Islam Positif; Spirit Wacana Solusi Refleksi ISLAM itu satu.Tapi untuk mengkajinya, perlu dihadirkan tiga wajah: idealita, realita, dan citra. Jika idealita Islam berwujud sebagai teks-teks wahyu; realita Islam tampak dalam keseharian umat Islam, citra Islam muncul dalam imajinasi hasil tempaan media. Dari sisi idealita, Islam adalah rahmatan lil 'alamin - rahmat bagi seluruh alam. Islam ya'lu wa la yu'la alaihi tinggi dan tak ada yang melebihinya. Pokoknya, Islam is the best - Islam terbaik, Islam itu positif. Tapi dari sisi realita, umat Islam terpuruk, terjebak, terjajah dan terpinggirkan. Dari sisi citra, Islam itu keras, kasar, kejam, tertuduh, tertinggal dan terdakwa. Karena pembuat citra saat ini adalah media yang dikuasai pihak Barat lengkap dengan hegemoninya, maka baik idealita, apalagi realita Islam memiliki citra negatif. Bagaimana memurnikan idealita, mengubah realita dan memperbaiki citra Islam supaya menjadi positif? Setiap orang yang memiliki penglihatan, pendengaran dan hati seharusnya terpanggil menjadi jawaban. Buku ini merupakan sebutir pasir untuk membangun jembatan raksasa yang menghubungkan realita dan idealita itu.

candi gebang
In the northern region of Yogyakarta, about 12 miles from downtown, there is a temple which ndak many people may know. Although located in a densely populated area, the existence of this temple as if it was still excluded.

Gebang temple, the temple is sometimes a tiny patterned oldest Hindu temple in Yogyakarta, even older than the estimated Kalasan, the oldest Buddhist temple in Yogyakarta that.

Go to here, as if to give the impression of contrast. The temple is located in the village of Gebang, Village Wedomartani, District Ngemplak, Sleman, which is a dense residential area of ??this condition was quite apprehensive.

Follow signs to the temple which started obsolete makes us as if to ask, what yes temple is situated between residential housing? Sure enough, this temple was apparently located at the "edge" is a residential area.

Located in the middle of rice fields, the road leading to the temple is also arguably a dirt path. Ah, but I've walked the temple which is located more pathetic, really. : D

Amazing! Although its location is "remote", but the condition of the temple complex is very well maintained. with a barbed wire fence surrounds, further strengthen the impression of the remote.

When I arrived in the afternoon, the entrance gate is locked. At the checkpoint, ndak anyone could I meet.

I saw a ditch soil contained a small hole under the barbed wire strands. Mind-style thief I work, I was desperate to break into the ditch before! >:)

Ah, the feeling of amaze when I saw the building of the temple re-pervasive spirit. A feeling that I do not find anywhere else, except in the temple of course. Especially with this kind of situation quiet, makes me more freedom to enjoy and admire its beauty. Ah, truly soothe the soul!

This temple ndak large, measuring approximately 5.25 x 5.25 meters with a height of 7.75 meters, is located right in the middle of the page that a lot of breadfruit trees and acacia.

Ndak lot of background information regarding the construction of the temple were found in November 1936 this. Even the king who built and what the meaning is still mystery.

Starting from the discovery of a statue of Ganesha by residents, who, after apparently traced statue is part of the temple. no inscriptions found that the age of the temple can only be estimated from the pattern and the physical form of the temple.

The temple is very pathetic condition when found, namely in the form of collapsed buildings. The restoration is then carried back to the temple in 1937 and completed in 1939 under the leadership of the Dutch scientist, Prof.. Dr. Ir. Van Romondt.

Physical characteristics of the building showed that adopt the Hindu temple, with the discovery of the statue of Ganesha, Yoni and Linga.

The whole body of this temple is very plain, with no relief carving, unlike other Hindu temples. If anything, his impression is still very simple. From this thought, this temple was built at the beginning of the 7th century, around the year 730 to 800 AD

This temple is facing east, with a room containing Yoni with the spout facing north without the linga. At the top of the entrance, there is a sort of canopy with a simple decoration Kala.

Uniquely, I do not find a ladder to get into this room is usually decorated with Makara.

On either side of the entrance, only found Nadiswara statue on the right, while the Mahakala statue on the left ndak found.

The temple walls north and south is found only empty niches, whereas in the western part there is a statue Ganesha who is in a Yoni with the spout facing north.

Ganesha statue on top of Yoni

Judging from the characteristics during the Hindu temple, as can be seen in the temple Sambisari and the third temple on the Temple complex Gedong Songo, niches in the north should be filled by a statue of Agastya and the south is the statue of Goddess Durga.

Foot high terrace of the temple without any relief carvings also show old age of the temple.

Looking to the roof, I was surprised. There's something different when compared to other Hindu temples. The roof consists of 3 levels is quite unique and interesting.

At the first level, there is a niche with relief of a human head on each side. From the shape of human head cover, estimated at a picture of Hindu priests.

This is reinforced by an alcove decorated with Kala-Makara on the roof of the second level of this form of human figure sitting cross-legged.

Decorations on the roof of the temple

At the top, roof-shaped ndak Ratna or Stupa, but it is a cylindrical Linga which is above the Seroja.

When I trace, apparently when the Linga on the roof is drawn a straight line, its position right in the middle of the Yoni that is in the temple. This is reinforced by the recesses on the roof next to the temple.

Linga garnish on top of this Seroja also exist at each level of the roof. In addition, the ornament of Antefix can be found on the upper level.

Carvings and statues of Hindu priests, it could be this temple is often used by priests to calm down and imprisoned. This is supported with a cozy atmosphere, cool, and beautiful because there are around the trees that shade. I even found some tail butterflies flying around the temple is like to give the impression of peace.

Temple complex Gebang

Visit to this temple complex could be an alternative tourism and education. The atmosphere is beautiful and calming down in the mouth can be a drug, like what I felt yesterday.

Since the days begin to grow dusk, I was forced to end my visit to this temple. Ah, looks like I'll miss this place again ..

Public Administration Mason C. Hoadley

Posted by Belibuku.web.id Selasa, 29 November 2011 0 komentar


The problem of identity in discussing about the "state" in Indonesia has been in a cross road, especially if it talks about the origin of the Indonesian public administration. During the periods of pre-independence and post independence; is it a local genius or some thing adopted from abroad, or such a hybird of these two? The author tries to change the way we think by using a historical and a comparative perspective.

By making a comparative distinction between the issue of norms and forms the book has developed a dialectical logic between the historical dimension of public administration, the state of formation , local politics, as well as the idea of progress in the search of political identity in Indonesia. As the discourse of modernization has reached Indonesia in the context of globalization, the book touched a sensitive issue of modernization in the western sense.

Modernization is a westernization done by local authorities but demands of western staets (USA, Europe) oe economical institutions (changing from VOC to IGGI, CGI, IMF, World Bank, etc). The author has rejected the idea of positivism in history that modernizatioan in the field of the public administration should lead to progress. At least what he believed right in the Indonesia, or as a Southeast Asian case.

Ketep Pass near attractions, natural attractions there are no less thrill. His name Kedung Kayang Waterfall, unfortunately the presence of these attractions are still a few people who know because they have not managed optimally.

Waterfall is located in the Village Wonolelo Kayang, District Sawangan, Magelang regency. However, some people consider this waterfall into the district of Boyolali. Quite reasonable because of its location directly adjacent to the District Boyolali.



Entering the area attractions are just a simple gate and a lot of people thought it was the road to the township. Gate attractions are included on the nearby road bend and there is a small road leading to the location of the campsite.

As far as 100 meters down the road and parked the vehicle, we can not necessarily see the beautiful waterfall from a distance. We had to walk as far as 200 yards to the cliff to see the sights Kedung Kayang waterfall from above.

Kayang Kedung Waterfall is one of the attractions that go through the Gaza-Selo-Borobudur Travel Solo (SBB). Waterfall has a height of about 30 meters is fairly unspoiled and has not been exploited on a large scale.



To go to the bottom of the waterfall, we have to travel 1km rotate through paddy fields and watersheds. On the way we found a small size Japanese Cave with a half feet high. The visitors could only see the mouth of the cave because the cave is very difficult to enter the cave that is in it have a lot of mud and very narrow.

The trip down the cliff we had to down hundreds of steps which later turned into a dirt road. This dirt road is quite difficult to pass with decreasing field, slippery, and we must be clever to choose the path that is passed.



The journey is quite tiring to reach the bottom of the falls-off with the natural beauty that is emitted by this waterfall. The sound of the swift water that falls from a height to make the feel of peace accompanied by the sound of chirping birds are widely available around this area.

National History Museum, Gateway to the Monas
Before entering the Monas, visitors are required to pass the National History Museum which is located below the precision of the Monas National Monument or Monument. I might as well want to know what collections are on display at the museum.

Chamber of the National History Museum is located 3 meters below the surface of the pages of National Monument Monument with the size of 80x80 square meters. Walls, pillars, and marble floor overall.

Entering the underground passageway that there are facilities air-conditioning (AC). I am required to browse the aisle to get to the counter inside. Far enough and added some air conditioners are damaged or die, causing the atmosphere inside the hall was humid and hot.

After paying admission, I was immediately directed towards the stairs up and enter the courtyard area of ??the Monument National Monument (Monas) and trace the path leading to a door in which there are stairs down.


The atmosphere was dark and deserted, and the middle feels empty without the exhibits. I just know that this museum featuring dioramas containing the history of Indonesia is located on the museum wall.

In the living history museum there are 51 windows display (diorama) which perpetuate the historical events since the time of the life of the ancestors of Indonesia, the struggle to maintain independence and sovereignty of the Indonesian nation, until the construction of the New Order.

I am interested in observing the contents of each diorama, dioramas there any clear explanations about the historical events that occurred in Indonesia. Visitors to this museum seemed to relax reading one after the information provided. But quite unfortunately, there are several dioramas that were damaged and not repaired, whether there is damage to the lamp section is being improved or miniature picture of historical events.

The center of the museum still looks wide and swing without any other properties are exhibited to visitors. For some people, watching the image of ancient events in the diorama is exciting, but for some other person is less interesting and boring. I hope in the empty area plus a collection of objects such as replicas, miniature, or things that can increase visitor attraction and increase knowledge about the history of Indonesia.

Although only the dioramas are on display in the museum without any other interesting things, quite a lot of people who use this area to simply relax and enjoy the cold air behind the engine room museum daytime weather is quite hot city. Then I went on his way to Peak National Monument.

Tracing the Tourism Village Kotagede
Kotagede name is already no stranger to our ears. One area in the city of Jogjakarta that became the center of the silver industry. However, few know that in the township in the area Kotagede has its own historical value because Kotagede is also the former capital of the Islamic kingdom of Mataram.

Kotagede is the name of a region in ancient times is the Capital of Islamic Mataram Kingdom. Currently Kotagede a silver in the central region of Yogyakarta.

We did not encounter any obstacles on your way Kotagede because it has many signs that steer. Kotagede road vehicles along narrow enough so we parked our vehicle in front of Market Market Kotagede or also called Legi. Next we walk down the road in the town.


We walk to the region developed as Kotagede Tourism Village. Nini locations are on the west of the cultural heritage Kotagede Mosque and Tomb Kings Kotagede. The road to the village is an alley that measuring approximately two meters and there has been no clear information boards so many less people know the existence of the tourist village.

Narrow alley to get to the Tourism Village area is quite crowded Kotagede bypassed by locals. When walking down the street in this alley, the building looks old house that stands extending to the tip and each house has a unique architecture of its own. There are a few striking buildings which house called House Peach.

Peach house is a house that belonged to Rudy Peach said his job was a businessman. In one of the doors there is an inscription that contains Lech Walesa, former Polish President and Nobel Peace Prize 1990-1995 of 1993 never stay there.


Our journey continue to go to a fork in the road that there is a Pos. Pos Pos Malaysia called on the walls there is a tourist map of the area Kotagede and a little explanation about the existence of Malang Pos.

Pos Malaysia is one of the open structure between the transverse and Gang Gang Soka Tumenggungan (hall to Dalem Tumenggung Mertalaya) in the village Jagalan. Pos Malaysia formerly OPAS or guarded by a security guard.

From Pos Malaysia, there is a building called Omah UGM. We wondered whether the oldest university in Indonesia has a special connection with the history of settlement in the town. Immediately, we rushed toward the building called Omah UGM. Conjecture turns out we were wrong, we found a joglo shaped building was new and after reading his statement stated that the building was recently purchased by the University of Gadjah Mada University several years ago to preserve the region Kotagede.

Omah UGM was the term for a custom home building owned by the University of Gadjah Mada. Before it was bought by GMU after the earthquake of 2006, this house is a family owned Darsono Parto. Located in Kampung Bodon, Jagalan. Omah UGM functioned as the Central Conservation Movement. Pendapa in Omah UGM complex is a new building which was established after the earthquake of 2006. While gandhok gazebo on the east side which collapsed in the earthquake, was rebuilt with the fixed wall to preserve the former are no longer intact. It is intended as a monument to remember the awesomeness 27 May 2006 earthquake that. These buildings are often used for various community activities in the field of heritage conservation. even since June 2010 until April 2010 to the office while REKOMPAK-Java Reconstruction Fund in cooperation with local residents in the area of ??heritage conservation program Kotagede

Rail Kotagede village we continue towards a point of historically valuable buildings high enough. Go to the other side, we visited the building called Traditional House. Although the building is quite historic, this building is still occupied by their owners. Less fortunate, we did not find the owners so reluctant to enter the building without permission. Finally we see the beauty of the architecture from outside the fence alone.

This custom home was built in 1750an using traditional Javanese architectural style with joglo roof. Consisting of palace buildings and gandok east. Apart from being home to live on past the house was used for the production of silver. Houses using wood frame structure, using brick wall and some wood. This house was severely damaged by the earthquake of 2006. In 2010 the building was rehabilitated by the palace and gandok REKOMPA-JRF and functioned as a public house.

Browse last village we headed to Omah Tumenggungan that there are two large buildings side by side. The building is also still used as a residence. But one of the building look less manicured than the other buildings. Either because their owners are often left to go so did not get cleaned regularly, or whether because of something else.

The second house is a family residence Tumenggung Mertalaya (House of the east side) and family bahoewinangun (west side of the house). Roofed buildings using Java architecture joglo. Bahoewinangun marquee home is the only hall in the town who use the hanging structure.

Finally we ended the cruise village in the town. Actually there are very many other old buildings that has a unique architectural and historical value, but because just the streets and just rely on a board that contains the description, we have little information about the Kampung Kota Gede. Maybe on the other occasion, we will visit the region accompanied by a guide or a historian, so we really understand about the historical development of this Kotagede village.
