2024-01-26T10:06:12+07:00

The hilly area of Gunung Wungkal, with its fluvial-volcanic plains and denudational hill landforms, has a relatively compound historical-culture in the form of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic potentials. This research is aimed to identify the archaeological, historical, and ethnographic potentials in the area and the formation of the archeological landscape. Quantum-GIS mapping software was applied to spatially analyze the intended area. This research shows that the hilly landscape of the Gunung Wungkal has been spatio-temporally shaped by the occurrence of archaeological remains, historic events, ethnographic perception, as well as the characteristic of local geomorphology. Two landform units are recognized to have different roles. The denudational hills landform is used as a sacred space, while the fluvial-volcanic plains is functioned as communal spaces. In addition, water springs are an important factor of the landscape that greatly influences the formation of the community landscape. Apart from being natural resources, they are also cultural resources that give rise to myths and legends.

The success of agriculture lies in the condition and management of the land, irrigation system, and the participation of the community. It refers to prosperity not only to farmers, but also to the country. The first modern agricultural system in Indonesia was established in the Majapahit era. The agricultural system has advanced and played an important role in contributing prosperity at that time so that it can be revitalized in the present. The purpose of this study is to understand the agricultural irrigation system during the Majapahit period based on inscription and artifact data in Trowulan, analyze the relationship between agricultural irrigation systems and Majapahit prosperity, and identify Majapahit irrigation systems that can be applied in the present. Data retrieval methods are online and offline. Online data retrieval is done with literature, while offline is done with observations, field surveys, and interviews. The data analysis technique in this study is qualitative descriptive. The progress of the Majapahit irrigation system is evidenced by the existence of various archaeological and non-artifactual dwellings. Some artifactual evidence such as terracotta pipelines, canals, old reservoirs, artificial ponds, and temple reliefs. While non-artifactual evidence can be seen in various inscriptions, books, and ancient literary works. Geographical conditions that support causing agriculture to grow rapidly so that the Majapahit agricultural system has a considerable role related to prosperity. Majapahit irrigation system that can be reapplied in the present is an underground irrigation system that is more effective and suitable in areas that have a relatively dry climate. There are several challenges in its application such as the existence of linggan and climate change.
