“…Despite this heritage law being in place for over a decade, Indonesia is yet to inscribe a single underwater cultural heritage site. Indonesian government sources attribute this to both a lack of human resources as well as the absence of operational guidelines in the form of government regulations (Lukman et al 2021;Fitri and Ahmad 2017).29…”

“…As the legislative landscape relating to underwater cultural heritage management became more complex, so too did the division of institutional responsibility. The problem was one of overlapping authority, within and across the national, provincial, and local levels of government (Mochtar 2016;Fitri and Ahmad 2017).32 Law No. 11/2010 states that the ministry with responsibilities for cultural affairs-that is, the Ministry of Education and Culture-is charged with researching, protecting, and preserving cultural heritage sites, including underwater cultural heritage sites (Article 1 ( 38 Within this ministry, these heritage-focused responsibilities fall to a number of functional units and are part of a broader focus that also includes ocean dynamics, physical environment conditions and marine biodiversity, and the identification of threats to underwater cultural heritage sites.…”

“…Despite this, inter-agency coordination still has not been institutionalized, meaning that coordination efforts are largely dependent on the efforts of individual officers and the political will of regional leaders (Fitri and Ahmad 2017:293). This poses potentially negative consequences for the overall policy implementation process (Tahir 2017;Mochtar 2016;Fitri and Ahmad 2017). Heritage, it would seem, is not immune from the broader lack of inter-agency coordination, and the resulting implementation failures, in Indonesia.35…”

“…At the time of the Geldermalsen's salvage, Indonesia's extant heritage law dated to the Dutch colonial era (Fitri and Ahmad 2017;Fitri, Ahmad, and Ahmad 2015), Indonesia having inherited Dutch law as it stood when independence was declared.4 The other regulatory instrument in play at the time was the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (unclos), which Indonesia ratified in 1985 through Law No. 17/1985.5 Although unclos made marginally more provision for archaeological and historical objects found at sea (Lee 2003:21), only two of its articles address underwater cultural heritage directly (O'Keefe 1999).…”

This article reviews historical legislation relating to the management of shipwrecks in Indonesia, examining issues relating to terminology, division of authority, and implementation. It focuses on the evolution of Indonesia’s commercial salvage legislation, from its introduction in 1989 to its abrupt cessation in 2010, when a moratorium was introduced. While the moratorium was interpreted as a sign that Indonesia was moving closer to internationally accepted principles regarding the management of underwater cultural heritage, the introduction of a new law unrelated to maritime heritage has instead disturbed this anticipated trajectory. Designed to stimulate job opportunities, Law No. 11/2020 on Job Creation has, perversely, raised the prospect that the moratorium will be repealed. As this article demonstrates, the changing conceptualization of the value of shipwrecks and their cargoes remains a live issue in Indonesia, reflecting unresolved tensions about its identity as a maritime nation.

This paper describes the issues and challenges in safeguarding and protecting the urban heritage in Medan by observing the town heritage of Medan and interviewing the local communities. The Indonesian Law on Cultural Property Conservation number 11 the year of 2010 allows the provincial and local government for the greater representation in managing and conserving their cultural heritage. This paper also discusses the gaps in that current town planning to assist the heritage conservation in Medan. Through a semi-structured interview, field survey and the SWOT analysis, the research found a broad overview of the challenges in heritage conservation in Medan. For example, overlapping duties, lack of clarity regarding jurisdiction and the lack of inter-organization coordination between government agencies that are significant obstacles to meeting the goals of heritage conservation. Another critical problem in Medan is registration and designation. In conclusion, the local government of Medan has paid less attention to the protection of their heritage during the last three decades. Meanwhile, the awareness of the local community at the grassroots increased; however, the concepts of an active role for the community and integrated conservation linked to the town planning are underdeveloped. Therefore, it has also caused the recent heritage conservation program challenging to achieve its objectives.

The paper explores the significance of the Merdeka-Kesawan that is a historic city center Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Also, it describes the conflicts and potentials outcome of heritage conservation and development interventions by carrying out the observation and the unstructured interview to the local communities. The group discussion meeting was performed to get a consensus on the statement of significance of the area. The Merdeka-Kesawan is the heart of Medan city that up to the date it still has control and organizes the economic activity of the town covering an area of approximately 62 hectares. The pattern of the Merdeka historic area was different from the Kesawan area. Until the late 20th Century, the pattern and townscape have significant changes. Besides, the study highlighted that the Merdeka-Kesawan is losing its character and functionality due to the development plans have much ignored the historic urban landscape. Therefore, it is recommended to the Medan Municipal Government to develop comprehensive planning through historic urban landscape approach. Besides, it needs to improve the level of collaboration between conservation organizations and the local community to achieve the perspective win-win solution. Medan Municipal should develop a Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) collaboration among conservation organizations and the local community to government in fulfilling the dual goals of heritage conservation and development.
