Pelibatan Masyarakat dalam Pengelolaan Situs Gunung Wingko, Bantul

Abstract

Archaeological researches at Gunung Wingko Site, Kecamatan Sanden, Bantul, had been conducted for
more than 40 years ago. Nevertheless, the results of observations, interviews, Focus Group Discussions
(FGD), and archaeological exhibition on Sanden Fair 2018 indicate that the existence and the cultural
signifcance of the site had only been known by certain communities. Local people unawareness of the
existence and the cultural signifcance of the site had so far caused site damage. Terefore, a number of
action plans have been suggested during the FGD that involved the local people and some institutions
relevant to the case of Gunung Wingko, and have to be done as soon as possible to prevent the site
from further damage. Te plans comprise dissemination of the site values, the establishment of the
site as cultural heritage (Cagar Budaya), site management, and the development of a site information
center. Tis center could be integrated with other tourist destinations which have been established
around the site. In this case, local people should be involved in preparing material displayed in the
Gunung Wingko Site Information Center.
