Abstract

This study aims to explore and thoroughly examine the architectural typology of cultural heritage buildings in Jakarta's Old City and formulate strategic recommendations that can support the preservation and development of the area to meet the criteria for World Heritage Site designation. This study used qualitative research methods through field observations, visual documentation, and literature review to identify the main problems and challenges faced in the area's conservation and revitalization process. The results identified three categories of building conditions: well-restored buildings, revitalized buildings that have lost some of their authenticity, and neglected buildings. Several buildings in Kota Tua still retain their Art Deco characteristics throughout or in combination with other styles. The results are in the form of strategic recommendations to strengthen the opportunities for Jakarta's Old City to become a World Heritage Site.
