The retrieved sources provide localized examples of street naming or renaming practices in specific urban contexts but do not comprehensively document the widespread historical emergence of street naming systems across modern urbanization.
Street naming is commonly used to give directions to some places. Moreover, street names can be used to memorialize some figures, for instance, historical figures. In this case, Banyumas Regency, one of the regencies in Indonesia, mostly creates street names by implementing historical figure names. Consequently, this paper aims to explore commemorative street naming revealing historical figures as cultural memory and representation in Banyumas Regency. Specifically, this paper examines the classification of the historical figures created as street names and their historical relations to the Banyumas Regency, whether connected or not. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected from multiple sources and analyzed by identifying the commemorative street names related to each figure's historical figures and historical background in Banyumas Regency. In this investigation, the findings show that the commemorative street names of the historical figures in Banyumas Regency applied four historical figure name classifications: heroes, religious figures, political figures, and others. The dominant street names of historical figures come from the hero names. Moreover, the street names with robust connectivity related to Banyumas’ history, political figures and other figure names. The street names of heroes and religious figures are identified as national figures who are related and unrelated to Banyumas’ history. In contrast, the street names of the political figures and others came from local figures who had roles and struggled in Banyumas. In this research, to conclude, the street names in Banyumas Regency are formed diversely to commemorate and tribute the figures influenced by politics and cultural systems. Therefore, it can implicitly describe or explain the understanding of the past from generation to generation, so it becomes a cultural memory and representation embodied in Banyumas’ citizens.
(2023) studied commemorative naming strategies by presenting a comparative longitudinal study on changes in the urban to ponymy of Leipzig (Germany) and Poznań (Poland). Núñez & Dinas (2023) demonstrated democratic political elites using the power to employ places of memory along with the ideology. On the other hand , the street naming studies were also examined by approaching cultural issues. Zhang (2020) explored the street named by observing the cultural memory perspective. Mamvura et.al (2020) studied cultural landscape re -inscription in the post - independence era. Purschke (2021) determined the cultural representation of street naming practices in Luxembourg.
The following table shows the street naming in Banyumas and its connectivity to Banyumas’ history. Table 1. Frequency and Percentage of Commemorative Street Naming Patterns in Banyumas No Banyumas’ history Street Naming Total Heroes Religious Figures Political Figures Other Figures
% 1 Connected 7 13 5 9 12 22 6 11 30 56 2 Unconnected 16 30 8 15 0 0 0 0 24 44 Total 23 43 13 24 12 22 7 11 54 100 Source: Research Result As can be seen in Table 1, statistically, the commemorative street naming of heroes is dominantly found for near ly 43 percent (n=23), religion figures (24 percent, n=13), political figures (22 percent, n=12), and other figures (11 percent, n=7). The commemorative street naming of heroes consists of local and national heroes struggling in the colonial era. Unfortunately, when being examined, the street naming of heroes is not mostly involved or connected (30 percent, n=16) and the rest (13 percent, n=7) is connected to Banyumas’ history.
In addition, the street names of political and other figure names merely consist of local figures who had a role in Banyumas, so then they are unquestionably related to Banyumas’ history. These political figures are described as those who got their position in the political system such as headman, regent, governor, and chief in some areas or departments in Banyumas. It is also proved that t he street naming is exactly related to power and political system. Moreover, when invested with commemorative function, not only do street names belong to the language but also to public memory and the symbolic infrastructure of the ruling sociopolitical order ( Azaryahu, 2011).
The result of this study also supported that s treet names denoting noteworthy turning points in the history of a nation, including its political leaders, historical heroes, and mythical legends , represent the preferred narratives of collective past and identity symbolically (Kashfi, 2023). In other way, the commemorative street names become a symbol or sign associated to specific power, political, and cultural systems in Banyumas’ history embedded as cultural memory and representation to Banyumas people. Street Naming of Heroes Street naming of hero names, as shown in table 1, has the most dominant names in this study.
Also, it is implemented to socialize national figures to the local people. In addition, the street names in Banyumas are all created form Islamic religious figures who spread Islam religion to Banyumas people. Street Naming of Political Figures The political system absolutely influenced street naming, including in Banyumas. It can be shown in its street naming using political figures in Banyumas. These political figures are described as those who got their position in the political system such as headman, regent, governor, and chief in some areas or departments in Banyumas. There are some political figure names used as the street nam es, namely Ahmad Djaelani, Kom . Bambang Suprapto, Prof.

Brooklyn, coextensive with Kings County, is the most populous of the five boroughs and counties in New York City, United States. Located at the westernmost end of Long Island and formerly an independent city, Brooklyn shares a land border with the borough and county of Queens. It has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan, across the East River, including the architectur
The first half of the 19th century saw the beginning of the development of urban areas on the economically strategic East River shore of Kings County, facing the adolescent City of New York confined to Manhattan Island. The New York Navy Yard operated in Wallabout Bay (border between Fort Greene and Williamsburg) during the 19th century and two-thirds of the 20th century.
The first center of urbanization sprang up in the Town of Brooklyn, directly across from Lower Manhattan, which saw the incorporation of the Village of Brooklyn in 1816. Reliable steam ferry service across the East River to Fulton Landing converted Brooklyn Heights into a commuter town for Wall Street. Ferry Road to Jamaica Pass became Fulton Street to East New York. Town and Village were combined to form the first, kernel incarnation of the City of Brooklyn in 1834.
In a parallel development, the Town of Bushwick, farther up the river, saw the incorporation of the Village of Williamsburgh in 1827, which separated as the Town of Williamsburgh in 1840 and formed the short-lived City of Williamsburgh in 1851. Industrial deconcentration in the mid-century was bringing shipbuilding and other manufacturing to the northern part of the county. Each of the two cities and six towns in Kings County remained independent municipalities and purposely created non-aligning street grids with different naming systems.

However, the East River shore was growing too fast for the three-year-old infant City of Williamsburg; it, along with its Town of Bushwick hinterland, was subsumed within a greater City of Brooklyn in 1855, subsequently dropping the 'h' from its name.
By 1841, with the appearance of The Brooklyn Eagle, and Kings County Democrat published by Alfred G. Stevens, the growing city across the East River from Manhattan was producing its own prominent newspaper. It later became the most popular and highest circulation afternoon paper in America. The publisher changed to L. Van Anden on April 19, 1842, and the paper was renamed The Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Kings County Democrat on June 1, 1846. On May 14, 1849, the name was shortened to The Brooklyn Daily Eagle; on September 5, 1938, it was further shortened to Brooklyn Eagle. The establishment of the paper in the 1840s helped develop a separate identity for Brooklynites over the next century. The borough's soon-to-be-famous National League baseball team, the Brooklyn Dodgers, also assisted with this. Both major institutions were lost in the 1950s: the paper closed in 1955 after unsuccessful attempts at a sale following a reporters' strike, and the baseball team decamped for Los Angeles in a realignment of Major League Baseball in 1957.
Agitation against Southern slavery was stronger in Brooklyn than in New York, and under Republican leadership, the city was fervent in the Union cause in the Civil War. After the war the Henry Ward Beecher Monument was built downtown to honor a famous local abolitionist. A great victory arch was built at what was then the south end of town to celebrate the armed forces; this place is now called Grand Army Plaza.
The number of people living in Brooklyn grew rapidly early in the 19th century. There were 4,402 by 1810, 7,175 in 1820 and 15,396 by 1830. The city's population was 25,000 in 1834, but the police department comprised only 12 men on the day shift and another 12 on the night shift. Every time a rash of burglaries broke out, officials blamed burglars from New York City. Finally, in 1855, a modern police force was created, employing 150 men. Voters complained of inadequate protection and excessive costs. In 1857, the state legislature merged the Brooklyn force with that of New York City.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden: adjacent to Prospect Park is the 52-acre (21 ha) botanical garden, which includes a cherry tree esplanade, a one-acre (0.4 ha) rose garden, a Japanese hill, and pond garden, a fragrance garden, a water lily pond esplanade, several conservatories, a rock garden, a native
In Roman times, it connected Naples to the road that led to Pozzuoli and to area of the Campi Flegrei. Fuorigrotta has been a rural district until the Fascist era. The urban asset of the area was radically changed by the Fascist government since 1936, first by building the viale Augusto and by locating in the area the Mostra d'Oltremare (one of the most important Italian fair ground) and then by the construction of the Santa Maria Immacolata church. During this period many streets changed their names into Roman inspired ones: viale Augusto, via Giulio Cesare, via Caio Duilio etc. After World War II, Fuorigrotta underwent intense urban expansion and became the most densely populated area of the city.
Fuorigrotta (Neapolitan: Forerotta; lit. 'Outside the grotto') is a western quarter of Naples, southern Italy.
Covering an area of 6,2 km2, it is the most populated suburb of the city (population: 76.521).
== Geography ==
It lies beyond the Posillipo hill and has been joined to the main body of Naples by two traffic tunnels through that hill since the early 20th century.
It is the site of the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, home to the Serie A team S.S.C. Napoli and the PalaBarbuto, home of the Lega Basket Serie A team Napoli Basket. It is also the site of the new Monte Sant'Angelo campus of the University of Naples.
== Etymology and history ==
The suburb owes its name, meaning "outside the grotto", to its position: since Roman times, one or more tunnels have connected it with the district of Mergellina.
The oldest tunnel is a Roman one, the Crypta Neapolitana, connecting Fuorigrotta with Piedigrotta. In Roman times, it connected Naples to the road that led to Pozzuoli and to area of the Phlegrean Fields.
Fuorigrotta had been a rural district until the Fascist era, when the urban asset of the area was radically changed beginning in 1936, first by building Viale Augusto and by locating in the area the Mostra d'Oltremare (one of the most important Italian fair grounds), and then by the construction of the Santa Maria Immacolata church.
During this period, many streets changed their names into Roman-inspired ones: Viale Augusto, Via Giulio Cesare, Via Caio Duilio etc.
After World War II, Fuorigrotta underwent intense urban expansion and became the most densely populated area of the city.
