KARNO EXILE HOUSE AS A TOURIST ATTRACTION WITH A HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL STUDY APPROACH

Abstract

The Sukarno Exile House in

Brastagi is a building that holds significant historical value for Indonesia. Situated in the town of Berastagi, North Sumatra, it has become one of the popular historical tourist attractions in Indonesia. Each year, many tourists visit this place to witness firsthand various historical artifacts inside. The building, designed with Dutch colonial architecture, has suffered considerable physical damage due to its age and the lack of effective maintenance, which could lead to the loss of the nation's historical value. This research aims to develop a concept and a model for the effective preservation and conservation of the building. The goal is to attract more tourists to visit the site, creating income not only for the preservation of the building itself but also benefiting the local community.
