Abstract

Abstrak Pembangunan infrastruktur pengangkutan adalah sangat penting bagi mengembangkan dan mempelbagaikan tanaman komersial. Limitasi jaringan keretapi dan sungai telah menyebabkan Syarikat Borneo Utara British (SBUB) untuk melaksanakan Program Pembinaan Jalan raya Humphreys pada tahun 1928, yakni memenuhi tanggungjawab aspek pentadbiran dan tuntutan kapitalis. Melalui penggunaan sumber primer yang meluas dari arkib, kajian ini mendapati bahawa jalanraya tersebut adalah satu hasil program pembinaan yang diinisiatifkan untuk meningkatkan jumlah jalanraya di luar petempatan utama dan seterusnya mempengaruhi perkembangan sektor pertanian. Namun, program tersebut terpaksa diabaikan pada tahun 1936 akibat kemelesetan ekonomi dunia. Justeru itu, adalah penting untuk melihat kesignifikanan pelaksanaan program pembinaan jalan raya ini dan memahami sebab program ini diabaikan sebelum mencapai tempoh pelaksanaan sebenar.Abstract The development of transport infrastructure is very important to develop and diversify commercial crops. The limitation of railway and river access has resulted in the British North Borneo Company (BNBC) to implement the Humphreys Road Construction Program in 1928, which fulfils the responsibility of administrative aspects and capitalist claims. Through the extensive use of primary resources from the archives, this study found that the road was a result of a construction program initiated to increase the number of roads outside the main settlement and subsequently affecting the development of the agricultural sector. However, the program had to be abandoned in 1936 due to the recession of the world economy. Hence, it is important to see the significance of the implementation of this road construction and to understand why the program was abandoned before it reached the actual period of its implementation.
