- Abstract
Blitar City is one of the National Heritage Cities in Indonesia because it has historical buildings. This city was the Gemeente area of the Netherlands from 1906-1942, the place of birth, childhood residence, and burial place of Indonesian proclaimers. This is a potential to strengthen the city’s image with city branding as a historic city. The image of a historic city can be represented by the facade of a historical building which is one of the elements of the city. This study aims to identify and understand the cultural values contained in the facades of historic buildings as cultural heritage. Cultural values will be easy to understand and can be used as a benchmark in the preservation of historic buildings and used as the basis for developing a historic city branding strategy. The method used in this study is a descriptive method to describe the physical condition of the building in the field, and an evaluative method with an assessment to evaluate the value of cultural significance on historical building elements. The final assessment results show the suitability of buildings to be preserved based on historical, aesthetic, social and economic values, and how to preserve buildings in accordance with these values.
