PARIAMAN MASA PEMERINTAHAN KOTA ADMINISTRATIF (1987-2002)

Abstract

This article explains a series of events regarding the change in status of Pariaman from a sub-district to an Administrative City of Pariaman in 1987. In researching this problem, literature studies and field studies were used with a historical approach. In the discipline of history, the steps and procedures for research work are carried out through several stages, including (1) heuristics (collecting sources). The sources used are from interviews with historical figures and actors, photo archives and documents about the City of Pariaman, old newspaper reports that wrote the story of the Autonomous City of Pariaman as primary sources. Secondary sources are taken from literature sources that explain the region and the process of forming a region in Indonesia; (2) source criticism, (3) synthesis analysis (Interpretation and histography). The results of the research that has been carried out reveal that in the process it was initially a sub-district and the capital of Padang Pariaman Regency before 1986. In 1987, Pariaman was raised to an Administrative City of Pariaman with PP No. 33 of 1986 by the Minister of Home Affairs. The issuance of Law Number 22 of 1999 stated that the status of administrative cities in the government was no longer valid, so the administrative city of Pariaman had to be raised to Autonomous City status or returned to being a sub-district and part of Padang Pariaman Regency. In 2002, the Autonomous City of Pariaman was officially established by Law Number 12 of 2002 with the status of Pariaman as an Autonomous City in the West Sumatra region after going through dynamics and struggle processes within it.
