“…Selain itu, merupakan kawasan dengan kumpulan bangunan dan monumen yang signifikan secara arsitektur dan sejarah yang perlu dilindungi kelestarianya, yang merupakan bagian dari identitas kota (Chandan & Kumar, 2019). Konservasi merupakan kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan intervensi fisik atau bangunan yang memiliki nilai sejarah untuk hidup berdampingan untuk menjamin keutuhan struktural kesinambungan (Rukayah, Juwono, & Puguh, 2019). Misalnya di kota Birmingham, pemerintah kota melestarikan bangunan penting di kawasan konservasi dan memastikan bahwa setiap pembangunan memelihara atau meningkatkan karakter khusus kawasan tersebut (Rees, 1994).…”

Konservasi arsitektur dan kawasan bersejarah menjadi issu penting dalam pengembangan kota dewasa ini. Semarang memiliki Kawasan Kota Lama dengan Menara Sleko di Kawasan Sleko yang berfunsgi sebagai kawasan pelabuhan di era kolonial. Menara ini berfungsi sebagai menara pandang yang digunakan untuk memantau keadaan pelabuhan dan pedagang kecil, serta untuk istirahat para pedagang. Namun, karena kini tertutup oleh bangunan kumuh maka kemegahan bangunan Menara Sleko sebagai landmark pada kawasan Kota Kuno Semarang tak nampak lagi. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguak keberadaan Menara Sleko sebagai bagian dari Kawasan Kota Lama Semarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan penggalian sejarah dari beberapa arsip kolonial berupa buku, peta dan foto untuk menguak keberadaan Menara Sleko sebagai bagian dari Kota Lama Semarang di masa lalu. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Menara Sleko merupakan satu kesatuan rancang kota dengan kota benteng yang kini dikenal dengan nama Kota Lama Semarang. Lokasinya menjadi lansekap kota tepi sungai sebagai tempat kapal berlabuh menuju kota lama dan pusat kota Semarang. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah sebagai alat analisa maka terkuak gambaran kota lama dengan bangunan menara sebagai landmark kota di masa lalu yang terintegrasi dengan lansekap sungai yang bisa digunakan sebagai guideline konservasi kawasan Kota Lama Semarang secara utuh.

“…Conservation of both can be a further study considering that several post office buildings were built in line with the construction of the Groote Postweg in 1809-1811. Both have a substantial role in the form of city configuration along with the town square [5]. The Groote Postweg has changed the spatial configuration of Java, which was previously oriented to the axis between kingdoms in the area and trade cities on the north coast [20].…”

This paper aims to find new improvements from the post office building that mostly occupies the old building that is classified as a cultural heritage building. Architecturally, the conservation of cultural heritage has been written in regulations and laws, but the question is how to conserve the activity of the postal activities. Facing decreased customer transactions, increased competition from new technologies in digital, changing the city patterns, and the Post Office building as currently configured faces a challenging and uncertain future. Nearly half of the buildings that have been built since the 18th century are empty due to changes in the function of the post office, which no longer sends mail. The building of cultural heritage requires the conservation of content and containers that are adaptive to new functions. If conservation only relies on the uniqueness of buildings, it is found that there is a gap in the development of conservation models to adapt building and postal services to the digital influence and delivery of goods by the private sector and potential locations. By using the historical method of postal development, the history of the old city area, and the field survey to examine the shift of the present function, it is revealed that the conservation efforts that have been carried out by PT. The Indonesian Post Office not only focuses on buildings and activities but also attempts to increase the economic value of buildings in order to improve the image as post office service and strengthen the image as a gateway to the old city area of Semarang. It is found that the exposure activity was an old activity that was still attached to the post office building until now. Adaptive reuse is to accommodate activities that have relevance to post-service activities. As the architecture view, it is the unique architecture in the building and the city planning, because the post office building occupies a marker as the zero points of the city or also acts as a gateway to the old city at that time (it is possible to find other several cities). The post office building has a commercial value, which is quite high. Thereby adding commercial activities to get a better economic value can be increased (i.e., added activities for caffé, minimarket, coworking space). This recommendation will provide economic value for managers in dealing with the issue of a collapsed post office.

“…It also has a strategic location near the zero points of the city or in the city center. With this location, there was a finding that the post office building had a high value [12][13][14]. In Bandung, the ground floor of the post office on Bangka Street has been commercialized as a rental space.…”

There have been many studies on the impact of social media and the presence of freight forwarding services by private parties. Social media and private parties have an effect on post office services in the world and Indonesia. The digital era and the delivery of mail and goods through private sector services has led postal services to do some innovations. There have been several efforts by PT. Pos Indonesia in transforming businesses following the rapid changes in the business environment. The strategy of PT. Pos Indonesia is by conducting transformation covering all aspects of business, human resources, strengthening of subsidiaries, developing new products, and pushing towards digitalization. Other efforts include venturing into financial services and purchasing tickets and payment for electricity, water, and daily necessities. The post office is open longer hours from Monday to Saturday from 08:00 am to 09:00 pm. From several studies, some of the strategies carried out focus on managerial improvement. There is potential for organizational development from an architectural and urban design perspective. The method used in this study was to collect data from the aspects of architecture and urban design. The technique was used to find the potential location and commercial value of buildingsre-documenting architectural building as a research method. There found a possibility for developing the third floor of the post office as a commercial area that supports the potential of the surrounding urban space, which is full of historical values. In Indonesia, the presence of the post offices are usually in the historic cities, and the activity continues today. Due to the presence of social media and competition with private shipping service, the space of post office activities is shrinking. The rest of the unused space can be used for commercial activities in areas that support postal activities, cultural heritage values , and city heritage values. Moreover, the location is close to commercial areas and historical city areas. This recommendation can increase the financial income of PT. Pos Indonesia. This breakthrough finding can answer the question of the collapse of post offices in Indonesia due to the presence of social media and the delivery of goods through private shipping services. These efforts support building conservation activities by the application of adaptive reuse in cultural heritage buildings.
