https://journal.ugm.ac.id/v3/janus/article/view/17887
<p><em>This paper discusses the correlation between hospital location and health service provision for the community with a focused case on the location of Bethesda Hospital. This paper aims to test the hypothesis that the spatial accessibility of hospitals has an important role in providing health services. Hypothesis testing was carried out using the spatial archaeology analysis method and testing variables based on the concept of spatial accessibility by Guagliardo (2004). Data processing was carried out with the QGIS application by mapping the location of the hospital against the city's spatial layout including roads, railroad lines, train stations, government center locations, and residential locations. The results showed that Bethesda Hospital was built outside the city center of Yogyakarta, but equipped with infrastructure that supports access. The infrastructure consists of a road network, railway lines, and stations that connect the hospital with the city center and other settlements in the Yogyakarta area and outside Yogyakarta. Thus, this research produces an understanding of the consideration of spatial aspects in the establishment of hospitals that can be useful in the development of health facilities today.</em></p> <p><em>===</em></p> <p>Tulisan ini membahas keterkaitan antara lokasi rumah sakit terhadap kebutuhan pelayanan kesehatan bagi masyarakat dengan fokus pada kasus lokasi Rumah Sakit Bethesda. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menguji hipotesis bahwa aksesibilitas spasial rumah sakit memiliki peran penting dalam pemberian layanan kesehatan. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan metode analisis arkeologi spasial dan variabel pengujian berdasarkan konsep <em>spatial accessibility</em> oleh Guagliardo (2004). Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan aplikasi QGIS dengan memetakan lokasi rumah sakit terhadap tata ruang kota meliputi jalan, jalur kereta api, stasiun kereta api, lokasi pusat pemerintahan, dan lokasi permukiman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Rumah Sakit Bethesda dibangun di luar pusat kota Yogyakarta, namun dilengkapi infrastruktur yang mendukung akses. Infrastruktur tersebut berupa jaringan jalan, jalur kereta api, dan stasiun yang menghubungkan rumah sakit dengan pusat kota dan permukiman lain di wilayah Yogyakarta maupun di luar Yogyakarta. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menghasilkan pemahaman mengenai pertimbangan aspek spasial dalam pendirian rumah sakit yang dapat berguna dalam pembangunan fasilitas kesehatan saat ini.</p>Vivi Sandra Sari

https://journal.ugm.ac.id/v3/janus/article/view/23821
<p><em>The traditional Paledang boat holds a central position in the lives of the Lamalera community on Lembata Island. The profound meaning of this vessel is not only evident in maritime life, but is also visually woven into the motifs of local ikat weaving. This study aims to understand how the Lamalera community interprets the form of the Paledang boat, both as a whaling vessel and as a motif in the woven textiles they produce. Using an ethnoarchaeological approach, this research analyzes two cultural objects through five variables</em><em>:</em><em> construction techniques, temporal and spatial contexts, traditional organization, ceremonial and ritual practices, and the utilization of the Paledang boat and its motif in Lamalera ikat weaving.</em><em> T</em><em>he findings indicate that the Paledang is not merely a tool for whaling, but also represents identity, courage, and a spiritual connection with the sea. Meanwhile, the Paledang motif in Lamalera ikat weaving is not only an aesthetic decoration, but also carries important social and symbolic meanings, particularly in relation to women’s status and exchange within the socio-economic networks of the Lamalera community</em><em>.</em></p> <p><em>===</em></p> <p>Perahu Paledang memiliki kedudukan sentral bagi masyarakat Lamalera, Pulau Lembata. Kuatnya makna perahu ini tidak hanya hidup di lautan, tetapi juga terekam secara visual dalam motif kain tenun ikat lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami pemaknaan masyarakat Lamalera terhadap bentuk perahu <em>Paledang</em>, baik sebagai sarana perburuan paus maupun sebagai motif kain tenun yang mereka produksi. Dengan pendekatan etnoarkeologi, penelitian ini menganalisis dua objek budaya melalui lima variabel pengamatan: teknik pembuatan, waktu dan tempat pelaksanaan, organisasi tradisional, upacara dan ritual, serta pemanfaatan perahu <em>Paledang </em>dan motif perahu <em>Paledang </em>pada kain tenun Lamalera. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan luasnya makna perahu <em>Paledang</em> yang bukan sekadar alat berburu paus, melainkan wujud identitas, keberanian, dan hubungan spiritual dengan laut. Di sisi lain, motif <em>Paledang</em> dalam tenun tidak hanya sebagai hiasan estetis, tetapi juga sarat makna sosial dan simbolik, khususnya dalam konteks status perempuan dan pertukaran dalam jaringan sosial-ekonomi masyarakat Lamalera.</p>Jesica Herlin LerrickJ.

https://journal.ugm.ac.id/v3/janus/article/view/24362
<p><em>The Benau Karst Hills in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan, form an ecological and cultural space that is central to the lives of the Punan Batu Benau Sajau people</em><em>. For them</em><em>, karst caves serve as temporary dwellings, storage spaces for forest products, and sites for cosmological rituals. This study adopts a landscape archaeological perspective to understand the connection between the contemporary practices of the Punan Batu, a hunter-gatherer society, and archaeological evidence of cave dwellings in Kalimantan. It was conducted through brief ethnographic observations (2025), a review of archaeological literature, and integration with genetic findings that confirm the continuity of Punan Batu culture. The results suggest that the Benau karst landscape can be perceived as a cultural landscape, where the subsistence practices, mobility, and cosmology of the local community reflect continuity with prehistoric cave-dwelling practices. This study highlights that preserving customary forests is not only a legal and ecological concern but also vital for maintaining the living archaeological heritage of Southeast Asia.</em></p> <p><em>===</em></p> <p>Bukit Karst Benau di Kabupaten Bulungan, Kalimantan Utara, merupakan ruang ekologis dan budaya yang menjadi pusat kehidupan masyarakat Punan Batu Benau Sajau. Bagi mereka, gua-gua karst berfungsi sebagai tempat tinggal sementara, ruang penyimpanan hasil hutan, hingga lokasi ritual kosmologis. Studi ini berangkat dari perspektif arkeologi lanskap untuk memahami keterhubungan antara praktik kontemporer Punan Batu sebagai masyarakat berburu-meramu dengan bukti arkeologis hunian gua di Kalimantan. Kajian ini dilakukan melalui observasi etnografi singkat (2025), studi literatur arkeologi, serta integrasi dengan temuan genetika yang menegaskan kesinambungan budaya Punan Batu. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa lanskap karst Benau dapat dipandang sebagai lanskap budaya, ketika praktik subsistensi, mobilitas, dan kosmologi komunitas lokal mencerminkan kesinambungan dengan praktik hunian gua prasejarah. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa pelestarian hutan adat bukan hanya urusan hukum dan ekologi, melainkan juga pelestarian warisan arkeologi hidup yang masih berlangsung di Asia Tenggara.</p>Adi Prasetijo
