ABSTRACT
With Law No. 11 on Cagar Budaya (Heritage Protection) officially signed, heritage management in Indonesia starts a new chapter. The Indonesian government not only regulates protection to sustain heritage but also expects heritage to be beneficial for national economic activity as well as national character building. However, the lack of definitive rules and multiple or different interpretations has led many regions to issue local regulations according to their interpretation. This encourages the emergence of conflicts that adversely affect the management of cultural heritage in Indonesia. One such case occurred in Onrust Archaeological Park, Jakarta. As one of the important sites of historical events in Jakarta, even Indonesia, the conflict that arose resulted in the park being unable to develop further and losing its value. Through a literature review and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, this research aims to revisit the heritage regulation on Onrust Island and try to comprehend its impacts on the management of the park.
