INTISARI
Railways have become the most sustainable transport compared to other modes and are expected to become the main backbone of future transport mobility. In Java, historical station buildings are now operated by a state-owned company, PT KAI. These buildings are designated as cultural heritage sites. Therefore, there is a need to identify how to enhance travellers’ experience with these old buildings. There are three objectives of this study: identify the heritage preservation of railway stations globally, identify the trade-off between heritage preservation and day-to-day maintenance from the perspective of PT KAI and identifying how and what factors of the historical building can improve travellers’ experience from Tugu Passengers’ perspective. The methods used are literature review, online searching, and then in-depth interviews with service providers and service users to address the objectives. The result of this study reveals: firstly, there are different approaches to preserving the old stations: conservation and restoration; secondly, PT KAI’s purpose in preserving the building is to provide intangible values related to the identity and culture of Indonesia’s Railway History; thirdly, respondents were satisfied with condition of Tugu Station, and they have some advice to improve the old building with a special scent that represents Jogja’s culture.
