A. BACKGROUND
Cultural landscapes represent the combined works of nature and of man. They
are illustrative of the evolution of human society and settlement over time,
under the influence of physical constraints and/or opportunities presented by
the natural environment and of successive social, economic and cultural forces,
both external and internal. UNESCO, 1992 Visual art exhibition THE THOUSAND
MYSTERIES OF BOROBUDUR will be held at Jogja Gallery, Yogyakarta on 20 April
2007 to 11 May 2007. Along with this exhibition a series of educational
programmes as side events will be co-organized by Universitas Gadjah Mada and
UNESCO in collaboration with several parties. These educational side events
will focus on the current issues of Borobudur and its cultural landscape
heritage. One of the side events is the First International Symposium of
Borobudur Cultural Landscape Heritage: Regional Conservation Planning.
Cultural landscape or Saujana heritage is the inextricable unity between nature
and manmade heritage in space and time or the variety of interactive
manifestation between manmade heritage and natural environment. The interaction
of nature and culture has become a new perspective in global discourse of
sciences especially those which concern with heritage conservation started in
the end of the 80s. However, in the Indonesian higher education as well as
the discourse on cultural landscape has not yet developed. Whereas in fact,
Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke is a mosaic of one of the worlds largest
cultural landscape diversity that needs interdisciplinary developed.
In 2003, Indonesia Network for Heritage Conservation (INHC) in collaboration
with International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Indonesia and
Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Indonesia Heritage Year 2003 (theme:
Celebrating Diversity) declared Indonesian Charter for Heritage Conservation
2003 which among other shares the understanding that:
1. The heritage of Indonesia is the legacy of nature, culture and saujana,
the weave of two. Natural heritage is the construct of nature. Manmade heritage
is the legacy of thought, emotion, intentions, and works that spring from over
500 ethnic groups in Tanah Air Indonesia, singularly, and together as one
nation, and from the interactions with other cultures throughout its lengths of
history. Saujana heritage is the inextricable unity between nature and manmade
heritage in space and time.
2. Cultural heritage includes both tangible and intangible legacies;
3. Heritage, bequeathed from the generations that precede us, is the vital
foundation and initial capital for the development of the Indonesian nation in
the future, and for these reasons, must be conserved and passed along to the
next generation in good condition, without loss of value, and if possible with
an enhanced value, to form heritage for the future
Meanwhile Borobudur UNESCO Expert Meeting held in July 2003 stated that a study
on Borobudur cultural landscape is urgent to be conducted. Started in 2004,
Indonesian Government through Department of Culture and Tourism has prepared
2nd Stage of Borobudur Restoration emphasized on Intangible Cultural Heritage
and community empowerment.
In order to response various needs on cultural landscape heritage conservation
development, either in the scientific and practical needs, since 2004 the
International Field School of Borobudur Cultural Landscape Heritage
Conservation has been annually organized by Center for Heritage Conservation,
Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas
Gadjah Mada in collaboration with Takada-Kanki Laboratory, Housing and
Environmental Design, Graduate School of Urban, Environmental Engineering,
Kyoto University, Japan; Miyagawa Seminar, Dept. of Environmental System,
Wakayama University, Japan; Indonesia Heritage Trust, and Jogja Heritage
Society.
