conducted.The aims of this study were to understand the role of Ancient
Conservation Bureau of Yogyakarta Province in conserving Gebang Temple site
as sanctuary and to understand problems that causeGerbang Temple less
maintained and restored. Data gathered were analyzed qualitatively by using
analysis conducting by understanding and arranging data collected
systematically, so could be obtained a description concerning the problems and
conditions examined. Based on this analysis, then, the study could be concluded
by using inductive thinking rooted in particular knowledge to judge general
event.The role of Ancient Conservation Bureau of Yogyakarta Province in
conserving Gebang Temple has been conducted well, but not optimally. The
conservation is conducted by doing regular maintenance (mechanical
maintenance),chemical conservation activity, and cooperating with geologists,
geodesists, and archeologists from universities in Yogyakarta. Less optimization

unclear zonation regulation; (2) less human resources; and (3) retribution
