At first the Dutch East Indies government policy towards Islam was wrong, because Islam in the Dutch East Indies was considered a strict religion like the hierarchical priesthood and the pope in Christianity where there was a high relationship of loyalty to the Turkish caliph, so that Islam was considered a formidable enemy. Starting with the implementation of a massive policy by the Dutch East Indies government to suppress Muslims, for example, one of them was in terms of limiting and heavier the regulations for the implementation of the pilgrimage, but in reality, regardless of the obstacles, the frequency of going on hajj was still high. Awareness of the mistakes in political policy towards Islam, the figure of Cristian Snouck Hurgronje, one of the supporters of ethical currents in the Netherlands, appeared, submitting a letter to the minister of the colonies on June 2, 1889 to participate in solving problems in the Dutch East Indies. In this case Snouk Hurgronje was the main advisor and was assisted by advisers consisting of one for Arab affairs and two experts in regional languages ​​in the Dutch East Indies. Based on Snouck Hurgronje's advice, the Dutch colonial government distinguished between Islam in the meaning of worship and Islam as a social, social and political force. This policy towards Islam is divided into three categories, namely the socio-religious field, the socio-cultural sector, and the socio-political sector.

Abstrak Tulisan membahas tentang transportasi ibadah haji di masa pemerintahan Hindia Belanda pada tahun 1911-1930 M. Tujuan riset ini adalah untuk mengetahui kondisi transportasi haji, baik dalam arti ekonomis maupun sebagai sarana pendukung bagi perjalanan haji yang ada di pelabuhan Batavia. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian kualitatif, sementara data diperoleh melalui penelusuran literatur dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis ini didasarkan pada teknik heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ada sebuah ironi terkait dengan kebijakan pemerintah kolonial terkait dengan aturan transportasi yang termuat dalam Ordonansi Hajj tahun 1898 – 1922 yang menekankan pada aspek kesehatan fasilitas ibadah. Pembahasan terkait transportasi ibadah haji ini menunjukkan bahwa Pemerintah Hindia Belanda sebenarnya tidak memberikan pelayanan dalam perjalanan ibadah haji, kecuali hanya mementingkan aspek ekonomi saja. Kesimpulan ini diambil berdasarkan fakta bahwa banyak jamaah haji yang sakit dan meninggal dalam kapal angkutan milik pemerintah Hindia Belanda. Kapal ini tidak dilengkapi fasilitas yang memadai dan kabin yang tidak layak untuk perjalanan jauh. Kata kunci: kebijakan kolonial, Hindia Belanda, Transportasi, haji, Batavia  ------- Abstract This paper discusses the transportation of pilgrims at Netherlands Indie in 1911-1930.

Abstract This article compares two Protestant schools for elite indigenous girls in the Dutch East Indies. While both schools were financially supported by the colonial government, they emerged from Christian organizations and were partly dependent on voluntary gifts from the Netherlands and the colony. The article proposes to look at such philanthropic initiatives as integral parts of a larger colonial civilizing mission which was not limited to the colonial state. On the contrary, discourses about the implementation of “civilized” gender roles within indigenous families through girls’ education first emerged among philanthropists, and eventually influenced state-driven educational policies for girls. It is argued that philanthropical initiatives for girls’ education such as the two schools presented here are best understood as attempts to gain control over, and ultimately reform, the domestic lives of the indigenous population in the Dutch East Indies

Abstract During the early twentieth century, strong nationalistic ideas sprang up in Indonesia. Some Chinese elites in professional positions under the Dutch colonial government tended to side with the Dutch with the pro-Dutch attitude; some working for Chinese newspapers or agencies developed the pro-China stance; some supported and cooperated with the indigenous people with the pro-independence tendency; and others had their inclinations transformed over the course of time. After examining the life history of a few prominent Chinese figures, this article shows that three levels of factors—international politics in East Asia, local politics in the Dutch East Indies, and their life histories under Dutch rule (together with travel experience to China)—were critical for each Chinese person in establishing or transforming their often hybrid political orientations. The Chinese preference was neither monolithic nor settled, so the general assumption that “Chinese people are loyal to China” in Indonesian politics of the colonial era should be revised.

Bandung experienced a rapid urban development after 1918, when the city was prepared to be the new Dutch East Indies’ capital city, replacing Batavia. In the era of economic liberalization, Bandung also became one of the tourist destinations that has promoted by the businessmen. This paper is a study on how mass tourism as the new urban culture in the beginning of 20th century had a contribution to urban planning in Bandung. The timeline was after the establishment of train as a modern transportation in Bandung (1884) until the end of the Dutch Colonialism in Dutch East Indies (1942). Through the Georg Simmel's theory of sociology and the city, I tried to analyze the the tourism activity and its relations to the 20th century urban architecture in Bandung, West Java. I use the method that was introduced by Iain Borden and friends in The Unknown City to understand tourism and urban history of Bandung through the spatial practice, city representation and experiences.

This article examines the dynamics of the indigenous people of the Dutch East Indies' access to education during the Dutch Etichal Policy period. Considering that, the Netherlands was the longest-running country exploiting the Indies, the country was obliged to bear the burden of reciprocation on their colony. The burden of reciprocity was realised through an Ethical Policy that has three programs. They are irrigation, transmigration, and education. Of the three, Education was the program that had major impacts on the Indonesian national movement. This research used historical method. The result of this research showed us that although education had succeeded in undermining the Dutch colonial domination, the education during the Dutch Etichal Policy period was not fully given as a whole by the colonial government. Instead, it was very limited. The Dutch colonial policies, especially the one concerning education were driven by their interest of economic benefits for themselves over the improvement of the indigenous people of the Dutch East Indies' welfare.   Artikel ini membahas mengenai dinamika akses pendidikan bagi pribumi saat berlangsungya Politik Etis. Seperti yang diketahui, Belanda sebagai negara yang terlama mengeksploitasi Hindia Belanda membuat negara tersebut menanggung beban balas budi terhadap koloninya. Beban balas budi tersebut terwujud melalui program Politik Etis yang memiliki tiga program, yakni irigasi, transmigrasi, dan edukasi. Dari ketiga itu, pendidikan merupakan salah satu program Politik Etis dan salah satu program yang memiliki dampak besar bagi pergerakan nasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode historis dengan analisis studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan meskipun pendidikan berhasil meruntuhkan dominasi kolonial, pendidikan saat periode Etis pun tidak serta merta langsung diberikan begitu saja oleh pemerintah kolonial meskipun tujuan Politik Etis adalah balas budi, pemberian pendidikan diberikan secara serba terbatas. Kebijakan-kebijakan pemerintah kolonial, khususnya di bidang pendidikan didorong oleh kepentingan keuntungan ekonomi bagi mereka sendiri alih-alih oleh motif untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan rakyat setempat.

Pabrik Gula Gunungsari merupakan pabrik gula yang didirikan oleh Handels Vereeniging Amsterdam atau HVA pada awal abad ke-20 Masehi. Pabrik gula yang dimaksudkan untuk menjadi sister factory atau pabrik pendukung dari Pabrik Gula Jatiroto ini merupakan bagian dari rangkaian rencana percobaan HVA dalam merevolusi industri gula di Hindia Belanda. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis apakah terdapat kesalahan dalam bidang perencanaan pemilihan lokasi pembangunan pabrik gula yang berkaitan dengan berhentinya operasi pabrik gula ini. Metode penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan penalaran induktif. Data yang dianalisis secara spasial diperoleh dari hasil survei arkeologi di Pabrik Gula Gunungsari dan kajian pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketergantungan yang sangat tinggi akan besarnya modal usaha serta anggapan dapat terpenuhinya target yang terlalu ambisius menyebabkan pemilihan lokasi pembangunan pabrik menjadi suatu hal yang merugikan bagi HVA sendiri. Gunungsari Sugar Factory had been established by Handels Vereeniging Amsterdam or HVA in the early of 20th century. The factory which was intended to be a sister of the Jatiroto Sugar Factory was part of a series of HVA trial plans to revolutionize the sugar industry in the Dutch East Indies. This paper aims to analyze whether there is a failure when selecting the location of the factory related to the cessation of its own operation. This method used is descriptive with inductive reasoning. The data analized in spatial were obtained from the survey conducted at the Gunungsari Sugar Factory and literature review. The results show that high dependence on the amount of venture capital, and the assumption that ambitious targets can be achieved, have made the selection of a factory construction location become a major weakness for HVA.
