<p class="Abstract"><em>Sugar Factory is a historical marker of the entry of modern industrialization in Java, the existence of a sugar factory is also a witness to the triumph of the sugar industry in Java which was once the second largest sugar supplier in the world. Sugar mills have certain architectural forms and functions, and are recognized as important architectural heritage. This study aims to identify the existence of sugar factories that once existed in Java, and look for aspects related to the importance of sugar factories as industrial heritage with qualitative descriptive methods. Research findings are expected to be useful for conservation preservation activities. The identification results show there are about 231 sugar factories that have ever existed in Java. At present, only 45 factories are still active. Most active sugar mills are located in East Java. Identification that can lead to the determination of the importance of sugar factories as industrial heritage can be seen from the aspects of location, age, function, ownership, physical condition, architectural style and historical events associated with it.</em></p>
Gunung Sewu in Wonogiri Regency has been recognized by UNESCO with its designation as a Global Geopark Natural Heritage. The recognition is based on its karst formation which considered to have universal value therefore needs to be protected. The recognition is a significant capital for tourism development. However, this global geopark is still underdeveloped in Wonogiri area. To plan tourism development in Wonogiri area which has been marginalized in decades in tourism development, we use space syntax tool. This tool which is developed in University College London has a strength in analyzing spatial configuration that can help predict human spatial behavior. The results show that the distribution of Karst formations in Gunung Sewu, Wonogiri Regency has variations in the value of the level of connectivity and integration that can be used as priority considerations in its development.
<p><em>Wonogiri regency has a huge potency, especially in its natural wealth. Limestone sites are very easy to find in wonogiri regency, but there are still many limestone sites that are not optimally managed so it is feared to be damaged and lost. The local government provides considerable support in developing the potency of the region in the field of tourism. Song Gilap Cave is one of the cave sites that has tourism potency in Wonogiri Regency, especially in Pracimantoro District. The purpose of this research is to map the tourism potency in Song Gilap Cave so that it can be developed optimally. The method of maping tourism potency in this research was carried out with SWOT analysis that discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats at the site of Song Gilap Cave. The mapping resulted in several strategies for the development of the Song Gilap Cave site area which is expected to maximize the natural potential so that it can be a forum for the surrounding community to develop themselves in the education, conservation, economic, social, and cultural fields.</em></p><p> </p>
Adipati Mangkunegara IV founded the Tasikmadu Sugar Factory in the Karanganyar region, Central Java, in 1871 and is still active today. The Tasikmadu sugar factory is an essential industrial heritage in Java because it is the first modern sugar factory in the Javanese kingdom that still survives its function. The existence of a sugar factory in the Javanese kingdom initiated the interaction between Javanese agrarian feudal culture and modern capitalism culture at that time. This paper aims to identify what cultural elements are present in Praja Mangkunegaran’s sugar factory environment. The cultural interactions in the sugar factory environment are then viewed from the system setting which consists of aspects of actors, activities, and places through a qualitative descriptive historical approach. The findings from the aspect of actors indicate central figures who are culturally very influential on the sugar factory production system. The activity aspect findings show that there are ritual activities in the production process that are culturally important because they are considered to determine the success of all activities in the sugar factory. The aspects of actors and activities are in line with findings from the aspect of the place, which show that rational considerations in factory buildings’ structure are related to the sacred-profane conception that is believed by the Javanese people. These cultural aspects play a role in supporting the sustainability of the Praja Mangkunegaran sugar factory.
