1. Introduction

Kampung Bugis is administratively a village in the North Tanjung Uban Village, North

Bintan District, Bintan Regency. Bintan Regency itself was previously known as Riau Islands

Regency. Riau Islands Regency has been known several centuries ago not only in the archipelago

but also abroad. Its territory is characterized by thousands of large and small islands scattered in

the South China Sea, which is why the nickname “Segantang Lada” Islands is apt to describe how

many islands there are in this area.

While geographically, North Tanjung Uban Bugis Village is located on Bintan Island. In

the 13th century on the island of Bintan, the Bintan Kingdom was established. The establishment

of the Bintan Kingdom around Bintan Bay was related to the strategic geographical conditions for

the development of marine culture and land culture (agriculture). Bintan Bay faces the Riau Strait

as shipping traffic that once connected the Sriwijaya twin areas in Palembang and Kedah,

Malaysia. The position of Bintan Bay is also quite safe for shipping because of bad weather and

big waves during the North Season and South Season in the Riau Strait. Around Bintan Bay, there

is the Bintan River which is wide and deep enough to anchor merchant ships from outside the

region in the archipelago and neighboring countries, so that Bintan Bay was once a port area with

international standard. The most important thing is the position of Bintan Bay since a long time

ago as an area in the waters of the Malacca Strait, which is always crowded with traders or traders.

2

This region has been the area most open to the various effects of globalization for a long time. In

fact, this openness contributed greatly to the growth of the Malay Kingdom civilization in the

Malacca Strait in the past.

The condition lasted from the 13-16 century. Gradually the role of the trading port on

Bintan Island was replaced by the Port of Riau (now the Riau Islands) on the Carang River. This

trading network on the Carang River was very developed in the 18-19 century under the Kingdom

of Johor Riau. His territory is not only limited to the Riau Islands, but has included Johor and

Malacca (Malaysia), Singapore and a small part of Indragiri Hilir. The center of his kingdom was

located on Penyengat Island and became famous in the archipelago and the Malacca Peninsula

area. After the Sultan of Riau died in 1911, the Dutch East Indies Government placed its emirs as

Districh Thoarden for large areas and Onder Districh Thoarden for smaller areas.

The Dutch East Indies government finally united the Riau Lingga region with Indragiri to

become a residency which was divided into two Afdellings, namely:

1. Afdelling Tanjungpinang covering the Riau – Lingga Islands, Indragiri Hilir and

Kateman domiciled in Tanjungpinang and appointed as the ruler a Resident.

2. Afdelling Indragiri who is domiciled in Rengat and governed by Assistant Resident

(under) orders of Resident. In 1940 this residency was made Residente Riau with the

inclusion of Afdelling Bengkalis (East Sumatra) and before 1945–1949 based on the

Governor General of the Dutch East Indies dated July 17, 1947 No. 9 formed the Zelf

Bestur area (Riau area).

Based on the Decree of the delegation of the Republic of Indonesia, Central Sumatra

Province dated 18 May 1950 No.9 / Deprt. merged into the Republic of Indonesia and the Riau

3

Archipelago and was given the status of a Level II Autonomous Region headed by the Regent as

a regional head in charge of the following four responsibilities:

1. Kewedanan Tanjungpinang covers the area of South Bintan sub-district (including East

Bintan, Galang, West Tanjungpinang and East Tanjungpinang districts now)

2. Kewedanan Karimun includes the districts of Karimun, Kundur and Moro

3. Kewedanan Lingga covers the districts of Lingga, Singkep and Senayang

4. Kewedanan Pulau Tujuh covers the districts of Jemaja, Siantan, Midai, Serasan,

Tambelan, West Bunguran and East Bunguran

Then based on Decree No. 26 / K / 1965 under the instruction of the Governor of Riau

dated February 10, 1964 No. 524 / A / 1964 and Instruction No. 16 / V / 1964 and the Decree of

the Governor of Riau dated 9 August 1964 No. UP / 247/5/1965, dated 15 November 1965 No.

UP / 256/5/1965 stipulated that as of January 1, 1966 all administrative areas of kewedanaan in

Riau Islands Regency were abolished.

In 1983, in accordance with Government Regulation no. 31 of 1983, the Tan-jungpinang

Administrative City has been formed which oversees 2 (two) districts, namely the West

Tanjungpinang District and the East Tanjungpinang District, and in the same year in accordance

with government regulation No. 34 of 1983 the Batam Municipality was also formed. With the

development of this area, Batam is no longer a part of the Riau Islands Regency.

Based on Law No. 53 of 1999 and Law no. 13 of 2000, the Riau Islands Regency was

divided into 3 districts consisting of: Riau Islands Regency, Karimun Regency and Natuna

Regency. The Riau Islands regency area only covers 9 sub-districts, namely: Singkep, Lingga,

Senayang, Bintan Bay, North Bintan, East Bintan, Tambelan, West Tanjungpinang and East

Tanjungpinang. Teluk Bintan District is the result of the division of Galang District. Most of the

4

Galang area is covered by Batam City. Teluk Bintan District consists of 5 villages namely Pangkil,

Pengujan, Penaga, Tembeling and Bintan Buyu.

Then with the issuance of Law No. 5 of 2001, the Administrative City of Tanjungpinang

changed to the City of Tanjungpinang which has the same status as the district. In line with the

changes in regional administration at the end of 2003, the sub-districts were divided, namely North

Bintan District into Teluk Sebong and North Bintan Districts. Lingga District became North

Lingga and Lingga District. At the end of 2003 the Lingga Regency was formed in accordance

with Law no. 31/2003, thus the Riau Islands Regency covers 6 Districts namely North Bintan, East

Bintan, Bintan Bay, Mount Kijang, Sebong Bay and Tambelan. And based on PP. 5 of 2006 dated

23 February 2006, Riau Islands Regency changed its name to Bintan Regency.

2. Tanjung Uban

Tanjung Uban, Bintan Regency (Riau Islands Province) and oil, two things that cannot be

separated. Tanjung Uban was formed into a city due to the existence of an oil base since the Dutch

era which has existed until now. The fuel oil terminal (TBBM) is managed by PT Pertamina

(Persero). The busyness of Tanjung Uban cannot be separated from the construction of an oil base

installation belonging to the Nederlandsche Koloniale Petroleum Maatschappij (NKPM) which is

now being inherited "to Pertamina. It is not an exaggeration to say that the important milestone in

the history of Tanjung Uban City began when NKPM started building an oil base. The oil base is

to accommodate the production of the Sungai Gerong refinery in the Musi River, Palembang,

whose construction was completed around 1930.1

The Dutch government built an oil filling and storage facility in 1930 which was managed

by the STANVAC (Standard Vacuum) Pertolium Compeny. Stanvac workers are Cantonese

Chinese imported from Singapore. Only in 1932, Stanvac received employees of Malay children

and migrants from outside the region. In 1934, the Chinese began to open coffee shops and grocery

stores in Tanjung Uban. Besides that, a Chinese school was also established around Cenderawasih

Village. In 1941, the Dutch East Indies Government made Tanjung Uban the center of the KNIL

(Koninkelijk Nederlands Indisch Leger) for the Riau Resident area. So an army housing complex

was built which is now the Indonesian Navy Complex.

In 1947, to help the Dutch Navy guard the coast and smuggle, the Van Sheepvaat

Department formed a task force called "Zee en Kustbeweking Dienst" (Marine and Coast Guard

Service) based in Tanjunguban. In 1949, the Indonesian Shipping Bureau built a dormitory, a pier,

a jago drinking water project which is now the KPLP / Kesyahbandaran Complex.

Since then, Tanjunguban has moved from a village to a city with all of its features which

are closely related to the oil base. Even at some point in 1948, the people of the "oil town" and all

the workers at the oil base had attained significant levels of prosperity. All basic necessities are

subsidized, so that life is like in heaven. "Oil Town Into Paradise" wrote Alan Wolstenholme in

The Straits Times newspaper, October 28, 1948.

The name Tanjunguban is based on folklore that developed in the community from an old

tree, its leaves and roots hanging down and white in color. People who see it from the sea, the tree

is like gray hair. The land at Tanjung Uuban, juts into the sea, so it is called a cape. The tree is

located next to the sacred grave of Tanjung Uban. But now it's no longer left. And the tree was

never given a name by the residents. Tanjung Uban Sacred Tomb is believed to be the tomb of a

great scholar who died on his way from the Malacca Peninsula to Betawi State in Sunda Kelapa.

During the Sultanate of Johor, Riau Lingga and Pahang, Tanjunguban already existed.

During the reign of Yang Dipertuan Muda Daeng Celak (1728-1745), a gambier plantation on

Bintan Island (including the land part of Tanjunguban) was cultivated by Chinese and Malay

workers. Meanwhile, the part of the Tanjunguban coast facing the Riau Strait is a swampy area

which is generally inhabited by Malay fishermen. So in the 18th century, Tanjunguban was already

busy with Malay and Chinese communities.

Profile of Tanjung Uban Utara Village

Tanjung Uban has transformed into a city within the Bintan Regency area. It is not

surprising that in its development, many areas have been divided into several urban villages.

One of them is North Tanjung Uban Village. Tanjung Uban Utara Village is one of the sub-

districts located within the North Bintan District, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province. The

boundaries of the area of Tanjung Uban Utara Village are: 2

North : South China Sea

South side : Keluraha Tanjung Uban Selatan

Tanjung Uban Utara Village was formed based on the Regional Regulation of Bintan

Regency Number 11 of 2007 concerning the Establishment of Toapaya Asri Village, Gunung

Kijang District, Dendun Village, Air Glubi Village in East Bintan District, North Tanjung Uban

Village, East Tanjung Uban Village in North Bintan District, Kelurahan Tembeling Tanjung in

Teluk Bintan District, Kukup Village and Pengikik Island Village in Tambelan District, Kota

Baru Village in Teluk Sebong District. Tanjung Uban Utara Village is a division originating

from the South Tanjung Uban Village, North Bintan District. Previously, it consisted of: Sungai

Tiga Village, Lembah Sari Barat Village and North Tanjung Uban Housing.

The area of Tanjung Uban Utara Village is 454,558 Ha, which is divided into residential

and residential areas, tourist areas, protected forest areas and others. The total population is 5,213

people with 1520 heads of households. In Tanjung Uban Utara Village, there are 17 Rukun

Tetangga (RT) and 6 Rukun Warga (RW), as well as community institutions such as Community

Empowerment Lempaga (LPM), Youth Organization, 6 Posyandu, and 19 Joint Business Groups

(KUBE).

Tanjung Uban Utara itself has several educational facilities including 2 play groups /

PAUD, 1 Kindergarten, 3 SD / IT, 3 SLTP / MTS and 1 SLTA. The majority of the population in

North Tanjung Uban Village are Muslims, besides that there are also residents who embrace

Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Kong Hu Chu, in Tanjung Uban Utara Village

there are 4 Mosques and 3 Musholas namely Muhajirin Mosque, Al Mustaqim Mosque, Jama

'Nurul Amin Mosque, and Al Amin Mosque.

Ethnic diversity is also found in Tanjung Uban Utara Village, including Bugis, Malay,

Javanese, Minang, Batak and many more. This is reflected in the names of their villages, such as

the existence of Kampung Jawa and Kampung Bugis. However, in their daily life, the community

9

communicates using the Riau Archipelago Malay language. However, this did not create a gap in

the community of Tanjung Uban Utara. The ethos of working together, mutual cooperation and

living side by side has been embedded in everyday social life. So it is not uncommon for people

in North Tanjung Uban to carry out mutual cooperation activities, or when there are residents who

have a celebration such as a wedding, the surrounding residents will help prepare for the event.

The dominant livelihoods of the people of Tanjung Uban Utara are fishermen and private

employees in the tourism sector. This cannot be separated from the geographical location of

Tanjung Uban Utara which is on the coast, and not far from the location of the Lagoi Tourism

Area (Bintan). The condition of the area which is located on the coast and its people who are

fishermen have resulted in the development of handicrafts produced in the Joint Business Group

(KUBE) and the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis). The fish scales craft was developed by

KUBE Manggar and Pokdarwis Sekera BERSENYUMMAS from Sekera, Tanjung Uban Utara

Village.

In the hands of these creative women, fish scales now have a selling value and regular

buyers who always order fish scales every month. This fish scale handicraft is also marketed to

the Lagoi tourist area and the tourist area around Tanjung Uban Utara.

Based on data from Energi Education (2017) which is one of the Four Pertamina Energy

which is engaged in empowering rural communities to improve the standard of living of the

community and the environment, residents of Kampung Nelayan, Tanjung Bugis, Tanjung Uban

Utara, Riau Islands, have fought against garbage. It has been started since April 2017. They have

started to utilize the cleaning equipment facilities and waste recycling machines at SMAN 5

located in the Ring I TBBM area and the Tanjung Uban LPG Depot. Garbage bins, shovels,

wheelbarrows, and machines for making organic fertilizers were sincerely given by Pertamina as

a form of environmental concern. Now residents are not only starting to learn the discipline of

disposing of garbage, they are also starting to produce organic fertilizers that can be used

personally or sold. As it turned out, these various assistance not only made the environment cleaner

but also encouraged the community to become more independent and economically independent.

3. The History of Bugis Village

Diaspora and migration is a phenomenon that is often found in the history of the nations of

the world, including Indonesia. One of the most prominent phenomena in the history of the

diaspora in the Indonesian archipelago is the Bugis diaspora since the 17th century. The Bugis

people established colonies in eastern Kalimantan, in southeast Kalimantan, Pontianak, the Malay

Peninsula, especially in the southwest of Johor, and in other areas.

12

The Bugis community is known for its tradition of merantau, in relation to merantau, one

of the studies conducted by (Naim, 2010) explains that five Indonesian ethnic groups (ethnic) are

known as the tradition of merantau, including the Bugis. Migrating for the Bugis is considered a

way to improve life and increase dignity, both self-esteem and group. That is why the Bugis

diaspora is more successful, due to the historical situation and the uniqueness of the Bugis people

for reform.3

Tanah Melayu was one of the areas that played an important role in shipping routes in the

17th century and became the destination for the Bugis people, especially after the Makassar War

ended. Trade routes largely determine the goals of Bugis migrants. This can be the basis when

tracing their overseas destination areas, because it is with voyages that they reach their overseas

places. The journey of the Bugis maid was very dependent on shipping. Johor is one of the areas

that became his destination.4

The power struggles that took place in Johor during that period also influenced the position

of the Bugis. This began with the arrival of a Bugis aristocrat named Opu Daeng Rilakka along

with his five sons in the 17th century. It was they who later succeeded in entering the circle of

power in the Johor region. The five sons of Daeng Rilakka were named Opu Daeng Parani, Opu

Daeng Manambung, Opu Daeng Marewa, Opu Daeng Cella '(Celak) and Opu Daeng Kamase.

The occurrence of a power struggle in the Johor region allows each community group the

opportunity to seize influence. Kesuma called the Portuguese and the Dutch as the two foreign

powers that once controlled Johor. Portuguese rule between 1511-1641 and the Netherlands in

1641-1795. Before that there was the Malacca kingdom which ruled from 1401 to 1511.

The involvement of the Bugis people in the power struggle conflict in Johor began when

the reign of Sultan Mahmud Shah II who ruled from 1685-1699 ended. The appointment of

treasurer Abdul Jalil Rahmat Shah IV to become Sultan replacing Sultan Mahmud Shah II was the

beginning of a power struggle in Johor. The son of Sultan Mahmud Shah II named Raja Kecil of

Siak claimed the throne of the kingdom. Not only three (Malacca, Portuguese and Dutch) who ever

controlled Johor, there was still the British and the invasion of Aceh and and Siak.

The three Daeng brothers, starting with Daeng Marewa, Daeng Celak and Daeng Perani,

held strategic positions in the Sultanate of Johor as Yang Dipertuan Muda (YDM). Daeng Marewa

started as YDM I, then replaced by Daeng Celak as YDM and Daeng Perani as YDM III. The next

YDM office holder is a descendant of the Daeng brothers. This indicates the large influence of the

Bugis group at the palace as the head of government. Meanwhile, the sultan as a symbol is held

by the Malay group.

There are a number of diaspora backgrounds from the early Bugis people to other areas of

the archipelago, namely the enthusiasm to migrate (massompe '). Bugis people always try to find

a place that is considered proper for them to live, work, live in society and others. As long as this

has not been achieved, the overseas will never end. Migration from Bugis people is also motivated

by the culture of siri 'which is the way of life of the Bugis people. The dynamics of the Bugis

diaspora were also marked by the fall of Makassar to the Dutch in 1667.

The migration of the Bugis people increased in the following years to various regions in

Southeast Asia. The cause of this migration movement was the strict commercial restrictions

imposed by the Dutch on Makassar's trade. The continuity of the Bugis diaspora which lasted until

14

the 19th and 20th centuries, was preserved thanks to the role of Bugis shipping and trade. The

correlation between shipping and trade and the migration flows of the Bugis people occurred in

almost all areas of the Bugis colonies in the Dutch East Indies and the Malay peninsula.

In Tanah Melayu, during the era of the Johor Riau Lingga Pahang Sultanate until the

collapse of the Riau Lingga Kingdom, the relationship between Bugis and Malay, such as skin and

flesh, is difficult to separate. The presence of the Bugis in the Johor-Riau-Lingga-Pahang Kingdom

brought about significant changes in the royal government structure. It cannot be denied that the

traditional government system of the Malay kingdom began to change with the entry of the Bugis

into the government structure as Yang Dipertuan Muda. The position given by Sultan Sulaiman

Badrul Alamsyah I was specifically reserved for the descendants of Daeng Rilakka who had helped

him seize the throne from Sultan Abdul Jalil Rahmat Syah.

The position of the Young Dipertuan can be compared to the position of a prime minister.

When the inauguration or inauguration of Sultan Sulaiman as sultan and the appointment of Daeng

Marewa as Yang Dipertuan Muda, automatically several old positions such as royal treasurer were

abolished. The positions held by Bugis descendants are passed from generation to generation. The

progress of Yang Dipertuan Muda was then considered to be very dominating, so that it indirectly

ignored the sultan as Yang Dipertuan Besar. The displeasure of some Malays became a separate

obstacle for the Bugis descendants, however these problems could still be resolved with diplomacy

and the repetition of the Bugis Malay pledge of allegiance. During its development, the dedication

of the Yang Dipertuan Muda to build, develop and maintain the Riau Lingga Kingdom began to

eliminate the boundaries between Malay and Bugis. 5

Bugis people are everywhere. Kampung Bugis is scattered throughout the archipelago,

even abroad. In the Riau Islands, until now there are a number of villages called Kampung Bugis.

In Batam, Bugis Village is behind the field. In Daik Lingga, there is also a Bugis Village. In

Tanjungpinang, the name Bugis Village is the name of the sub-district in Tanjungpinang Kota

District. The name Kampung Bugis is also found in Tanjunguban Utara Village, North Regency.

Zainal and Wahyuni (2018) explained that there are three groups of Bugis people in the

Kampung Bugis Village, Tanjungpinang City, seen from the origin of their birth. Namely, Bugis

people who were born and raised in Sumatra who later settled in the city of Tanjungpinang.

Second, the Bugis who were born and raised in South Sulawesi then migrated to Tanjungpinang.

Third, the Bugis who were born and raised in the city of Tanjungpinang. 6

The Bugis who live in the Bugis Village in the North Tanjung Uban Village, most likely

the Bugis who were born and raised on Bintan Island. In addition, there are also those who were

born in the Sumatra region who have just migrated to Bintan Island. Even though the name is

Bugis Village, the conditions of the people in the village are mixed with other ethnic groups.

4. The Charm Of Bugis Village Tourism

Bintan is a paradise destination for foreign tourists and domestic tourists who want to witness

the beauty of its beautiful beaches. Many choices for a place to relax. Starting from the global

Lagoi Tourism Area or beautiful and still beautiful beaches managed by the government and the

community. The options can be to the Trikora Beach area in Teluk Bintan District and also to the

beach in the North Bintan District area. The best choice is on the beach in Bugis Village and Sekera

Village in Tanjung Uban Utara Village.

The choice of vacationing to the beach in Bugis Village is an option because of its strategic

location, not far from the city center of Tanjung Uban. From Bulang Linggi Port and Roro Tanjung

Uban Port, the distance is quite close. Can be reached between 15-20 minutes by four-wheeled

vehicles. The road condition is quite good asphalt although the size is not big. The main road is

located not far from the beach leading to Kampung Bugis from Tanjung Uban.

Bugis Village Beach Park


The favorite object in Kampung Bugis is the Kampung Bugis Beach Tourism Park.

Inaugurated by the Regent of Bintan, Ansar Ahmad on 31 March 2015. The location is quite wide.

Apart from beaches with white sand, there are also various places to relax. Includes a number of

bungalows that visitors can enjoy. In the location there are also a number of canteens selling

various Malay culinary delights, including coffee and so on. Do not miss the young coconut which

is delicious to enjoy during the day in hot weather conditions.

The Writing Of Kampung Bugis Is Beautifully Crafted In The Kampung Bugis Tourism Park


21

In the coastal area of Taman Wisata Kampung Bugis, a location for photo shoots is also

provided. Visitors who want to take pictures at this location will cost IDR 5,000. The location is

quite beautiful due to the background of a number of islands in the distance, as well as Batam

Island across. The condition of the beach is quite well maintained and safe to visit. During the

Covid 19 pandemic in 2021, crowded visitors come only on Saturdays and Sundays, and during

the holiday season.

There are a number of beaches managed by the community along the Bugis Village. The

interesting thing is that the beach name sign is made uniform so that it looks beautiful to the eye.

These beaches include Dinda Beach, Losari Beach and Tuah Hamid Beach, as well as Ronggolawe

Beach. There are many traditional Malay culinary snacks, such as otak-otak and other cakes.

It can be said that in Bugis Village, all sea views and beaches are clean. Likewise,

fishermen and the residents are very friendly. Based on Energi Berdikari (2017) data, residents of

Kampung Nelayan on Kampung Bugis Beach, Tanjung Uban Utara Village, Bintan, Riau Islands

have worked together to free the coast from rubbish by maintaining cleanliness and managing

waste.

Another interesting thing is that the waters of Kampung Bugis have quite a lot of

attention from researchers. This is because the waters of Kampung Bugis, have a wide

enough seagrass ecosystem that has the potential to produce nutrients from leaf litter,

there is anthropogenic activity and there are also swamp waters that flow offshore, of course,

will affect the fertility of a waters. The impact is that many fish habitats are found in these

25

waters.7 It is not only the people of Kampung Bugis who live as fishermen. Tourists who

have a vacation in Bugis Village can channel their hobby of fishing.

5. Playground

The community of North Tanjunguban Bugis Village, apart from having a number of

beaches managed by the community, also has an open space as a playground which is owned

by an individual named Mr. Lim. Open space is one of the elements of urban design in a

broad scope or a residential environment in a smaller scope. The availability of open space,

both green open space and non-green open space, is a requirement in the construction of a

residential area that has functions, among others, as a place to play, a place to exercise, a

place to relax, a place for social communication, a barrier or distance between building

masses, freshen the air, absorb rainwater, maintaining the continuity of the micro climate

and others. This was supported by Permendagri No. 1 of 2007 which states that the green

open space of an area functions and is useful as a means of aesthetics and a means of active,

passive recreation and social interaction which can be in the form of recreational parks,

residential and residential neighborhood parks.
