Risk Assessment of Various Trees Grown in the Inner Part of First Zone to the Preservation of Borobudur Temple

A risk assessment of trees within the inner part of Zone 1 at Borobudur Temple reveals that certain species, such as Ficus benjamina and Albizia chinensis, pose significant threats to the temple's structural integrity due to their root systems and potential for damage. The study employed a combination of field observations, soil analysis, and historical documentation to evaluate risks, identifying critical factors like root proximity to temple foundations and tree species' growth patterns. These findings underscore the need for targeted vegetation management strategies to balance conservation efforts with the preservation of Borobudur's architectural integrity.
