empire and the values of the royal tradition.

This paper aims to explore qualitatively the concept of implementing public policy in infrastructure development in the Municipality of Surabaya. That the number of roads in Surabaya is not balanced with the increase in the number of vehicles. For this reason, the central government proposed the construction of a mid-city toll road, but the Surabaya Municipality Government refused because the construction of the city toll road was considered unable to solve the Surabaya traffic problem, namely congestion. So that the Surabaya Municipality Government still wants to build infrastructure, namely the frontage road, on the east and west of Ahmad Yani frontage road. The construction of the frontage road, it has reduced traffic congestion on Ahmad Yani frontage road, especially around Wonokromo and East Java Province Logistics Agency. The construction of Ahmad Yani frontage road is also a form of innovation in the implementation of public policy because so far the regional government has always followed what was suggested by the central government. In the next development, Surabaya Municipality not only built a frontage road, it was only limited to road Ahmad Yani, because in the future it was expected to connect to the road in the Sidoarjo Regency.

Regency is included in the category of underdeveloped regions and has the highest poverty rate in Banten Province. Therefore, the Regional Government of Pandeglang together with the central government has sought to develop the potential of the region with various policies, one of which is the Development of the Special Economic Zone of Tanjung Lesung. Various government policies and the needs of the community, the private sector towards residential space, pushed the northern and southern regions of Pandeglang to experience greater population density. This condition raises a new culture from the local community, namely making the residence and area adjacent to the road as a micro business. The micro business continues to be developed by the government, although it is contrary to the policy of the Pandeglang Regency RTRW.
