This chapter discusses the growth of prostitution in a local settlement in the Putat Jaya area, Surabaya, from 1967 to 1999. The main interconnections among morality, colonialism, prostitution, and contemporary urbanism are explored and established so that the Putat Jaya case might shed light on the problems of prostitution and morality in urban Indonesia today. After Indonesian independence, prostitution in Surabaya grew not only around the harbor area but also in places such as a cemetery. This red-light district, which came to be known as “Dolly,” attracted crowds and new businesses, thereby creating a strong relationship between the district’s operations and local people’s social and economic conditions. This study uses archives from the 1838 Staatsblad No. 30 Collection of the Library of the Indonesia National Archives. In addition, data are derived from the magazine Liberty (1991) and from first-hand interviews.

摘要

This chapter discusses the growth of prostitution in a local settlement in the Putat Jaya area, Surabaya, from 1967 to 1999. The main interconnections among morality, colonialism, prostitution, and contemporary urbanism are explored and established so that the Putat Jaya case might shed light on the problems of prostitution and morality in urban Indonesia today. After Indonesian independence, prostitution in Surabaya grew not only around the harbor area but also in places such as a cemetery. This red-light district, which came to be known as “Dolly,” attracted crowds and new businesses, thereby creating a strong relationship between the district’s operations and local people’s social and economic conditions. This study uses archives from the 1838 Staatsblad No. 30 Collection of the Library of the Indonesia National Archives. In addition, data are derived from the magazine Liberty (1991) and from first-hand interviews.
