Abstract:

Background: Although anthrax occurs globally, the burden of the disease remains particularly high in Africa. Furthermore, the disease anthrax has significant public health and economic implications. However, sufficient attention has not been given to the geographic distribution of anthrax outbreaks and cases in Lesotho. Therefore, this study investigates the spatial patterns of anthrax outbreaks and cases among livestock in Lesotho from 2005 to 2016. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was adopted to realise the objectives of this study using retrospective data of anthrax outbreaks and cases recorded by the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) between 2005 and 2016. Anthrax outbreaks were geo-coded at village level and aggregated at district level. Proportions and 95% CI of anthrax outbreaks and cases by village and district were calculated. Cartographic maps displaying the distribution of anthrax outbreaks and cases at village and district level were constructed. Results: A total of 38 outbreaks were reported over the study period, and they were clustered in the Lowlands districts of Lesotho. Most outbreaks (52.6%, 20/38) in livestock were reported in the Maseru district. The Leribe district reported the lowest proportions of outbreaks (5.3%, 2/38) and cases (0.6%, 3/526). At the village level, 18% (7/38) of outbreaks were in Maseru Urban, followed by Ratau (16%, 6/38) and Mofoka (13%, 5/38). The Maseru district reported the highest (1.3%, 369/29,070) proportion of cases followed by Mafeteng (0.9%, 73/8530). The village with the most cases was Kolo (10.5%, 21/200), followed by Thaba-Chitja (7.7%, 33/430). Conclusion: Anthrax outbreaks and cases exclusively occur in the Lowlands districts of Lesotho, with villages such as Mahobong, Pitseng, Kolo, and Thaba-Chitja having a higher risk of anthrax disease. Findings of the present study have serious public health implications in light of the fact that between 2003 and 2008 Lesotho’s main abattoir was closed; hence, most of the meat in Lesotho was imported and/or sourced from the informal slaughter facilities. Much larger studies are needed to further investigate factors contributing to spatial disparities in anthrax outbreaks and cases observed in this study. Findings of the present study can be used to guide the formulation of a policy on prevention and control of anthrax in Lesotho.

Abstract:

This study investigated parental understanding of the concept “Parental Involvement in Education” of their children (PIE) in three inclusive secondary schools in the Maseru District of Lesotho. It also investigated the extent to which parents make contributions to the education of their children. The study was quantitative, exploratory in nature and used a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire to collect data. 700 parents in these schools were randomly selected to fill the questionnaires and the data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results revealed that most parents understand PIE and its implications, but do not do much to assist teachers in schools. Mothers appeared to support the teaching of their children more than fathers. Prominent barriers in their efforts to help teachers included work-related commitments and a lower level of education. The study proposed formation of support groups involving all stakeholders for the purpose of raising awareness about PIE, educating parents about their roles in the education of their children, and improving communication among all stakeholders.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes threats and opportunities in sustainable irrigation development in Lesotho. The addressed research question is what threats and opportunities are there in irrigation projects backed by the government of Lesotho (GoL) for sustainable development and income generation in the rural areas for subsistence farmers. Threats to irrigation projects pose a problematic situation with a high possibility for project failure in attaining sustainable development. They need to be analytically identified for the provision of solutions at the project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes. The study has adopted the in-depth interviews for problems and opportunities identification with the participation of 63 irrigating farmers as respondents. Revealing threats against opportunities enable proper irrigation projects planning and implementation and therefore successful and sustainable irrigation development in Lesotho. Indepth field interviewsâ€™findings are on farmers in eight project sites selected by the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) for further irrigation development with the backing of Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). The eight sites are (1) Semonkong Ha Lesala and (2) Semonkong Ha Sechache, in Maseru district, (3) Ha Rasekila in Butha-Buthe district, (4) Qopo Ha Molefi in Berea district, (5) Maphutseng in Mohaleâ€™s Hoek district, (8) Qhoalinyane Ha Semethe and (7) Qhoalinyane, in Qachaâ€™s Nek district, and lastly (8) Ha Makoae in Quthing district. The main implementing agency for this Water Control Component of the Special Programme for Food Security is the MoA in Lesotho.

Abstract:

SACCOS play a major role of providing financial access to poor people who are excluded from the services of Formal Financial Institutions (FFIs). However, they also face number of challenges which may affect their performance. Most of the previous studies in the area of SACCOS did not concentrate on their performance. The aim of this study therefore was to assess performance of SACCOS in Maseru District, Lesotho. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design where data were collected at one point in time. A sample size of 369 respondents was computed by the use of formula by Yamane (1967). Respondents in the sample were selected by using simple random sampling technique. However, respondents from individual SACCOS were proportional to the total number of members in particular SACCOS. This was done in order to make the sample representative of all SACCOS in the study area. Analyses of data were done by using different techniques which include: mathematical equations (i to vii); different financial ratios; tables; graphs; bar charts and other types of descriptive statistics like mode and percentages. It was found that socio economic characteristics of members were supportive to financial performance of the SACCOS. Furthermore, SACCOS in the study area achieved high performance in terms of ratios of members’ capital; loan delinquency; volumes of savings in the SACCOS; and growth of total assets. On the other hand, the SACCOS realised poor financial performance in terms of ratio of fixed assets to total assets; and share capital owned by members.

Abstract:

The study reported on here was conducted to investigate the perceptions of 8 learners in a secondary school in the Maseru district of Lesotho about inclusive education as it relates to learners with visual impairment. This school had integrated children with visual impairment. The study was conducted using a qualitative research approach, and a case study format was adopted. Eight participants (aged 16–23; 5 girls and 3 boys) participated in the study. Two focus groups were formed: one comprised 4 learners without visual impairment, and another 4 learners with visual impairment. Focus-group discussions were followed up with individual interviews. The results reveal that learners (with and without visual impairment) had mixed opinions about the integration of learners with visual impairment in their mainstream school. On the one hand they pointed out that inadequate resources and the unwelcoming infrastructure of their school discouraged this integration. Those with visual impairment also pointed to their exclusion from sports activities by their peers, as well as the occasional use of exclusionary language by some of their teachers, as indicating that special schools were better places for them. On the other hand, the learners stated some of the benefits of including learners with visual impairment in their school. These included enabling peer tutoring, peer consultations, and a slower pace of teaching. Learners with visual impairment also stated that inclusion had improved their social life, by enabling them to learn better ways of living with people without visual impairment. Based on these benefits, learners welcomed the inclusion of those with visual impairment in mainstream schools.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to answer to the following Research Question (RQ): “What are the perception and the application of ICTs for e-tourism in different LTDs in Campania?” To answer the RQ a qualitative study was done with a questionnaire to 144 managers of Local Tourist Districts (LTDs) in Campania, Italy. The questionnaire was summited in 2017. The acquired data were processed using the factor analyses. The study of the region’s 12 LTDs allowed for the identification of three district typologies i.e. three homogeneous groups. The one, defined as proactive, exhibited positive results thanks to the skills and competencies of its managers. By contrast, despite the wealth of attractions, the other districts did not fare as well mostly due to management inadequacies and organizational culture. The research was limited to only 12 LTDs located in Italy. Possible measures to address operational and cultural problems in the region have been identified in implementation of ITCs’ applications to foster e-tourism and the local entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as the accumulation of knowledge to enhance the awareness of the education as a strategic factor [ Masele , J. J. ( 2015 ). Towards e-commerce use for pro-poor tourism promotion: Local providers’ ICT training needs in Tanzania. International Journal of Innovation and Technology Management, 12(4), 1550020]. Moreover, at the national and international level, other strategic elements can be identified in: analysis of good practices and cross contamination of proactive district managers with the participated and insensitive district managers.It is the first research paper on the Campania districts since their inception. The analysis of the phenomenon may be extended to other countries too.

Abstract:

Mental illnesses (MIs) such as anxiety, epilepsy, major depression, schizophrenia, sleep disorder, and pain influence the quality of life severely. According to the World Health Organization Atlas for Mental Health (2014), the formal health sector in Lesotho has only 13.7 mental health workers per 100 000 of the population, which breaks down to 0.1 psychiatrist and other medical doctors, 0.3 psychologists, 4.7 nurses, and 5.2 social workers. Traditional health practitioners (THPs) have always played a significant role in the prevention and treatment of MIs, via utilization of Lesotho’s vast diversity of plants. This investigation aims to determine which medicinal plants are used for the treatment of MIs in the Berea, Leribe, and Maseru districts of Lesotho. A combination of unstructured and semistructured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 27 THPs. They were interviewed about the status of MIs in Lesotho, diagnostic methods, medicinal plants used, and preparation and administration of the herbal remedies in the treatment of MIs. A total of 43 different plant species (indigenous and exotic) were indicated by the THPs as commonly used to treat neurological disorders. With the exception of one unidentified plant, the plants represented 26 families and 42 genera. The most common families are the Asteraceae (9 species), Fabaceae (5 species), and Rosaceae (3 species). The most cited plant species were Morella serrata (Myricaceae) (26%), followed by Xysmalobium undulatum (Asclepiadaceae) (22%), and Afroaster hispidus (Asteraceae) (15%). This survey provides, for the first time, a database of Lesotho’s medicinal plants that are used to treat MIs.

Abstract:

Agriculture forms a major source of livelihood for many people in Lesotho. The major agricultural activities include crop production and animal husbandry. Many farmers produce agricultural goods, mainly crops for subsistence purposes. There are also some subsistence farmers who participate in animal husbandry. Subsistence farmers keep livestock mainly for social and economic purposes. For instance, some farmers rear animals for prestige, ploughing, paying bride prices as well as producing milk for household use. The traditional breeds of cattle in many parts of Lesotho are kept mainly for domestic use. Despite a large number of Basotho farmers keeping livestock for subsistence purposes, there are some farmers who rear cattle for producing milk. These cattle are purchased from the neighbouring South Africa, while some are crossbred in the country. Some dairy farmers are members of associations, while others are not. Both association members and non-members market the milk in the local dairy industry, Lesotho Dairy Products (LDP). The supply of milk to the local dairy industry is not sustainable due to the small number of farmers participating in dairy farming. This has thwarted the capacity of the dairy industry to produce a variety of dairy products for the domestic market. As a result, the local market is flooded with milk products imported from South Africa. This shows that the forward linkage between LDP and farmers is too weak. This has in turn affected the output (backward linkage) of the dairy industry negatively. The industry specialises in the production of a few dairy products. Besides creating employment opportunities for dairy farmers, farm workers, as well as people working in the industry, the dairy industry has limited backward linkage within the local economy. It does not produce essential agricultural inputs for farmers such as pesticides and dairy cattle. In the light of these, this research study investigates the contribution of the dairy industry in improving the lives of dairy farm households and the economy of Lesotho. This is achieved by looking at production linkages (forward and backward) between dairy farmers and LDP.

Abstract:

Abstract Magnetic data transformations are applied to the high-resolution magnetic data from the Masara gold district in the southern Philippines to enhance features related to a porphyry copper prospect and epithermal gold deposit. Using several filtering methods and structural mapping techniques, we were able to highlight the signal coming from a shallow chlorite-sericite alteration zone. Although the epithermal veins are mainly composed of nonmagnetic minerals, calculation of the tilt derivative of the magnetic grid revealed linear features that are coincident with the surface projection of the gold-bearing veins. Furthermore, dip directions of the magnetic sources were determined using Euler deconvolution, and they were found to coincide with the dip directions of the veins as determined by structural measurements at different underground levels. Aside from showing the utility of the magnetic methods in epithermal gold deposit exploration, this study also demonstrates that challenges of processing and interpreting magnetic anomalies in areas near the equator can be overcome. This research outlines a processing workflow that can be adopted for further investigation of other mineralized areas.

Abstract:

Biara Sangkilon is one of the many biaras in the in Padang Lawas archaeological area located in Sangkilon Village, Lubuk Barumun District, Padang Lawas Regency. In general, the arrangement of biaras in this region has its own characteristics, namely the main building facing the mandapa, with one gate. The problem raised in this paper is how the spatial constellation of Biara Sangkilon is? The writing purpose of this article is to get a description of the space boundaries based on the distinction of spatial functions and their relationships in the Biara Sangkilon Complex. Through descriptive-analytical research it can be seen in fact through the form of structure, distance, findings artifactual, and boundaries, there is a fairly clear division of space between sacred space, and profane at Biara Sangkilon. Biara Sangkilon merupakan salah satu dari sekian banyak biara di Kawasan Kepurbakalaan Padang Lawas yang terletak di Desa Sangkilon, Kecamatan Lubuk Barumun, Kabupaten Padang Lawas. Secara umum, susunan biara-biara yang terdapat di kawasan ini memiliki ciri khas tersendiri yaitu bangunan utama berhadapan dengan mandapa, dengan satu pintu gerbang. Adapun permasalahan yang diangkat dalam makalah ini adalah bagaimanakah konstelasi keruangan Biara Sangkilon? Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang batas-batas ruang yang didasarkan pada pembedaan fungsi-fungsi ruang beserta relasirelasinya yang terdapat di Kompleks Biara Sangkilon. Melalui penelitian yang bersifat deskriptifanalitis dapat diketahui ternyata melalui bentuk struktur, jarak, temuan artefaktual, dan batasbatas, terdapat pembagian ruang yang cukup jelas antara ruang sakral, dan profan di Biara Sangkilon.

Abstract:

Kuta Mapot yang berada di wilayah Desa Tumbang Lapan, Kecamatan Rungan Hulu, Kabupaten Gunungmas, Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah, merupakan hunian berbenteng di tepian anak Sungai Tumbang Lapan, di Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Kahayan bagian hulu. Kuta ini termasuk istimewa karena masih nampak beberapa tiangnya, baik dari bagian pagar keliling maupun bangunan di dalamnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merekonstruksi bentuk, simbol, dan kronologi hunian berbenteng Mapot. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan induktif. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode survei, ekskavasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian memberi gambaran bahwa Kuta Mapot berbentuk persegi, yang dibentuk oleh pagar keliling dari balok ulin, dilengkapi dengan beberapa patung yang bermakna simbolik sebagai penolak bala sekaligus penjaga, dan bangunan patahu. Secara kronologi (absolut) berdasarkan analisis 14C, Mapot berada di kisaran abad ke-5--20 Masehi, sedangkan secara relatif (keramik Cina) berada pada abad ke-18--20 Masehi. Pendukung Kuta Mapot adalah masyarakat asli, yang sekarang dikenal dengan nama masyarakat Ngaju yang tinggal di Desa Tumbang Lapan, Kecamatan Rungan Hulu. Kuta Mapot, located in the Tumbang Lapan Village, Rungan Hulu Subdistrict, Gunungmas Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, is a fortified residence on the banks of the Tumbang Lapan tributary, in the upper of Kahayan River Basin. Kuta is specially considered because there can still be found some pillars, both from the part of the fences and the buildings inside. This study aims to reconstruct the shape, symbols, and chronology of Mapot fortified dwellings in the village of Tumbang Lapan. Research is descriptive with an inductive approach. The data were collected by survey, excavation, interview, and literature study methods. The study can illustrate that Kuta Mapot is square in shape, formed by a perimeter fence of ironwood beams, equipped with several sculptures that have symbolic meanings as repellent as well as guards, and patahu building. Chronologically (absolute) based on C14 analysis, Mapot is in the range of the 5th-20th century AD, while relatively (Chinese ceramics) is in the 18th-20th century AD. Supporters of Kuta Mapot were indigenous people, now known as Ngaju people who live in Tumbang Lapan Village, Rungan Hulu District.

Abstract:

Situs pemukiman kuno ini berada di Desa Tewah Pupuh, Kecamatan Banua Lima, Kabupaten Barito Timur, Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah. Penelitian arkeologi sudah beberapa kali dilakukan di wilayah Kabupaten Barito Timur, tetapi situs pemukiman kuno ini belum pernah diteliti. Masyarakat meyakini bahwa situs ini merupakan tempat tinggal salah satu tokoh penting pada zamannya, yaitu Patis Uwey, yang juga menjadi salah satu cikal bakal pembentukan Kademangan Banua Lima. Keberadaan situs ini diketahui dari informasi masyarakat yang diteruskan oleh dinas setempat kepada Balai Arkeologi Kalimantan Selatan, dengan temuan berupa fragmen keramik asing. Penelitian dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui lanskap dan kronologi relatif pemukiman kuno di situs Tewah Pupuh. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei, ekskavasi, wawancara, pemetaan, dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian memberi gambaran bahwa pemukiman kuno milik Patis Uwey di situs Tewah Pupuh berada di bukit kecil yang dikelilingi oleh aliran sungai yang bermuara di Sungai Tabalong. Kronologi berdasarkan hasil analisis fragmen keramik dan penelusuran data sejarah berada di antara abad ke-14 sampai ke-19 Masehi. The ancient settlement site is located in Tewah Pupuh Village, Banua Lima District, Barito Timur Regency, Central Kalimantan Province. Archaeological research has been conducted several times in the area of Barito Timur Regency, but the ancient settlement site has never been studied. The community believes that the site is residence of the important figures, namely Patis Uwey, who also became a forerunner to the formation of Banua Lima Kademangan. The existence of this site is known from public information that was forwarded by the local service to Balai Arkeologi Kalimantan Selatan, with the findings of foreign ceramic fragments. The research conducted at Tewah Pupuh aims to determine landscape and its chronology (relative dating). The methods used are survey, excavation, interview, mapping, and literature study. The results of the study illustrate that the ancient settlement owned by Patis Uwey was built on a small hill surrounded by a river that empties into the Tabalong River. The relative chronology based on ceramic analyses and historical data came up from 14th to 19th Century.

This research doing by survey and excavation techniques. Archaeological data found from megalithic sites in Bone Regency are presented in descriptive analysis. In addition, C14 analysis was also carried out with charcoal in Beta Analytic Inc. Miami, Florida, USA to find out its absolute date. The results showed that megalithic sites in Bone had a fairly even distribution and occupy the slope to hilltops with a height of 28 - 218 meters above sea level. The results of radiocarbon dating indicate that the age of the site and megalithic culture in Labuaja, Bone ranges from 400 - 190 BP (around the 15th-17th century AD). Based on that date, the megalithic culture in Labuaja began in the golden age of the kingdom of Bone. Megalithic culture in Bone has associations with natural resources such as rivers and rice fields which are very supportive in the activities of human life that depend on agricultural resources. With the exploitation of agricultural resources, thus produce the social system and ideology adopted by the people who reach the Islamic period.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTLasem is one of Sub Districts in Rembang Regency located in north coast of central part of Java Island. The strategic position of Lasem that is located on maritime and over-land trading route has made this area since 500 BC inhabited and has passed many different periods of human settlement ranging from prehistory, classic (Hinduism-Buddhism), Islam, colonial periods and until today. That long period of human settlements has left for us now heritages of various cultural influences including Javanese, Chinese, European, Hinduism-Buddhism, and Islamic culture. Heritage is finite and un-renewable in its nature so that it needs to be managed in order to outlive and to be inherited to the next generations. In Lasem, people have been relatively aware of that. Communities in Lasem represented by their organizations have their agendas of appreciating and preserving their heritage. However, they did them individually or not in good coordination of each other. The situation then generates an idea of coordinating activities done by communities in Lasem. Active role of those communities have to be guided and developed so that the purpose of appreciating and preserving their heritage can be achieved. This is intended as for management of heritage can be done continually. Key words: Lasem, Heritage, Heritage Management, Community based ABSTRAKLasem adalah sebuah kecamatan di Kabupaten Rembang yang terletak di pesisir utara Pulau Jawa bagian tengah. Lasem memiliki potensi luar biasa antara lain terletak di jalur perdagangan laut dan darat yang telah didiami sejak 500 tahun Sebelum Masehi diawali oleh manusia masa prasejarah, klasik, Islam, kolonial, hingga saat ini. Masa hunian manusia yang panjang di Lasem meninggalkan warisan budaya dengan berbagai pengaruh budaya diantaranya Jawa, Cina, Eropa, Klasik, dan Islam yang sebagian masih dapat dijumpai hingga saat ini. Namun demikian, warisan budaya bersifat terbatas dan tidak dapat diperbaharui sehingga perlu untuk dikelola agar berusia lebih panjang agar dapat diwariskan kembali kepada generasi selanjutnya. Pengelolaan warisan budaya yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat Lasem selama ini masih bersifat terpisah-pisah satu sama lain. Namun, peran aktif masyarakat terus dibina dan ditingkatkan agar tujuan pengelolaan warisan budaya yang berbasis masyarakat dapat segera dicapai. Pemilihan pengelolaan oleh masyarakat setempat bertujuan agar pengelolaan yang dilakukan dapat berkelanjutan. Kata Kunci: Lasem, Pengelolaan, Warisan Budaya, Basis Masyarakat.

Abstract:

Address forms constitute an integral part of Basotho sociolinguistic etiquette. They are regarded as a kind of emotional capital that may be invested in putting others at ease. They are indicators of deference, politeness and markers of social distance. (Fasold 1990, Akindele 1990, 1991, 1993) This paper examines the address forms used by the Basotho people. It analyzes and discusses the various types and the factors determining their use. The discussion of address forms in Sesotho focuses on First Name, Title plus First Name, Title plus Last Name, Nickname, Multiple Names, and Teknonym. Drawing data from semi-literate and literate urban and rural population of Maseru district of Lesotho, it was found that the commonest form of address used by the Basotho people is title plus first name. e.g. ntate Thabo (father Thabo), 'm'e Puleng (mother Puleng), ausi Maneo (sister Maneo), abuti Mahao (brother Mahao). It is used by close relations, associates, and familiar people in both formal and informal situations.

Abstract:

The present day migration of nurses from developing countries, to more developed countries,depletes these countries of this vital human resource, which is necessary to provide optimum quality nursing care to their populations. If nurse migration persists, the health systems of these countries face collapse.It is important that a nurse understands the costs and benefits of migration to their families, whom they leave behind. This is not only to curb the problems that may occur, but to help the migrant nurses to realise how migration affects their families, especially their children and spouses, before they decide to leave their home countries to work in foreign lands.The purpose of this study, which was exploratory, descriptive and qualitative, was to investigate and describe the experiences of family members, of migrant nurses, from the Maseru district of Lesotho, about the costs and benefits of nurse migration. The objectives were to explore and describe the disadvantageous costs and the benefits gained by the families of migrant nurses. These were explored through the research question ’What are the experiences of family members of migrating nurses with regard to the costs and benefits of nurse migration?’The target population of the study was families of migrant nurses from Lesotho. Using purposive sampling the families of two migrant nurses, who were colleagues of the researcher, were identified and approached to participate in the study. Snowball sampling was next utilised to recruit the remainder of the participants. In total, six families were identified and included in the study.The semi-structured interviews and field notes were the two data collection methods that were implemented. The Giorgi’s (1970) steps for data analysis, as outlined in (Burns & Grove 2001:610), were followed and seven themes were discovered as findings. The themes that relate to the costs of nurse migration are: emotional instability, weaker family connections and increased responsibility. The themes that relate to the benefits of nurse migration for their families are: better household income, improved quality of life, essential skills development and travelling opportunities.The use of communication technology is recommended to increase contact across borders in order to reduce the emotional costs of nurse migration on the families of migrant nurses. The article provides a balanced view of the costs and benefits of nurse migration on their families.

Abstract:

Abstrak. Jejak awal Pengaruh Hindu-Buddha di Sepanjang Pantai Utara Jawa Tengah: Survei Arkeologi di Kota Batang. Penelitian arkeologi di pantai utara Jawa Tengah mengenai kehidupanmasa Hindu-Buddha hampir selalu dipusatkan pada wilayah antara Kedu-Yogyakarta, yang dikuasaioleh Kerajaan Matāram pada sekitar abad ke-8–9 Masehi. Penelitian yang berupaya mempelajaridan merekonstruksi kondisi sosial masyarakat di daerah pesisir masa pra-Matāram selama ini belumpernah dilakukan. Karya tulis ini berusaha melakukan eksplorasi pada masa pra-Matāram di JawaTengah, khususnya di Kabupaten Batang yang diduga sebagai salah satu daerah yang penting padaawal periode sebelum munculnya Kerajaan Matāram di pedalaman Jawa Tengah. Pengumpulan datadilakukan melalui survei, selanjutnya data arkeologi yang relevan dilakukan analisis deksriptif untukmenjawab pertanyaan di dalam penelitian. Hasil survei berhasil mengidentifikasikan sejumlah temuanpenting seperti arca, candi dan prasasti mulai dari wilayah pesisir sampai pedalamanan KabupatenBatang. Berdasarkan identifikasi sejumlah temuan arkeologi tersebut tampak bahwa wilayah Batangsudah mendapat pengaruh Hindu-Buddha jauh sebelum munculnya Kerajaan Matāram kuna sekitarabad ke-8 M. Abstract In Coastal Central Java, archaeological research dealing with the Hindu-Buddhist periodis almost always focused on the coastal area between Kedu and Yogyakarta, which was controlledby the Matāram Kingdom around the 8-9th Century AD. Research that attempts to investigate andreconstruct the social conditions of coastal communities during the pre-Matāram period has yetto be undertaken. This paper is such an attempt. It explores Hindu-Buddhist remains in the BatangDistrict, a district which, we believe, was an important entry point for Hindu-Buddhist traditionsprior to the emergence of the Matāram Kingdom in the hinterland of Central Java. Data collectedthrough the survey, further archaeological data relevant will be conducted descriptive analysis toanswer questions in the study. The survey results have identified a number of important findingssuch as statues, temples and inscriptions ranging from coastal areas to inland Batang. Based onthe identification of a number of archaeological findings it apparent that the area in Batang alreadyappear influence of Hindu-Buddhist long before the emergence of the ancient Matāram Kingdomaround the 8th Century AD.
