Pendekatan Konservasi Adaptif Terhadap Bangunan Heritage di Kawasan Kota Tua Ampenan, Mataram

Abstract

Ampenan Old Town is one of the historical areas in Mataram City that holds significant importance as a colonial
cultural heritage. The existence of heritage buildings in this area not only represents the historical development
of the city but also serves as an identity for the local community. However, many of the physical conditions of the
heritage buildings in this area have declined in quality due to a lack of maintenance and the pressures of modern
urban space needs. Therefore, a conservation approach is needed that not only focuses on physical preservation
but also considers adaptive functions so that the heritage buildings remain relevant and can be used sustainably.
This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, through literature study. The results
indicate that the adaptive conservation approach can be an effective solution for preserving the historical and
architectural values of heritage buildings, while also accommodating new functions that align with modern
developments. By applying adaptive conservation strategies, it is hoped that the Ampenan Old Town area can
continue to thrive as a dynamic cultural space, without losing its historical essence.
