“…This was because it showed the initial geographical names in the Kulon Progo Regency before they were changed as well as the relationship of the geographical names with the historical or original physical condition of the region. According to Apriadsa et al [11], the most recent maps of the Dutch colonial era contain more complete geographical names than the latest paper version of the RBI physical and cultural portrait in Java. Irrespective of the fact that there were slight alterations in some places due to the scale of the map, yet valid information was provided…”

Kulon Progo Regency, part of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, has undergone political and administrative divisions, thereby leading to a dynamic geographical name change. Presently, this regency does not yet have a database for geographical names, which are part of cultural heritage to reveal historical events. Therefore, this study aims to conduct an inventory of geographical names in the Kulon Progo Regency through multitemporal historical maps and interpret their meanings. The inventory was carried out by digitizing scanned topographic maps stored on the Leiden University repository website and interpreting the meaning of geographical names through dictionaries and history books. Inventory using historical maps is an effective method of revealing past events. The result found that physical geographical names dominated 78 or 54% of villages, with 45%, 35%, and 20% consisting of biotic, non-biotic and topological aspects. Meanwhile, non-physical geographical names comprised 61 villages, incorporating 26%, 8% and 10% social, economic and cultural aspects.

“…Changes in geographical names tend to occur occasionally, irrespective of their dynamic properties. The natural and artificial phenomena influence these in an area [3]. Kulon Progo Regency is typical proof of a change in the geographic name of the district.…”

“…The linguistic substance of geographical names, such as morphology and semantics, was analyzed together with the history of the bestowal of the names [5]. Literature studies on geographical names have been carried out in various locations, including in Guangdong Province in 2016 [6], in the Sinai Peninsula in 2018 [2], in the Magelang and Menoreh Mountains in 2019 [7,8], and in the Province of Trento, Northern Italy, in 2021 [9]. Studies can be carried out on geographical names that are still valid today or on historical geographical names collected from historical maps and historical documents.…”

Nagari names in Agam Regency are lacking historical record despite being a fundamental spatial information. Preliminary research has revealed inconsistencies in nagari name records, even in official government documents. This paper conducts an analysis of nagari names within Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Geographical names depict both the natural landscape and human activities, including their interaction with the environment [1], and Agam Regency spans from sea level to 2891 meters, featuring diverse landscapes, while the formation of nagari is deeply rooted in local customary law. This raises a question: what are nagari names in Agam Regency, and what do they signify?. Therefore, the objectives are: 1) establishing a digital nagari name database for Agam Regency, and 2) analysing geographical names based on linguistic and historical meanings. Primary methods used are interviews and literature studies. Approximately 52.44% of names are related to man-made features, human activities, and interactions, while others derive from natural features or a combination of both. Nagari names were found to be clustered around Bukittinggi and Lubuk Basung, historically significant regions. This study contributes to the preservation of nagari names in Agam Regency, and the digital database holds potential for further spatial analyses.

“…Indonesia possesses several historical maps with considerable untapped potential 2 . Historical maps have been utilized in several applications in recent years, including spatial planning 3 , geographical names study [4][5][6] , reconstruction 7 , and particularly for monitoring and assessing changes in land 8 . Yang et al employ other sources to substantiate the utilization of historical maps, specifically by including satellite images to demarcate long-term alterations in wetlands within the Taihu Lake Basin, China 9 .…”

Indonesia was under Dutch colonial authority for several centuries, during which mapping activities were carried out to serve the interests of the ruling government. Indonesia possesses several historical maps with significant potential, although their utilization remains incomplete. This research aims to explore the possible applications of historical maps, particularly in the context of organizing historical coastlines. The historical maps included in this project originate from the years 1896, 1898, 1920, and 1944 and have undergone georeferencing and digitizing processes. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) utilizes the Net Shoreline Movement (NSM) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) statistical techniques to assess shoreline changes. The outcome of this study is a cartographic representation of the alteration in the coastline of Tangerang Regency, accompanied by a graphical depiction of the shoreline's transformation. The accuracy of the results is compromised due to variations in historical maps originating from different time periods, resulting in differing geographical perspectives across authors. Consequently, the reliability of the accuracy is diminished. Nevertheless, these limits restrict the extent to which geography may be advanced based on each individual map.
