When Water Makes Civilization: The Role of Rivers in Bangka Island in the XVIII-XIX Century
Abstract
ABSTRACT: This study aims to find the contribution of rivers in the formation of human civilization. This study examines the role of rivers in Bangka Island around the XVIII-XIX century. The method used to analyze the data found is social history, especially regarding the social changes that were influenced by the activities of the migrants on this island. The results of this study indicate that the river in Bangka Island is the main route used as a medium for the movement of people and goods, which are transported by ship. The existence of the island of Bangka, which is close to the open sea, allows the arrival of the pirates who control this island. They were expelled by Panglima Sarah, a commander from Johor, Malay Peninsula and Hulubalang Harimau Garang from Minangkabau, West Sumatera. These two figures were subsequently involved in the development of the Islamic community in Bangka Island. Rivers in Bangka Island create also an aquatic life that drives various social changes. The encounters of local residents with migrants form an understanding of how a culture of hospitality should be formed and strengthened. The presence of Chinese elements in Bangka Island culture, for example, is evidence of the local community's acceptance of immigrant culture.
KEY WORDS: River; History; Migrants; Collaboration.
