World Heritage Site: The Cosmological Axis of Yogyakarta and its Historic Landmarks

Publication Year: 2025

Publication Identifier: WHE0D6721E7EA

Summary

A new study reveals that the preservation of Yogyakarta's Philosophical Axis, a UNESCO-listed cultural heritage site representing the balance between humans, nature, and God, can successfully integrate tradition with modernity. This approach strengthens local identity amid globalization threats while maintaining its relevance as a center of Javanese culture. The research employed a qualitative method to analyze how conservation efforts can bridge traditional values—embodied in Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwano I's cosmological design—and contemporary demands without compromising historical integrity.
