One of the team's primary activities is to directly inspect the proposed core zone boundaries in the field. This inspection is conducted to ensure that the planned boundary lines align with the actual conditions of the area surrounding the Gunung Padang site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temporary boundary points are marked using red-painted bamboo stakes spaced approximately 10 meters apart along the proposed boundary line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team also conducted a detailed land-use survey at a mapping scale of 1:1,000. Observations revealed that the area proposed for inclusion in the new core zone is not entirely in a natural state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A number of permanent and semi-permanent structures were found in the area, including villas, residents' homes, small shops, huts, prayer rooms, and a tourism information center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That condition is one of the factors considered in the organization of the core zone. According to the team, site protection concerns not only the main monument itself but also the surrounding space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buildings and vegetation with dense canopies, for instance, can obstruct visitors' views of the monument. Therefore, the spatial conditions surrounding the site need to be taken into account when managing the site area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taqyuddin stated that this activity aims to support the preservation of the cultural heritage site; the recording of up-to-date data will be used for zoning\u2014to be formalized via a Ministerial Decree\u2014that serves as the legal basis for activities at the Gunung Padang National-Level Cultural Heritage Site (SCBPN). Mapping is required to provide a more comprehensive overview of the site's condition prior to the establishment of the core zone boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDetailed mapping allows us to view the site\u2019s condition more comprehensively, including the relationships between the cultural heritage site boundaries, land use, structures, vegetation, and the surrounding spatial layout. Such data is crucial to ensuring that protection policies are not only administratively sound but also aligned with actual conditions on the ground,\u201d said Taqyuddin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to land-use conditions, the team examined the alignment of the proposed core zone with prevailing spatial planning regulations. This analysis was conducted by comparing the proposed core zone boundaries with data from the Cianjur Regency Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, a portion of the proposed core zone expansion overlaps with tea plantation areas and food crop areas utilized by the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fajar Dwi Pamungkas stated that mapping helps identify potential issues regarding spatial utilization before the core zone boundaries are definitively established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpatial data can serve as a basis for identifying existing conditions and potential conflicts regarding spatial use. This allows site protection measures to be designed more precisely, while also taking into account the local community and established spatial planning,\u201d said Fajar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the survey results, the team recommends that the reorganization of the core zone be carried out in stages. This reorganization includes addressing structures and vegetation that obstruct the view of the monument. Once the development of the new core zone is complete, it may be possible to proceed with development in the buffer and development zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These steps are necessary to maintain visibility or (line of sight<\/em>) towards the monument while preserving the character of the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the boundaries of the core zone cannot be definitively determined based only on initial surveys. Geodetic measurements with a high level of accuracy are required to confirm the coordinates of each boundary point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Temporary boundary points that have been marked in the field can then be used as a reference for measurements using geodetic GPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results of these measurements and spatial mapping will subsequently serve as a basis for consideration in the zoning determination process for the Gunung Padang National Cultural Heritage Site (SCBPN). The data may also be used to support the drafting of the academic paper for the proposed Decree of the Minister of Culture regarding the site's zoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The involvement of FMIPA UI in this study demonstrates the application of geographical science to support the protection of cultural heritage sites. Through the use of spatial data, the condition of the area can be mapped with greater precision, enabling core zone planning to take into account actual field conditions, land use, and applicable spatial planning regulations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Depok, 12 Agustus 2026 \u2014 Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Indonesia (FMIPA UI) melalui tim Departemen Geografi membantu pemetaan kawasan Situs Cagar Budaya Peringkat Nasional (SCBPN) Gunung Padang, Cianjur, Jawa Barat.
