CULTURAL LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AT PLAOSAN TEMPLE

Abstract

Objective: Law Number 11/2010 on cultural heritage mandates the importance of the protection, utilization, and maintenance of cultural heritage. However, the challenges of residential development and tourism-based development often threaten cultural heritage sites, both based on the condition of cultural heritage and the historical values therein. Therefore, geospatial-based protection is needed to protect these cultural heritage sites. The protection of cultural heritage is an interesting topic as it relates to the idea of development and cultural context. Disputes between tourism development and cultural site protection often occur due to unclear zoning boundaries and delineation of cultural heritage area protection. One of the temples that experienced tourism development is Plaosan Temple located in Bugisan Village, Prambanan District, Klaten Regency, Central Java. The purpose of this study is to look at the cultural heritage landscape and conservation for preservation and development at Plaosan Temple.   Methods: The method used in Cultural Landscape Management and Environmental Protection at Plaosan Temple is a combined method between predictive model and zoning method. The process of cultural landscape management and environmental protection is carried out in a series: mapping Plaosan temple, determination of zones in Plaosan temple, validation of zones with experts, designation of cultural heritage zones.   Results: The results of landscape management and environmental protection research are in the form of a predictive map of the Plaosan Temple cultural heritage site model and a map of the Plaosan Temple integrated zone system which aims to preserve and utilize the land around the plaosan temple so that the landscape and environment can be maintained.
