Abstract

Some objects in Pekalongan City can be categorized as objects that are suspected to be cultural heritage. In order to maintain the existence of these objects, it is necessary to have preservation efforts through the assessment process, which are then designated as Cultural Conservation.

One of the areas in Pekalongan City in which there are several objects of cultural heritage is the Jetayu area. One object that is suspected of being a cultural heritage is the SMP Negeri 1 Pekalongan building.
