Abstract

This article discusses the journey of Boom Batu Port in Jambi from a historical port to a modern commercial destination, focusing on the impact of the World Trade Center (WTC) mall construction, which led to the loss of part of this cultural heritage site. Using historical research methods and library-based data collection techniques, this study aims to uncover the role of Boom Batu Port in the social, economic, and cultural aspects of Jambi's community, as well as how modernization threatens the preservation of this historical site. Data were collected through a literature review, referencing historical documents, records, and other relevant literature. The findings reveal that although commercial development brings positive economic impacts, the loss of Boom Batu Port’s heritage value diminishes Jambi's historical significance and cultural identity. This study hopes to provide a critical perspective on the importance of balancing modernization with the preservation of historical heritage amid economic growth.

Review

This article presents a timely and relevant exploration of the transformation of Pelabuhan Boom Batu Jambi, tracing its evolution from a significant historical port to a modern commercial hub. The abstract clearly outlines the paper's central concern: the dual impact of the World Trade Center (WTC) mall's construction, which simultaneously symbolizes commercial progress and poses a direct threat to the port's historical integrity and cultural heritage. The study's aim to uncover the port's multifaceted role in Jambi's community and to critically assess the challenges of modernization against heritage preservation is well-articulated and establishes a compelling research question. Methodologically, the reliance on historical research methods and library-based data collection, including a comprehensive literature review and referencing of historical documents, appears appropriate for addressing the research objectives. This approach is well-suited to reconstruct the historical narrative of Boom Batu Port and to document the changes it has undergone. The abstract's clear statement of findings—that while commercial development yields economic benefits, it unfortunately diminishes Jambi's historical significance and cultural identity through heritage loss—demonstrates a focused analysis and a coherent argument. The identification of this tension is a core strength. While the abstract effectively establishes the problem and methodology, the full paper could potentially benefit from a more explicit discussion of the specific elements of cultural heritage lost or threatened, moving beyond the general statement. Additionally, exploring the perspectives of various stakeholders (e.g., local communities, government bodies, developers) on this balancing act would further enrich the "critical perspective" promised. Nonetheless, the article's stated aspiration to provide a critical perspective on balancing modernization with heritage preservation is commendable and makes a valuable contribution to the discourse on urban development and cultural memory, promising important insights into a universal challenge.
