Abstract

Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang sejarah sosial komuniti Eropah di Borneo Utara semasa era pentadbiran Syarikat Borneo Utara British (SBUB) dari tahun 1881 hingga 1941. Kehadiran komuniti Eropah di
Borneo Utara banyak dipengaruhi oleh perkembangan pentadbiran dan ekonomi, iaitu golongan pentadbir dan juga pelabur dalam industri perlombongan, pembalakan dan perladangan. Keadaan Borneo Utara
yang jauh dan masih kurang maju menyebabkan kehidupan di Borneo Utara sebagai suatu yang amat mencabar bagi komuniti Eropah. Justeru, mereka telah berusaha untuk mewujudkan suasana yang selesa dengan menganjurkan pelbagai aktiviti sosial dalam bentuk sukan, hiburan, rekreasi dan persatuan sebagai mekanisme untuk berhadapan dengan kehidupan seharian di Borneo Utara. Berpandukan kepada sumber
primer berbentuk dokumen, akhbar dan sumber sekunder, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasikan bentuk aktiviti sosial yang dilakukan oleh komuniti Eropah dalam tempoh pentadbiran SBUB. Juga menilai sejauh mana aktiviti sosial yang dilaksanakan ini sekadar berperanan untuk berinteraksi, mengisi masa lapang dan hiburan semata-mata atau mempunyai motif lain.

 

This paper discusses the social history of the European community in North Borneo during the British North Borneo Company (BNBC) era from 1881 to 1941. The presence of the European community in North Borneo was greatly influenced by the administrative and economic development of the administration and investors in the industry such as mining, logging and plantation. Northern Borneo's far from the other British’s administration has made life in Northern Borneo a very challenging one for the European community. Thus, they have sought to create a cozy atmosphere by organizing various social activities in the form of sports, entertainment, recreation and association as a mechanism to deal with everyday life in North Borneo. Based on primary sources of documents, newspapers and secondary sources, this study aims to identify the forms of social activity undertaken by the European community during the SBUB administration. It also assesses the extent to which these social activities are carried out merely as a means of interacting, filling leisure time and entertainment or having other motives.
