Heritage management: the value discontinuation of heritage sites in indonesia: problem and challenges

Abstract

Abstract Indonesia was evolving in the term of cultural beliefs and value as well as their Identity. This process is well recorded by many archeological shreds of evidence from the pre-history, enlightenment era to the modern era. The problem of this shifting culture occurs when the archeological objects do not currently represent the identity of the society anymore. The objects that were valued are now experiencing value discontinuation. From sacred to profane, from hailed to abandoned, even some objects are being disregarded. This paper aimed to identify what value that has been discontinued from the tangible heritage sites in Indonesia. Observing three study cases: Shiva-Budha, Hindu, and also Islamic Heritage, this study concludes there is discontinuation in historic, aesthetic, social, and scientific values.
