Summary

The Background

The registration and documentation on cultural heritages were basically started from the data base that has made by government of Dutch Indies ever since. Banten, Surakarta, Demak and Yogyakarta are some of the cities that still kept the trace of Islam architectural heritage relatively intact Another fact was the ground plan of many Indonesian towns and cities, especially in Java, was originally laid down during the colonial era in 17th – 19th centuries (Gill, 1998). Not to disregard the vernacular architecture in heritage kampongs or villages that still occupied as living monument but because most of the historic buildings from Islam, Chinese and Dutch legacy situated in the city center, are still occupied as a living monument, have endangered and threatened by the demolitions and destruction of city developments, the increase of sea level that cause flood, material deterioration, being abandoned and lack of good infrastructure maintenance This happened because of most of Indonesian cities do not have comprehensive city master plan,.
