History of Fort Vredeburg

2011-02-14T12:06:00.000+07:00

Dutch Period

Vredeburg fortress stands is closely related to the birth of Yogyakarta Sultanate. February 13, 1755 Giyanti Agreement which berrhasil resolve disputes between Susuhunan Pakubuwono III to Prince Mangkubumi (lane I will) is the result of Dutch politics that always wants to interfere in domestic affairs of the kings of Java at that time. Name Giyanti Agreement, because the treaty was agreed in Giyanti Village, a village located near Surakarta.

Agreement that they put out for interfering VOCs always have the final goal to divide and pit the parties concerned. Similarly Giyanti agreement. Dutch man who was instrumental in the birth Giyanti Agreement is Nicolaas Harting, who was Governor of the Director of the North Coast of Java (Gouverneur en Directeur van Java's noordkust) since March 1754.

In essence the agreement is a manifestation of the attempt to divide the kingdom of Mataram into two parts, namely Kasunanan Sultanate of Surakarta and Yogyakarta. To further Yogyakarta Sultanate ruled by Prince Mangkubumi who then hold a lane Senopati Ing Alogo Adul Gama Rachman Sayidin Panata Khalifatulah I. Being governed by Kasunanan Surakarta Pakubowono III.

The first step taken by the lane I was immediately ordered to build palace. With titahnya Emperor immediately ordered that there is open forest hamlets Beringan Pacetokan. Lane I announce that wilyah the territory was named Ngayogyakarta Adiningrat (Ngayogyakarta) with capital of Yogyakarta. The selection of this name is meant to honor the historic sites that are on Forest Beringan j = age of the late Sri Susuhunan Amangkurat Jawi (Amangkurat IV) is a lovely small town. Inside the palace there is the building that was known for Garjitowati. Then in the days of Sri Susuhunan Pakubowono II reigns Kartasura pesanggrahan name was replaced with Ngayogya. At that time used as a dismissal of the bodies of nobles who will be buried in Imogiri.

This small forest is initially resting place Sunan Pakubuwono II with Garjitowati Pesanggrahan name. To further Ayogya he replaced it with a name (or Ngayogya). Name Ngayogyakarta interpreted the word "Ayuda" and the word "Karta". The word "a" means not and "Yuda" means war. So "Ayuda" implies there is no war or peace. While the "Karta" means secure and peaceful. So Ngayogyakarta can be interpreted as "a safe and peaceful city."

Besides as a powerful warlord lane I is also a great builder. Kraton Yogyakarta Sultanate first built on October 9, 1755. During the ongoing construction of the palace, the Sultan and the family lived in Gamping Ambarketawang Guesthouse, approximately one year. On Thursday Pahing, dated October 7, 1756 but not finished perfectly, the Sultan and the family is pleased to occupy it. Inauguration at the time the king and his family occupied the palace is marked by candra sangkala "Dwi Naga Rasa Singh." In the same year java 1682, dated 13 Jimakir which coincides with the date of October 7, 1756. After the palace began to be occupied and then immediately followed up also other supporting buildings. Palace surrounded by a thick wall. Inside are several buildings with different shapes and functions. Building the residence of sultans and their close relatives called Prabayeksa, completed 1756. Sitihinggil and Exhibition Building was completed in 1757. The gate connecting the ascetic and Kemagangan Fund completed in 1761 and 1762. The Great Mosque was founded in 1771. Large fortress surrounding the palace was completed in 1777. Ward Kencana completed in 1792. Thus the Yogyakarta palace stood with the development of ever happens from time to time. See very rapid progress will kingdom founded by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I, a sense of concern to the Dutch began to emerge. So the Dutch party proposes to the Sultan for permission to build a fort near the palace. Development is the pretext for the Netherlands to maintain the security of the palace and its surroundings. However, behind the pretext that the real purpose of the Netherlands is to facilitate the control of all the developments happening in the palace. The location of the castle which is only one cannon firing distance of the palace and its location overlooking the main road to the palace to be an indication that the function can be used as a fortress castle stragi, intimidation, assault and blockade. It could be argued that the establishment of the fort was intended to keep watch at any time if the sultan looked away against the Netherlands. The amount of power that is hidden behind the political contract that is born in every treaty with the Dutch seemed to be a "force" a tough fight by any indigenous leaders in the Dutch colonial period. In this case also include lane I. Therefore, applications for permission to build a fortress Netherlands, granted. Before the castle was built at its current location (Vredeburg Castle Museum), at the request of the Netherlands in 1760, Sultan HB I have built a fort a very simple square. In the four corners made the place of custody, called seleka or bastion. The four corners of the Sultan was named Jayawisesa (northwest corner), Jayapurusa (northeast corner), Jayaprakosaningprang (southwest corner) and Jayaprayitna (southeast corner).

According to Nicolas Harting a Governor of the Director of the North Coast of Java in Semarang, the fort is the situation is still very simple. Wall of soil reinforced with supporting poles from coconut and palm tree wood. The building in it consists of bamboo and wood with a roof ilalang.Dalam further development while WH Ossenberch replace Nicolas Hartingh, in 1765 proposed to the Sultan for the fort strengthened into a more permanent building to better ensure security. The proposal is granted, then the construction of the castle is done under the supervision of a Dutch scientist named Ir building. Frans Haak. Castle construction began in 1767. According to development plans will be completed that year. But in reality the development process was running very slow and only completed in 1787. This happens because at that time who are willing to hold the Sultan of materials and manpower in the construction of the fort, was occupied with the construction of Yogyakarta Kingdom so that materials and energy are allocated more promised in the palace building. When finished building the fort that has been enhanced is given the name Rustenburg which means "Fortress resort".

In 1867 in Yogyakarta occurred a great earthquake, so many destroyed several large buildings such as Resident Building (built in 1824), Pal Putih Monument, and Fort Rustenburg and other buildings. The buildings are soon to be rebuilt. The fort was held immediately Rustenburg improvements in some parts of the damaged building. When finished building the fort which was originally named Rustenburg changed to Vredeburg which means "Fortress of Peace". The name is taken as a manifestation of the relationship between the Sultanate of Yogyakarta with the Dutch side that is not the time to attack each other.

Form the beginning of the castle remains as built, namely a square. At the four corners of care built space called "seleka" or "bastion". The gate faces west fort surrounded by a moat. Inside are the buildings house officers, soldiers dormitory, warehouse logistics, warehouse gunpowder, hospitals and home resident soldiers. In Vredeburg occupied about 500 soldiers, including medical officers and paramedics. Besides, in the reign of the Dutch East Indies is used as a sanctuary of the resident who was on duty in Yogyakarta. It is very possible because the resident office located opposite the location of Fort Vredeburg.Sejalan with berjadi political developments in Indonesia from time to time, then there is also a change of ownership status and function of the building Vredeburg. The chronological development of the status of land and buildings since the beginning of the construction Vredeburg (1760) until the collapse of the power of the Dutch East Indies (1942) are as follows:

Year 1760 - 1765

At the beginning of its construction in 1760 the status of the land is owned Sultanate. But in its use granted to the Dutch (VOC) under the supervision of Nicolaas Harting, Governor of the Director of the North Coast of Java.

Year 1765 - 1788

Formal judicial status of land and equipment owned by Sultanate but the de facto control of the castle and the land held by the Dutch. Governor's proposal W.H. Van Ossenberg (substitute Nicolaas Hartingh) for building the fort is more refined, implemented in 1767. This period is the period Castle a more targeted improvement in one form stronghold.

Year 1788 - 1799

In this period the status of formal judicial fort land and equipment owned by Sultanate, the de facto controlled by the Dutch. This period is when used properly by the Dutch fort (VOC). Bankruptcy of the VOC in 1799 led to the mastery of the fort was taken over by Bataafsche Republic (the Netherlands). So the de facto become the property of the Dutch royal government.

Year 1799 - 1807

Status formal judicial fort land and equipment owned by Sultanate, but the use of the fort is a de facto become the property of Bataafsche Republic (the Netherlands) under the Governor of Van Den Burg. The fort still work as a base defense.

Year 1807 - 1811

In this period the fort was taken over its management by the Royal Holland. So the formal judicial status of the land still belongs Sultanate, but the de facto become the property of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands under the Governor Daendels.

Year 1811 - 1816

When British rule in Indonesia 1811 - 1816, for while the British occupied the fort under the Governor-General Rafles. But in a short time the Dutch to take over. Formal judicial Sultanate's permanent fortress.

Year 1816 - 1942

Status of land still owned Sultanate fortress, but the de facto held by the Dutch government. Because of the strong Dutch influence the Sultanate party can not do much in overcoming the problem of possession of the fort. Until finally the Japanese Army troops occupied the fort in 1942 after the Dutch surrendered to the Japanese with marked with kalijati Agreement in March 1942 in West Java.

Japanese Period

The fall of Singapore to the Japanese, making the position of the island of Java as the center of the Dutch East Indies government threatened. When about to attack Indonesia, Japan, earlier ruled the oil-producing regions such as the Tarakan in East Kalimantan, Bunyu Island and Balikpapan. Mastery of these areas is essential to support the interests of war by Japanese forces in the Pacific. After Borneo, Sumatra, Japan then attacked the Dumai, New Feed and Palembang. Last new Japanese attacked the island of Java by landing troops in Banten, Indramayu and Banyuwangi. In a short time managed to occupy a strategic place on the island of Java. Until finally, on March 8, 1942, the Dutch surrendered unconditionally to the Japanese in kalijati, West Java. So since that's the Japanese power in Indonesia.

The period of Japanese occupation in Yogyakarta held from March 6, 1942. They immediately occupied the government buildings originally occupied by the Dutch government. The Japanese occupation of the city of Yogyakarta is running very smoothly without any resistance. With the motto of the Three A (Nipon Light of Asia, Asian Leaders and Nipon Nipon Protector Asia), they do the parade by walking and biking to move toward the center of the city of Yogyakarta. This is done to attract the sympathy of the people of Yogyakarta.

March 7, 1942, the Japanese government imposed the Law No. 1 of 1942 that the position of regional leaders still recognized but is under the supervision Kooti Zium Tjokan Kyoku (Japan Governor) who is based in Kantai Tjokan Building (Great House). Center for Army forces stationed in Japan in addition to Kotabaru also in focus at Fort Vredeburg. Japanese troops stationed in Fort Vredeburg is Kempeitei the army's famous choice of hard and cruel.

In addition Vredeburg fort was also used as a place of detention for prisoners of the Dutch and the Indo Dutch who were arrested. Indonesian politicians also were arrested for holding a successful campaign against Japan.

In order to meet the need of weapons, the Japanese army to bring weapons from Semarang. Before distribution to the posts which require a first in the store in Fort Vredeburg. Gunpowder warehouse located in every corner of the fort except in the northeast corner. It was the consideration that the security in the region more secure. Placement of gunpowder warehouse in every corner of the fort is intended to ease when the war abruptly.

Japanese mastery over Vredeburg lasted from 1942 until 1945, when the proclamation has been resounding and the nationalization of the buildings which occupied Japan began to be implemented. During that although the de facto controlled by Japan but formal judicial status of the land still belongs Sultanate.

From the description it can be said that during the Japanese occupation (1942-1945) building functioned as a fortress Vredeburg Kempeitei army headquarters, ammunition storehouse and home detention for the Dutch and the Indo RI Netherlands as well as the politicians who oppose the Japanese.

Period of Independence

Proclamation of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia August 17, 1945 have been reverberating in Jl. Pegangsaan 56 East Jakarta. The news came to Yogyakarta through Domei News Yogyakarta Branch Office (now the Regional Library, Jl. Malioboro Yogyakarta). Head of the Yogyakarta branch Domei news agency at that time were Japanese. Meanwhile, head of radio is Warsono, assisted by other forces, namely Soeparto, Soetjipto, Abdullah and Umar Sanusi.

At noon that day, news of the proclamation of Indonesian independence was greeted with relief by all the people of Yogyakarta. Coupled with the release of the Statement of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX (Statement 5 September 1945) which is then followed by Sri Paku Alam VIII, which contains support for the establishment of a new country, the Republic of Indonesia, the spirit of the people of the more fiery.

As a result there spontaneous actions such as flag raising, deprivation of buildings as well as disarmament of Japan. The strength of the Japanese troops who are in Yogyakarta, led to armed clashes as happened in Kotabaru Yogyakarta. The seizure action vasilitas building or other Japanese-owned, the castle Vredeburg also become one of the targets of action. After the fort occupied by Indonesia for the next party submitted to the agency handling the military which is then used as a dormitory and headquarters troops joined in the forces with the staff code of "Q" under the Youth First Lieutenant Commander Radio, which is in charge of military supplies. So it is not impossible if during this period besides Vredeburg functioned as the headquarters as well as warehouse supplies including weapons, ammunition etc.. In 1946 in the complex Vredeburg Army Hospital was established to serve victims of the fighting. But in its development of the hospital also serves soldiers and their families.

When in 1946 Indonesia experienced a shortage of political conditions when differences in perceptions of the meaning of revolution is happening, then meletuslah event known as "event July 3, 1946", the coup attempt led by Major General Soedarsono. Because it was unsuccessful then the leaders involved in these events such as Mohammad Yamin, Tan Malaka and Soedarsono arrested. As political prisoners they had been stationed at Fort Vredeburg.

At the time of the Dutch Military Aggression II (December 19, 1948) Vredeburg who was used as military headquarters targeted RI bombing planes Netherlands. TKR offices within it were destroyed.

Furthermore Vredeburg be used as Dutch army headquarters belonging to the IVG (Informatie Voor Geheimen), the Dutch secret service troops. Besides Vredeburg also functioned as a dormitory and Dutch soldiers are also used for storing heavy weapons such as tanks, armored and other military vehicles.

Approximately 6 (six) hours of the city of Yogyakarta can be mastered by the TNI and the people of fighters. Only after the Dutch Army reinforcements brought in from Magelang came to Yogyakarta, the TNI and the people backed out of the city and conduct guerrilla struggle.

Although able to occupy the city of Yogyakarta, only about 6 hours, but politically these attacks have an extraordinary meaning. Netherlands lie that has been covered up eventually discovered, and opened the eyes of the international community. So begins the approval Roem - Royen (May 7, 1949), finally on 27 December 1949 the Dutch were forced to admit after the previous RIS sovereignty must go through a long process in RTC (Round Table Conference) held on 23 August - 2 November 1949. The process can not be separated with a large role in Banaran guerrilla radio transmitter, Playen, Gunung Kidul, namely Radio AURI PC-2.

After the Dutch left the city of Yogyakarta, Vredeburg controlled by APRI (Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia). Then the management of the fort handed over to the Military Academy in Yogyakarta. At that time, Ki Hajar Dewantara ever put forward his idea for Vredeburg used as a cultural event. But the idea was stalled because of the event "National Tragedy" Rebellion G 30 S / PKI in 1965.

Typical Jogja Keris

2011-01-15T02:32:00.000+07:00

Keris is one of the most valuable cultural heritage. Not just a weapon, a dagger is also a spiritual work in the past. Talking about the kris, certainly will not be separated from the history of the keris itself.

Keris is considered as a sign of the journey of a civilization, and a culture within a nation in a very long period of time. Even the thousands of years. Keris is also often associated as symbols, ranging authority symbol, a symbol of wisdom, until the symbol of life. Not only that, a multifunctional keris is apparently in antiquity as well positioned as penglaris, and a symbol of greatness. Look at the picture of the kings of Java, and Java heroes, who always carry a keris.

Keris has indeed experienced a shift function. No longer a weapon, a dagger is now a high-value goods and deserve to be collected. Even some people who love and pursue the sciences and the history of the keris.

Starting from love and collectibles that will stand Jogja Keris kris located in Nagan Kulon No.1 Yogyakarta. Although called Jogja Keris, but this is not the place for you could order a kris, here there is no master-masters who forged iron, maker of magic dagger. But here we can get various models kris from various age and different history.

Keris are bought and sold are generally made of steel and iron meteorites. Yes, a meteor that fell from outer space! And most of that wing is kris Yogyakarta and Solo. For the difference, according to Mas Seno, one of the managers, can be seen from the form kerisnya. Keris Solo bigger and longer than the slender shape of the keris Jogja. Keris at Jogja is a keris Keris ascertained from antiquity, the kingdom era of Java. And initially a collection gathered from various regions in Indonesia.

The value of a dagger can not be seen only from the strong (the origin of the keris from the form that comes from a region or era) kris, because menangguh (estimate the origin of the keris) is not an easy thing. Sometimes each person has a different opinion in menangguh. The term old kris Old Mataram expected tough, and resilient young kris Hamengkubuwono VII.

Mas Mas Jumakir and Seno said, the dagger itself is more determined than the overall aesthetic value, among others, viewed from the prestige of his (motif on a keris), one priority, and additional materials, such as gold and diamonds. "There is a dagger that was very old, but the usual prominence and condition was not so good, so its value also fell. But there was not so old dagger, but the good prestige and have high aesthetic value, its value will also be high," said Mas Jumakir.

For the dagger that had a very high value, Mas Jumakir called kris elephant Singo. Kris kris is a gift from the king to his commander who managed to win the battle royal at the time of first. At kris have carved elephant and a lion of gold material.

For the price of a kris, can be viewed from different angles ranging assessment of the hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars. For now, Mas Seno said that coming to the stores not only locals but also people abroad, such as Malaysia and the Netherlands. Not only that, there were also many young people who are interested in and explore the world of the keris.

Although focusing on the dagger, but the Jogja Keris also provide services for all tosan aji, such as spears and swords. In addition to serving the buying and selling, Jogja Keris also serve for maintenance and installation accessories.

Parangtritis Beach

2011-01-15T02:14:00.003+07:00

Parangtritis, the Most Popular Beach in Yogyakarta
Parangtritis is one beach that must be visited, not just because it is the most popular beach in Yogyakarta, but also has close linkages with various other attractions, such as the sultan's palace, Beach Parangkusumo and Merapi region. The beach is located 27 kilometers from the city center is also part of the power of Queen of South.

Naming Parangtritis has its own history. Perhaps, someone named Dipokusumo that an escape from the kingdom of Majapahit came to this area hundreds of years ago to do meditation. When he saw droplets of water that flows from the crack rock, he named this area parangtritis, from the word parang (stone) and tumaritis (water drops). The beach is located in the area that was eventually named similar.
Parangtritis is a beach full of myth, believed to be a manifestation of the unity among which consists of Mount Merapi, the Kraton of Yogyakarta and Parangtritis. This beach is also believed to be a meeting place with Sunan Kalijaga Panembahan Senopati shortly after undergoing hermitage. During the meeting, Senopati reminded to stay humble ruler despite his supernatural powers.

A number of tourist experience can be felt on this coast. Enjoying the natural view that the most important. Natural charm that can spy from different locations and ways that are seen more varied scenery and you also have a different experience. When you are standing on the seashore, is a view of nature that appear the vast open sea with waves of hard and high cliffs on the east side.
To enjoy it, you can just walk from east to west and looked toward the south. In addition, you can also hire the services of gig that will take you through a similar route tirelessly. There is also a bid to explore the beaches on horseback. The cost, you can discuss with the tenant services.

After enjoying the scenery Parangtritis from the seashore, you can go to the cave for a different experience. On the dirt road toward the cave, you can look west and see Parangtritis. The high waves rushing toward the shore will look silvery as the sun, and will be golden by the sun began to redden or at dusk. This exotic scenery could be enjoyed by me while visiting a few days ago.
Satisfied with the landscape you can enjoy the experience of other attractions to the historic sites located around Parangtritis. One of them is Sheikh Bela Belu Cemetery located on the road to the beach. You can ride through the staircase that connects the highway with this sacred hill where the tomb. In general, many pilgrims come on Tuesday kliwon.

From the graveyard, you can challenge yourself to get to the cave, the cave that must be reached by foot as far as 3 km and over a cliff as high as 400 meters with a slope of almost 900. To enter the cave which is also often referred to as the Queen of South Cave, you must request permission from the tomb guard. According to the guard Depok Beach in his youth often down the cave, you can see the scenery more beautiful south sea so successfully entered the cave.

On the 5th of the month 5 in the Chinese calendar, you can see the Peh Cun ceremonial procession in Parangtritis. Peh Cun, derived from the word meaning Peh paddle and cun which means boat, is a form of thanksgiving to God Tioghoa community. This celebration is also intended to commemorate Khut Gwan (Yuan Qi), a patriot and as well as ministers in the kingdom, known loyalty to the king until he was vilified by colleagues and chose to commit suicide.

Celebration Peh Cun Parangtritis is unique because it is not filled with attractions such as rowing boats decorated with dragon elsewhere, but with the attraction of egg stand. Attractions starts around 11:00 and peaked at 12.00. At noon, according to myth, the egg can stand upright without support are needed. However, once entered at 13.00, the eggs will fall down and could not be established anymore.
To achieve Parangtritis, you can choose two routes. First, the route of Yogyakarta - Imogiri - siluk - Parangtritis which offers views of the river and coral. Second, through the route of Yogyakarta - Parangtritis which can be reached by mdah because the road is relatively good. Suggested that you do not wear green clothes to honor local people who believe that green dress will bring misfortune.

A Brief History of Tugu Yogyakarta

2011-01-07T03:10:00.001+07:00

Prototype and After the renovations until now (monument of jogja)

A little history about the monument that was once called the Tugu Yogyakarta golong gilig.
When we look at a map of the region of Yogyakarta (DIY) from north (top of Mount Merapi) + 70 km to the south up to Pandan Simo (on the southern coast of Ocean Indonesia) as if we can pull straight line. Imaginary straight line through three important buildings in the city of Yogyakarta, namely:

- Tugu Yogyakarta / Monument golong gilig;
- Sultan's Palace, and
- Stage Krapyak (Cage Menjangan)
The concept of this imaginary straight line created by Panembahan Senopati, a founder of the dynasty of the Kingdom of Mataram king of Yogyakarta (1586-1601)

Yogyakarta Tugu monument called golong gilig, actually has undergone changes in form after the renovation because of collapsed (+3 m) by the earthquake that rocked Yogyakarta on June 10, 1867.
Tugu Tugu Yogyakarta called White (White Peal) is located at the intersection of four Jl. AM. Sangaji-Jl. P. Mangkubumi with Jl. P. Diponegoro, Jl. Jend. Sudirman. In the decade of 60s, this monument regulator fitted with traffic lights (traffic light).

Tugu sightings Age Occupation

Golong gilig philosophic spiritual meaning and historical value. At the time imprisoned in Parangkusuma Panembahan Senapati he met with Queen of South. They fell in love and married. After three days in the Segara Kidul, Panembahan Senopati expressed a desire to go home. He was given by Queen of South Endog universe brought to home. After arriving in Mataram, Endog it would have eaten, but by Ki Interpreter Martani prohibited. Eggs and even then given to a park interpreter. After the park interpreter to eat it, he turned into a denawa. Denawa was given the task by Panembahan Senopati to keep the Mount Merapi. Lines formed Segara Kidul - Mount Merapi which symbolizes sangkan paranin dumadi, hablun minallah or manunggaling subjects gusti. Directions Parangkusuma - Mount Merapi symbolizes the basic philosophy of the Mataram kingdom gusti manunggaling subjects to fight for the welfare of worldly kings and peoples based on a spiritual deity.

Yogyakarta Tugu (Tugu golong gilig) was built by Prince Mangkubumi (HB I), founder of the Sultanate Ngayogyakarta to commemorate his struggle with the people, kesatupaduan with the people against evil Dutch colonialists. Therefore, the monument is called the monument golong gilig. Tugu Yogya has a height of 25 m, with a cylinder-shaped building body (gilig) and the peak is round like a ball made of brick. It is estimated that the monument was established a year after the Treaty Giyanti, February 13, 1755. View it as a memorial monument at the time of the Emperor sat on his throne in Ward Mangunturtangkil as well as a guide for people who want to overlook the Sultan.

Tugu golong gilig can not be seen again, since June 10, 1867 fall into three major earthquakes due menguncang Yogyakarta. In 1889, the Dutch East Indies government to rebuild a new form. At the monument does not seem golong gilig that integrating the people and king, but rather as a gateway dedicated to the welfare of the Civil Service with candrasengkala wiwara harja manggala praja. TGG turned into a monument to enforce the divide et impera Netherlands.

In 1942 the Dutch East Indies were occupied by Japan and in 1945 proclaimed Indonesia's independence. In that year Sultan HB IX and the Duke of Paku Alam VIII declared Sultanate of Yogyakarta and Paku Alam Duchy as part of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. At the invitation of Sultan HB IX RI Government moved to Yogyakarta. In 1948 the Dutch occupation of Yogyakarta, as well as the President and Vice President of the prisoner by the Dutch.

Sultan HB IX continue the struggle against the Dutch with the people with the spirit of golong gilig. Kraton used as a guerrilla headquarters. In 1949 Indonesia's independence is recognized by the Dutch. Sultan HB X led the resignation of the Dutch troops and guerrilla forces entry to Yogyakarta. GoI restored and moved back to Jakarta. Era of Sultan HB X is a new chapter golong gilig. In this era of Sultan HB X does not become the commander of the war against the Dutch, but the war against ignorance, backwardness, and poverty with passion golong gilig.

According to the Cultural Council of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the Javanese concept of king was gung binathara. On one side of the king has great power. He is gung binathara, smell dendha nyakrawati. His power like a god. He is the holder of the law and ruling the world. On the other hand he has a large and heavy duty. He must be and act virtuous bring leksana, ambeg paramarta fair. He likes to give and the obligation to consistently carry out what he says, are fair to all classes of the people and the intelligent prioritization that should take precedence. King should be able to apply balanced between the rights and obligations. His rule was based on nobility and fair nature.

Basic philosophy of government is the king of Mataram hamemayu hayuning bawana. Philosophy literally means "make the world beautiful." Ayu not only in the physical sense, but also a significant Rahayu survived physical and spiritual prosperity. Bawana is the universe, so that this philosophy also contains a global sense. In other words development DIY attempt to contribute to the effort to save national and global environment, which means also contributed to the effort to save humanity (humanity) throughout the world.

Hamengkubuwono title implies:
hamangku (more blessed to give than to receive);
hamengku (maintain and protect the people, hangrengkuh / ngemong, meaningful ambeg paramarta fair, be fair and good at putting that should take precedence.

hamengkoni: leadership by making a role model (Hing ngarsa sung tuladha).
Leaders who have hamangku willing and sincere attitude to serve the community. He is the servant of the people. He is virtuous, that is like giving, especially to the poor and are experiencing distress.

Empress (leader):
· Funds catering kaluwen wong, alms food to the hungry;
· Funds wong kawudhan clothing, clothes to charity with no clothes;
· Funds wong kudhung heat, alms hat to the heat;
· Wong kudanan umbrella fund, charity umbrella to the rain;
· Funds wong kalunyon sign, alms to the tool path that needs help.

The monument jogja Now

Tugu Jogja slight crack in the middle after a 5.9 earthquake on the Richter scale rocked Yogyakarta on May 27, 2006. But the firm has been addressed until now.

Straight-line Filiosofi: Mount Merapi - Yogyakrta Palace - South Beach (Beach Parang Kusumo)

2011-01-07T02:57:00.001+07:00

The Imaginer Line

Ngayogyakarta Palace, Beach Parang Kusumo in the South Seas, and also of Mount Merapi are in a straight line connected by Tugu Jogja in the middle.
Observations of satellite imagery is showing these locations, following the connecting road, situated almost in line and just missed a few degrees.

The existence of an imaginary line is justified by the former Professor of Philosophy University of Gadjah Mada University Professor Damarjati Supadjar. "Imaginary line was already a long discourse," said Damarjati to VIVAnews.com, Friday, October 20, 2010.

Mount Merapi is located on the border of Yogyakarta and Central Java, also as the north border of Yogyakarta. This is where it starts straight line. It lies to the south, there are Tugu Yogya.
The monument became a symbol of 'manunggaling Kawulo gusti' which also means the union between the king (golong) and people (gilig). This symbol can also be viewed in terms of the mystical union between the creator of universe (the Creator) and the creature (creation).

The next line leads to the palace and then straight to the south there Krapyak Stage. Gedhong Stage, so the building is now called, is a brick podium as high as 4 meters, width of 5 meters, and length of 6 meters. Reach 1 meter thick walls. Building on the south side of this palace became the southern boundary of the old city of Yogyakarta. Last point of the imaginary line that is Parang Kusumo Beach, in the South Seas with the myth of his Nyi Roro Kidul (Nyai Roro Kidul or Queen of the South Coast) As Merapi, at this point there is also a guard, namely RP Suraksotarwono.

For Damarjati, areas that are crossed by an imaginary straight line it was just 'coincidence' just terlintasi line. But the real meaning is the point at each end of the imaginary, Merapi and the South Seas.

Two locations that have particular significance for the palace which was built based on considerations of balance and harmony. Palace is the balance of fire and water. Fire is represented by the Mount Merapi, while the water is represented at the southernmost point, Parang Beach Kusumo. And the palace was in its midpoint. "Palace and the two regions it is a point of balance between vertical and horizontal," explained Damarjati.
Horizontal balance is symbolized by the South Sea which reflect man's relationship with humans. While the horizontal side of Mount Merapi symbolize that reflects the relationship between man and the Almighty.

Philosophy imaginary straight line from Merapi to the South Sea is full of local wisdom. Damarjati advised leaders in this country must be sensitive to the Merapi eruption events that killed the caretaker. According to him, the magma in the volcano Merapi, it should not be blocked to spew lava. Because of that congestion, and too late, it will result in tremendous explosion. "As if the popular vote gets clogged, there will be a social revolution."

A Brief History of Sultan Palace

2011-01-07T02:42:00.001+07:00

Front of Sultan Palace

Located in the middle of the main axis stretching from north to south, and the secondary axis from east to west. Surrounded by mountain ranges called the horizon as the edge of the universe.

It lies between the northern boundary and the monument as Stage Krapyak the south border, between Code River in the east and west Winongo River. Between Mount Merapi and the South Sea, Palace in the mind of the Javanese society, defined as the center of the world which is described as the center of the universe.

After the Treaty Giyanti, Prince Mangkubumi given region of Yogyakarta. To run his government, Prince Mangkubumi build a palace in 1755 in the Forest Beringan. This land was considered quite good because flanked by two rivers that protect it from possible flooding. The first king in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta is the title of Prince Mangkubumi lane I (HB I).

Naming and Meaning Layout

Palace, Palace or Kraton, derived from the word ka-queen's, which means a place to live queen / king. Broader meaning is, is described simply, that all structures and buildings in the Kraton area have significant meaning related to essential Javanese philosophy of life, namely Sangkan Paraning Dumadi (where it comes from humans and where eventually humans after death).

Outlines, in the Kraton area extending 5 km to the south until Krapyak and 2 km to the north end of Monument. On this line there is a linear line dualism inverted, so that could be read symbolically philosophical. From south to north, as the birth of human beings from on high to the mortal nature, and vice versa as the return man to the side Dumadi (God in view of Java). Meanwhile, a physical with the king's palace as a symbol of true soul that comes into the physical body.

Palace to Tugu also be interpreted as a way of life full of temptation. Beringharjo market symbolizes women temptation. While the temptation for power is symbolized by House Kepatihan. Both are located on the right. Straight road itself as a human symbol close to the Creator (impressive Paraning Dumadi).

Put simply, the monument symbolism Linga (male) and Krapyak as Yoni (female). And the Palace as the physical origin of the two.

Spatial meaning Kraton

Hit by the earthquake in 1867, the Palace was severely damaged. At the time of HB VII in 1889, the building is refurbished. The lay still retained, but the shape of the building changed as it looks now

Monument and Ward or Ward Manguntur Tangkil Kencana (where the king's throne), located in a straight line, this means, when the Sultan sat on his throne and looking toward the Tugu, then he will always remember the people (subjects manunggaling gusti).

Kraton Kraton same order as the Mataram dynasty in general. Kencana ward which became the king's reign, together with Ward Prabayeksa as a place to store weapons Palace heritage (in this room there Wiji Kyai oil lamp, which is always guarded to prevent outages courtiers), serves as a center. The ward is covered by the court Kedhaton, so to reach the center, pass through a page that resembles a series of layered bewa (waves) above the ocean.

Special arrangement of the Palace is very similar to the constellation of mountains and plains Cashew Dwipa, seen as a continent of its center of the universe.

From north to south of the palace there are successive North Square, North Hinggil Siti, North Kemandhungan, Srimanganti, Kedhaton, Kemagangan, South Kemandhungan, Siti Hinggil Square South and South (the sheltered courtyard wall height).

While the door to go through to get to each place of nine, called Regol. From there north gate, pangurukan, Tarub great, brajanala, srimanganti, kemagangan, gadhung Mlati, kemandhungan and ivory.

Brongtodiningrat looked at these numbers is important, as the highest number that describes perfection. This corresponds to nine holes in human beings, commonly called babahan hawa sanga.

The sacredness of each Palace building is indicated by the frequency and intensity of the Sultan at the venue.

Square, Exhibition, and Siti Hinggil, in place of Sultan only comes three times a year, namely during the events of Pisowan Ageng Grebeg Maulud, Sawal and Besar. And the opportunities so incidental a very special example when the coronation of the Emperor and Crown Prince or Princess Coronation Duke Anom.

Sultan's Palace is an old building that was once damaged and restored. Looks like other Kingdom buildings. But if we explore the sultan's palace, which is the largest and most beautiful examples with symbolic meaning, a philosophy of life, human nature, how nature works and human beings live their lives and various symbols of life existence in them

A Brief History of Yogyakarta

2011-01-07T02:16:00.002+07:00

Old Jogja Photo

The establishment of Yogyakarta originated from the Agreement Date Gianti on February 13, 1755, signed the Dutch Company under the signature of Governor Nicholas Hartingh on behalf of the Governor-General Jacob Mossel. Contents Gianti Agreement: The state of Mataram was divided in two: Half is still the Rights of the Kingdom of Surakarta, half again become Prince Mangkubumi Rights. The agreement also acknowledged to be King Pengeran Mangkubumi bag half the Inland Empire with the title Java lane Senopati Ing Alega Abdul Rachman Sayidin Panatagama khalifatullah.

The areas that became his power is Mataram (Yogyakarta), Pojong, Sukowati, Bagelen, Kedu, plus local and foreign Bumigede namely; Madison, Magetan, Cirebon, Half Pacitan, Kartosuro, Kalangbret, Tulung agung, Mojokerto, Bojonegoro, Ngawen, Sela , Kuwu, Wonosari, Grobogan.
After finishing the Regional Distribution Agreement, which holds Pengeran Mangkubumi lane I soon determined that the Regional Mataram is in his power was named Ngayogyakarta and its capital in Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta). This assessment was published on March 13, 1755.

The place chosen as the capital and seat of government it is called a Banyan Forest, where there is a small village called Pachetokan, is there there is a rest house named Garjitowati, made by Susuhunan Pakubowono II first and the name was later changed to Ayodhya. After setting the above announced, lane immediately ordered to the people of the forest membabad had to set up the Palace.

Before the palace was finished, I pleased lane guest house occupies Ambarketawang Gamping area, which was done well. Occupy the official rest house on October 9, 1755. From here he always supervise and regulate the construction of the palace is under construction.

A year later I lane is pleased to enter the New Palace as the inaugural. Thus stood the city of Yogyakarta or by name utuhnya is Negari Ngayogyakarta. Ambarketawang Guesthouse left by the lane to move settled in the new Palace. The inauguration which occurred On October 7, 1756

Yogyakarta city was built in 1755, along with the building of the Kingdom Ngayogyakarta by lane I in Banyan Forest, an area between the river and river Winongo Code where the location is visible in terms of security and defense strategy at that time

After the proclamation of independence on 17 August 1945, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX and Sri Paduka Paku Alam VIII receives charter appointment became Governor and Deputy Governor of Yogyakarta Province President, later, on 5 September 1945 he issued a mandate which states that the Sultanate and the region is Pakualaman Special Areas that are part of the Republic of Indonesia under article 18 of the 1945 Constitution. And on October 30, 1945, he issued a second mandate which states that the implementation of the Government in Yogyakarta Special Region will be conducted by Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX and Sri Paduka Paku Alam VIII together with the Working Committee of the National Committee

Although the city of Yogyakarta either become part of the Sultanate as well as become part of Pakualaman have been able to establish a House of Representatives and City Council City Government led by the Sultanate and Pakualaman Regent City, but the city of Yogyakarta has not become Autonomous Township or the City, because the power of autonomy covering various fields of administration still remain in the hands of the Government of Yogyakarta Special Region.

The city of Yogyakarta Sultanate and the region that includes the new Pakualaman a Township or City of Autonomy with the birth of Act No. 17 of 1947, in Article I states that district covering an area of Yogyakarta Sultanate and Pakualaman and some areas of Bantul district which is now a District Kotagede and Umbulharjo defined as an area that has the right to organize and manage their own household. The area was named Haminte Yogyakaarta City.

To implement the first Mayor of autonomy held by Ir.Moh Enoh having trouble because the area is still part of the Special Region of Yogyakarta and its status has not been released. It is increasingly evident with the existence of Law Number 22 Year 1948 on the Principles of Local Government, where the Special Region of Yogyakarta as a Level I and Level II Municipality of Yogyakarta as applicable to the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

Furthermore, both chaired by Mayor Mr.Soedarisman Poerwokusumo whose position as the Administration also become a trap Daily and Legislative leaders who were then called the DPR-GR with members of 25 people. Yogyakarta new Parliament was formed on May 5, 1958 with 20 members as a result of Election 1955.

By returning to the 1945 Constitution through a Presidential Decree 5 July 1959, the Law No. 1 Year 1957 was replaced by Act No. 18 of 1965 on the main points of Regional Administration, Regional Head and the DPRD tasks are separated and formed the Deputy Head of Regional and agencies Daily Government and substituted the term Township Municipality of Yogyakarta.

On the basis of TAP MPRS No. XXI/MPRS/1966 issued Law No. 5 of 1974 on the Principles of Regional Administration. Under the Act, DIY is the Province and also of Provinces, led by the Head of the Regional Governor as Head of the Yogyakarta Special Region and Vice Governor of Yogyakarta Special Region is not bound by the terms of tenure, terms and manner of appointment of the Head and Deputy Regional Regional Head of others, especially for his lane IX and Sri Paduka Paku Alam VIII. While the Municipality of Yogyakarta is a second-level regions, led by Mayor Head of Level II, which are bound by the terms of tenure, terms and manner of appointment for the head of second-level region like the others.

Along with bergulirnya era of reform, a demand to hold the government in autonomous regions more prominent, then get out of Act No.22 of 1999 on Local Government Areas governing authority of local autonomy is widely held, real and responsible. Appropriate designation for this Act, the Municipality of Yogyakarta regency of Yogyakarta city was changed to reign while called the Government of Yogyakarta with the Mayor of Yogyakarta as the Head of Area.
