The Shiro Corporation , Jakarta - Installation stairlift or equipment to facilitate going up and down stairs at the temple Borobudur Some time ago, it was carried out without impact analysis or clarity of procedures. Moreover, Candi Borobudur is a world heritage site strictly regulated by UNESCO.
As is known, stairlift The pavilion was installed to receive a visit from President Prabowo Subianto and President of France Emmanuel Macron on May 29, 2025. The discussion resurfaced in an online forum titled 'Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) in Utilizing World Heritage' organized by the Association of Indonesian Archaeologists (IAAI) on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
"The main problem that we feel as conservators is that sometimes potential users in utilizing Borobudur Temple run so fast, while the conservators walk slowly with great caution," said archaeologist and General Chairman of IAAI Marsis Sutopo in that discussion.
Marsis explains, in principle, the installation of facilities such as stairlift It must go through a thorough review such as an impact analysis on the cultural heritage. This study covers potential impacts and mitigation measures before the project is implemented.
The same view came from archaeologist researcher and cultural activist Daud Aris Tanudirjo. He questioned the absence of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (KHIB)--a similar instrument to EIA specifically for development projects that interact with cultural heritage--in the installation. stairlift "So those rules are not really paid much attention to, but rather more on willingness," he said.
Daud believes that this willingness was not accompanied by an assessment of whether it was actually possible or not. This is what he considers to be the cause of sustainable development being limited to just a slogan for so long. "Because there are so many regulations that are merely in the form of documents, including spatial planning plans and such, but are not truly implemented."
Reminded by the archaeologist, a former lecturer at UGM and now Chairman of the Advisory Council for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage in DIY, that the Historical Impact Assessment (HIA) is not an instrument made to hinder construction projects, but rather as a planning tool with foresight for sustainable development. "Efforts to recognize and evaluate the potential impacts that will occur due to construction activities and development, including their utilization," he said.
The ultimate goal is to formulate mitigation measures so that the impact can be reduced or eliminated, allowing development to continue.
Furthermore, he explains that the success indicators for preserving cultural heritage are determined by several major factors. The four most dominant causes are natural disasters, natural processes, inappropriate conservation policies or poor management, as well as uncontrolled development activities.
