STRATEGI PENAFSIRAN PUSAKA DI KEUSKUPAN AGUNG SEMARANG (STUDI KASUS SITUS RANDUSARI – SEMARANG)

Abstract

Many studies on the preservation of cultural heritage have been carried out, but only focus on the physical aspect. Studies that only focus on the physical do not have the power to last long because conservation activities will only focus on how to return the investment on physical development. The research aims to find significance in the interpretation and meaning of heritage preservation which will form the basis of a comprehensive and sustainable conservation strategy. This study uses the Historical Interpretation Strategy (HIS) as part of the seven steps of Heritage Urban Landscape (HUL). History tracing is done by diachronic and synchronic methods. The case study was conducted at the Randusari site in the Archdiocese of Semarang by conducting field surveys, interviews, questionnaires and a Discussion Group Forum with the Archdiocese of Semarang, government officials and professional associations. This study finds significance in the interpretation of heirlooms and the meaning of heirlooms at the Randusari Site, such as Education, Youth, Humanity and Catholicism as the basis for conservation at the Randusari Site.
