CHAPTER I

PROFILE AND HISTORY OF MALIOBORO


To the north of the kraton lies the most influential street in the life of Yogyakarta
city: JalanMalioboro (Malioboro Street). In Sanskrit, the word 'Malioboro' means
bouquet or wreath. It may be related to the past when Karaton had a big event then
Malioboro would be full of flower. The word Malioboro also came from the word
'Marlborough', the name of English Duke who lived there in 1811-1816. The
establishment of Malioboro Street coincided with the establishment of Kraton
Yogyakarta (Sultans Palace).

In its earliest incarnation as a part of the Javanese town concept, Malioboro Street
was laid out in an imaginary axis running north-south and correlated with the
Sultans Palace to Mount Merapi in the north and the South Sea as a symbol of the
supernatural. In the colonial era (1790-1945), the urban pattern of Yogyakarta city
seemed to be interrupted by the Dutch as a strategy to maintain their domination
by building Vredeburg Fort (1790) at the south end of Malioboro Street near to the
existing traditional market, followed by the Dutch Club (1822), the Dutch
Governors Residence (1830), Java Bank and the Post Office [2]. The rapid
economic development during this period caused by trading between the Dutch
and Chinese also led the Sultan to allot lands in a sub-segment of Malioboro street
to the Chinese Community, which became known as the Chinese District. The
development of Yogyakarta during this period was dominated by the activities of
the Dutch in building facilities to bolster their economy and power, such as the

construction of the main station (1887) in Malioboro Street, which physically


succeeded in dividing the street into two parts. Meanwhile, Malioboro Street had
an important role in the independence era (post-1945), as the Indonesian people
fought to defend their independence in battles that took place north-south along
the street .

Nowadays the street is at the centre of Yogyakarta's largest tourist district, with
historical Dutch colonial-era architecture mixed in with the Chinese and
contemporary commercial districts. Sidewalks on both sides of the street are
crowded with small stalls selling a variety of goods. In the evening several openair restaurants, called lesehan, operate along the street. The street was for many
years two-way, but by the 1980s had become one way only, from the railway line
(where it starts) to the south to Beringharjo markets, where it ends, not far
from Fort Vredeburg, a restored Dutch fortress. The largest, oldest Dutch era
hotel, Hotel Garuda, is located at the street's northern end, on the eastern side,
adjacent to the railway line. It also houses the complex of the former Dutch era
Prime Minister, the kepatihan, on the eastern side, which has now become the
Provincial Government offices.
