One of the characteristics of colonial cities on Java which came to the fore during the last thirty-five years of Dutch rule was the presence within the boundaries of the urban municipalities {Stadsgemeenten) of indigenous villages which existed as independent entities, self-regulating in their internal (huishoudelijk) affairs, and whose autonomy was guaranteed by the Dutch East Indian Constitution (Regeeringsregle ment) of 1854.1 The inclusion of extensive and often populous villages (both kampongs and desas) within the boundaries of the cities but outside the jurisdiction of the city councils led to differences in what might be termed the are al distribution of prosperity, that is, the juxtaposition within the cities of contiguous areas varying in physical attractiveness, population densities, hygienic conditions and standards of living, as well as to variations in the effectiveness of governing authority.2 Such differentiation led to tension between the city govern ments and the population of the indigenous villages as both sought to change conditions in the city kampongs and to introduce to them the physical standards of the urban environment which the city councils had succeeded in maintaining in the European parts of the cities
