“…Strategic guidelines and effective developments are also needed to help rebuild waterfront areas, specifically on historic sites. One of the important strategies for developing a waterfront is to include public participation during the decision-making process and seek authentic heritage roots [34]. Understanding the seafront area as an inherent public asset is also needed in order for the development and designation processes to be in accordance with the common goals of the community [35].…”

Indonesians had lived a lifestyle in the past that was very harmonious with their environment. Almost all tribes and communities had policies for preserving and managing their surroundings based on local wisdom that was passed down from previous generations. However, due to the increase in the development of modern cities, this knowledge began to erode. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of waterfront city development on coastal resources and local wisdom in relation to the preservation of sustainable environments in the archipelago city of Ternate. This study was performed through a literature review, field observations, and interviews with 250 respondents. The results show that the increase in waterfront development activities can reduce the potential of coastal resources as well as have an impact on changes in regional characteristics and features of local wisdom in coastal areas due to reclamation. The conservation of environmental resources and the management of coastal areas based on local wisdom and sustainable development can improve the value of the environment and reduce the pressure on coastal resources. The findings of this study can improve insight into the importance of sustainable waterfront development based on local wisdom, specifically in archipelagic cities.

Semarang Old Town area has a row of historic buildings. Revitalization efforts have been made by the Government since 2017 to increase the attractiveness of the area in order to increase tourism potential in Semarang and to maintain the preservation of cultural heritage buildings. Currently, the condition of this area is getting better and more lively and attracts more visitors. However, so far there are various assumptions regarding of the Semarang Old City Area’s revitalization successness, so it is necessary to conduct a study to find out the problems that still exist to increase the successness of this area’s revitalization. This study was using a a comparative descriptive method. The evaluation results show that the revitalization of this area has not yet fully met the revitalization objectives, because although it has been able to improve its physical, economic and social qualities, it has not yet fully improved from a cultural perspective because there are still several problems, including street furniture, crowds concentrated in one area, volume of vehicles, infrastructure development, many unused buildings, vandalism and building facades differences. This is also not in accordance with the Government's vision of making this area a permanent list of "World Heritage Sites".Abstrak: Kawasan Kota Lama Semarang memiliki deretan bangunan bersejarah. Telah dilakukan upaya revitalisasi oleh Pemerintah terhadap Kawasan ini sejak tahun 2017 untuk meningkatkan daya tarik kawasan tersebut dalam rangka meningkatkan potensi pariwisata di Kota Semarang serta untuk menjaga kelestarian bangunan-bangunan cagar budaya yang ada di kawasan tersebut. Saat ini kondisi Kawasan Kota Lama ini menjadi lebih baik dan lebih hidup serta menarik lebih banyak pengunjung. Namun selama ini terdapat berbagai macam anggapan mengenai keberhasilan revitalisasi Kawasan Kota Lama Semarang, sehingga perlu dilakukan evaluasi untuk mengetahui permasalahan yang masih ada untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan revitalisasi Kawasan ini. Evaluasi ini dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif komparasi. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa revitalisasi kawasan ini masih belum sepenuhnya memenuhi tujuan revitalisasi, karena meskipun telah mampu meningkatkan kualias fisik, ekonomi dan sosial, namun belum belum sepenuhnya meningkatkan dari sisi budaya karena masih terdapat beberapa permasalahan antara lain mengenai street furniture, keramaian yang terpusat di satu titik, volume kendaraan, pembangunan infrastruktur, banyak bangunan yang tidak dimanfaatkan, vandalisme serta perbedaan fasad bangunan. Hal tersebut juga belum sesuai dengan visi Pemerintah dalam menjadikan Kawasan ini sebagai daftar tetap “World Site Heritage”.

“…Indeed, the heritage significance of water landscapes is receiving increasing recognition. The Chinese state governments have gazetted waterfront 'Clan Jetties' as a heritage village for connecting historical essence and value (Salim & Mohamed, 2018). Old waterfront structures and heritage buildings are conserved for preservation or adaptive reuse by some cities with a view to economic benefits for the community (Clapp et al, 1997;; Shamsuddin et al, 2012).…”

Ancient settlements were dependent on the availability of water for sustainable living, ritual values, and economic purposes. Today, many Tropical Asian cities provide examples of urban settlements within water landscapes, yet these cities struggle with water issues, and face challenges in creating a contextual morphological identity. This paper explores urban waterfront heritage through a case study of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The city is experiencing rapid unplanned urbanisation, insensitive land use and the demolition of historical buildings along waterways, which in turn has created a contextual crisis in the built environment and social living. To explore the relationship of built heritage with the water-edge, this paper examines historical architectural styles using urban morphological codes. Results show that the historical orientations, accessibility, and functions of heritage buildings are explicitly and sensitively connected with the water-edge. The paper argues that physical and spatial components of urban structure and water landscape, incorporating the lessons of urban history, could become a tool to preserve urban heritage. However, to enhance the image of the city in a sustainable manner along water-edges, it is crucial to use the potentiality of water landscape with the heritage-based morphologies in current urban design and development practices.
