 Abstract: Kali Mberok Kota Lama Semarang is a river that has a lot of history during the Dutch colonial era in Central Java. The revitalization of the Kota Lama area is now being carried out by turning old buildings into places for office activities and also for supporting tourism activities in the Old City. The development of the revitalization of the Kota Lama cultural heritage area was hampered by the problem of tidal flooding and street lighting. The waterfront concept for Kali Mberok is one solution to overcome the obstacles to revitalizing the Old City by adding green open spaces on the edge of Kali Mberok. The implementation of a waterfront in Kali mberok Kota Lama will have a positive impact on reducing buildings on the riverbank and also increasing street lighting with the addition of public open spaces. Innovatively, this study will lead and develop the potential of Kali Mberok in the design of Kali Mberok waterfront tourism around Kota Lama with an emphasis on the Waterfront conceptAbstrak: Abstrak Kali Mberok Kota Lama Semarang adalah salah sungai yang memiliki banyak sejarah di masa kolonial Belanda di Jawa Tengah.

This chapter is a lament on the tremendous material and human losses from war in Syria. Palmyra and the Old City of Aleppo are two disastrous examples. The sites of Mari, Ebla, and Emar have been looted, and archaeological investigations have ceased. All of this desecration deprives Syrians of knowledge about their identity. What are the underlying causes of this massive destruction of cultural heritage? One is the legalistic and alienating way the government preserved and presented antiquities, leaving people with little agency or understanding of their heritage. During the recent war, antiquities have been exploited by extremists for propaganda purposes to gain monetary and ideological support. At this critical juncture, it is important to educate Syrians about their heritage so that they will appreciate and protect it. Syrian school children currently have no such opportunity. History tells us, however, that Syria has the resources to recover and prosper again.

Abstract The old city of Banten Lama was an international port city developed in the 16-18th century AD. This old city, which once was the capital city of one of Indonesian Great Kingdom who has an ambassador in the Great Britain, can still be reconstructed based on the trace of monuments left scattered on the site at Kasemen District, Serang City. The preservation planning of this cultural heritage of an ancient city fits with the regional planning. Problems with this region heritage are the proximity between heritages and houses or shops and destructive activities. The data of spatial problems has never been mapped with a measured method. Spatial planning in this heritage area was done by aerial photography mapping. This paper reviews the use of the aerial photography method in planning for the preservation of space for cultural heritage areas. This method shows the existing condition of heritage buildings and sites that have proximity with houses, roads, and shops. This study shows that the preservation of the ancient city of Banten Lama can be done by providing substitutes for green open spaces for people who have been using cultural heritage sites for general recreational purposes, encouraging the development of settlements outside cultural heritage areas, and involving the community in community empowerment in the use of cultural heritage in harmony with preservation.Keywords: Banten Lama, Cultural Heritage Area Preservation, Spatial Planning, Indonesia Abstrak Kota Kuno Banten Lama merupakan kota pelabuhan internasional yang berkembang pada abad 16-18 M. Ibu kota kerajaan tradisional Indonesia yang memiliki duta besar di Inggris ini masih dapat direkonstruksi berdasarkan monumen-monumen yang tersebar di wilayah Kecamatan Kasemen, Kota Serang. Pelestarian kawasan kota kuno bersinggungan dengan penataan ruang di wilayah tersebut. Permasalahan dalam pelestarian situs dan bangunan cagar budaya di Banten adalah kedekatan jarak antara cagar budaya dengan permukiman atau pertokoan dan pemanfaatan yang tidak selaras dengan pelestarian. Data permasalahan keruangan tersebut belum pernah dipetakan dengan metode yang terukur. Tulisan ini mengulas mengenai penggunaan metode foto udara dalam perencanaan pelestarian ruang kawasan cagar budaya. Metode tersebut dapat memperlihatkan kondisi eksisting situs dan bangunan cagar budaya yang bersinggungan dengan permukiman, jalan, dan pertokoan. Kajian menunjukkan bahwa pelestarian kota kuno Banten Lama dapat dilakukan dengan menyediakan pengganti lapangan terbuka hijau bagi masyarakat yang selama ini menggunakan situs-situs cagar budaya sebagai sarana rekreasi umum, mendorong pembangunan permukiman di luar kawasan cagar budaya, dan melibatkan masyarakat dalam pemanfaatan cagar budaya yang selaras dengan pelestarian. Keywords: Banten Lama, pelestarian kawasan cagar budaya, perencanaan tata ruang, Indonesia
