MENGGANTI NAMA JALAN: Menghapus Kenangan Kolonialisme Belanda

Dahulu pada masa kolonial Belanda, Jakarta sebagai ibukota Hindia Belanda dinamakan Batavia. Selama rentang waktu penguasaan kolonial di Batavia telah menggoreskan beragam kisah, peristiwa atau pun kenangan didalamnya. Mulai dari aspek politik, ekonomi, hingga sosial-budaya tak lepas kiranya dari pengaruh Belanda.

****

Pada dasarnya kota merupakan kancah dimana para penghuninya bertemu, identitas dibangun, serta segala bentuk memori kolektif saling berhadap-hadapan. Kota menjadi menjadi semacam saksi bisu tentang kompetisi antar satu kelompok penghuni, identitas kelompok, atau memori kolektif yang satu dengan yang lainnya. Kisah dan peristiwa dalam persaingan tersebut dapat diamati melalui wujud tinggalan yang dibangun penghuninya. Bangunan, taman, ruas-ruas jalan misalnya, meriwayatkan cerita-cerita bagaimana antar kekuasaan-kelompok identitas maupun memori kolektif – saling berebut untuk menciptakan narasi berdasarkan versinya masing-masing.

Financienstraat yang Sekarang Bernama Jalan Pinangsia (Sumber Foto: Koran Sin Po, 1939)

Semenjak era kemerdekaan muncul kegairahan tentang nasionalisme. Salah satu aspek dari hal itu adalah menghilangkan atau mengganti nama-nama yang berhubungan dengan bangsa penjajah. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut segala sesuatu yang berbau-bau Belanda. Banyak nama-nama yang telah kadung dikenal oleh masyarakat jadi hilang dan terlupakan.

Dalam tulisan kali ini, penulis mencoba menyajikan daftar tentang nama jalan lama (yang memakai istilah Belanda) serta nama penggantinya yang baru. Berikut adalah daftar nama-nama jalan tersebut:
