N2 - Social interaction and public space are interrelated and play crucial roles in human life. The Vastenburg Fort Site serves as an example of a public space still utilized by the community and holds historical value from the Dutch colonial era. However, inadequate management has led to a decline in quality and user interest. Thus, this research aims to formulate preservation efforts for it as a historical public space in Surakarta through the assessment of quality and preferences based on user perceptions. In general, this study employs a mixed-methods approach with a deductive perspective. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, followed by analyses using Likert scales, descriptive analysis, and content analysis. Consequently, the research reveals a deteriorating condition of the site, perceived as "Enough" by users. Additionally, revitalization efforts and the creation of better spaces with community involvement are deemed necessary by the local community around the Vastenburg Fort Site. Based on these findings, preservation recommendations are formulated, encompassing the strengthening of historical value, integrated management, improved accessibility, diversification of utilization, and community participation. It is hoped that these efforts will restore the Vastenburg Fort Site as a sustainable historical tourism destination and enhance the quality of life for the community.
