【 摘 要 】

Bogor City has been designated as a national heritage city in 2012 through The National Program on Management and Conservation of Heritage City (P3KP). The conservation of heritage areas in Bogor City should not only be focused on physical man-made elements and land-use, but should also include natural elements such as trees which have historical values or named as heritage trees. This study indicates showed that the trees classified as heritage trees amount up to 281 which belongs to 17 species and 8 families. The tree species with the largest number of heritage trees is the kenari-nut tree (Canarium commune L.) where there are 220 of them. The proposed recommendation for the preservation of heritage trees and landscape character strengthening consisted of three parts, namely: i) maintenance of heritage trees, ii) improvement of the growing environment, and iii) strengthening landscape characteristics. In the maintenance of heritage trees, all of the trees especially for kenari-nut tree (Canarium commune L.) should be maintained based on the type and extent of the damage. Improvment the growing environment can be conducted on the unfavorable conditions and followed by the planting of similar tree such as kenari-nut tree (Canarium commune L.) in empty spaces. To strengthen the landscape characteristics can be conducted by providing interpretation boards or other elements that could help people recognize the heritage trees, and the feel of heritage landscape.
