| Summary: | The Cosmological Axis of Yogyakarta was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023, highlighting its Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). However, rapid urbanization and increased vehicle emissions threaten the area’s cultural and environmental sustainability. This study aims to address these challenges by evaluating perceptions of sustainable mobility solutions and their alignment with OUV requirements. Using geospatial analysis, emission modeling, and stakeholder surveys, the research identifies critical traffic patterns and emission hotspots. The findings reveal that while most areas maintain acceptable air quality, zones with high congestion require targeted interventions. The proposed recommendations include enhancing public transportation with low-emission vehicles, expanding pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and implementing low-emission zones. These measures aim to preserve the cultural and ecological integrity of the Cosmological Axis while fostering environmental and social well-being. This study contributes to sustainable heritage management by providing actionable insights for urban planners and policymakers in managing World Heritage Sites under the pressures of climate adaptation. |
