- Abstract
The development of Makassar City began from the conquest of Gowa’s Kingdom by the VOC (Verenigde Oost Indische Compagnie) in 1667 which was marked by the Bungaya Treaty. One of the common grounds was to destroy all the fortresses owned by the Kingdom of Gowa, except Fort Ujungpandang. Speelman, leader of the VOC changed the name Ujungpandang Fortress to Fort Rotterdam and arranged settlements around it based on ethnicity. The research method used were library and field research. Literature research was obtained from Balai Pelestarian Peninggalan Purbakala (BP3) Makassar, Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah (Bappeda), Dinas Kebudayaan, Museum of Makassar and other literature review. The research indicates that history of the development of Makassar is inseparable from the role of colonialism that had taken place in Indonesia. During this period a number of physical buildings and supporting facilities were established like office buildings, educational facilities, residences, places of worship, hospitals, military buildings and public facilities. Makassar’s physical development was followed by the administrative progress. Based on the Decentralization Act 1903 in conjunction with Algemeene Matregel van Bestuur 1903, Makassar was officially designated as an autonomous region or Makassar Gemeente which was effective since April 1, 1906, since then Makassar has developed as an autonomous government.
