Conservation of Tangible Cultural Heritage in Indonesia: A Review Current National Criteria for Assessing Heritage Value (original) (raw)
National criteria for accessing Indonesian cultural properties categorized as heritage are mentioned in Article five under the Law 11/2010 on Cultural Property. In general, the four criteria are not much different from the previous legislation, the Law 5/1992. National criteria serve as a guide in determining the criteria for provincial and municipal level. Therefore, this paper aims to review the national criteria based on the opinions of 33 respondents involving local people from various professions who have an interest in the heritage conservation through semi-structured interviews and nominal group technique (NGT). The preferred method purposes to increase the community involvement to improve the heritage legislation primarily on the assessment criteria for the cultural heritage value. The literature study on cultural heritage value and national criteria applied in several other countries has been completed prior to the interview to obtain valuable input in the analysis. It can be summarized that the national criteriaa as stated under this law are vague, obscure and overlap due to the blurring of meaning and conception of cultural heritage value or significance in this legislation. The results of the study highlighted the crucial evidence of the need to review the current national criteria with the involvement of community for improvement of the assessment criteria for the cultural heritage value. Besides, it would support national, provincial and municipal governments in drafting new regulations as a guideline in practice regarding the Law 11/2010 which until today most have not been published.
