Efektivitas dan kecepatan membuatnya lebih menarik daripada menggunakan gerobak sapi roda dua dan kereta kuda pada saat itu. Transportasi berbasis kereta api ini telah mengalami perubahan dalam manajemen. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah banyak perusahaan manajemen kereta api dan trem yang bergantung pada industri lain, seperti industri gula. Fragmen sejarah kereta api di Hindia Belanda belum ditulis sepenuhnya. Tulisan ini membahas permohonan konsesi, konstruksi, dan pengelolaan layanan trem yang disediakan oleh Nederlandsch-Indisch Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NIS) di jalur Gundih-Surabaya pada tahun 1900–1942. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah melengkapi sejarah kereta api di Hindia Belanda dan sebagai pertimbangan untuk lembaga yang bertanggung jawab untuk mengaktifkan kembali rel mati di Gresik dan Tuban sepenuhnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian sejarah yang terdiri dari beberapa langkah, pemilihan topik, heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Sumber sejarah yang digunakan diakses secara online dan luring melalui beberapa lembaga dan situs arsip. Sumber yang digunakan adalah buku-buku lama, Verslag van den Raad van Beheer der Nederlandsch-Indisch Spoorweg-Maatschaapij, surat kabar tua, dan lainnya. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa selama pelayanan trem oleh NIS di Pantai Utara Jawa mengandalkan pengangkutan komoditas hutan dan tambang, serta transportasi penumpang. Jalur trem Gundih–Surabaya tidak tergantung pada transportasi gula seperti halnya jalur trem lainnya.</p> Muhammad Pradana Purnawan Basundoro Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-09-10 2025-09-10 1 2 1 13 https://e-journal.unair.ac.id/JoHI/article/view/78692 <p><em>The concept of the “modern mother” entered the Dutch East Indies as European women came to the colony with European lifestyles and models of baby care. European-style modernity was felt to need to be applied in the Dutch East Indies, including in baby care procedures, to assert white supremacy and prevent degenerative effects believed to arise due to intense interaction with tropical climates and indigenous groups. By using historical research methods consisting of heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, this study seeks to explain the role of newspaper advertisements in shaping the image of modern mothers in the Dutch East Indies. As a result, the baby care product advertisements potrayed the fugure of modern mother through images and words. A modern and scientific mother is portrayed as one who complies with doctors’ recommendations, maintains physical distance from her child, understands the latest scientific developments related to hygiene and health, and facilitates her child with high-quality goods.</em></p> Farikha Shabrilia Safirulhaq Ma’muli Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-09-10 2025-09-10 1 2 14 27
