Sustainable development and preservation began with different paradigms and in its development, various challenges in conservation efforts, including urbanization, city development, climate change demands an inclusive conservation concepts until in 2005 UN established Heritage Urban Landscape (HUL). In its development, the HUL concept places the community at the center of a model that connects aspects related to conservation. Surabaya’s development towards economy and business, thus neglecting the original culture that preserved in the scattered ancient buildings throughout the city. Old city of Surabay abandoned by urban development have resulted in abandoned ancient buildings and obscured Surabaya's original cultural values among communities. The lack of synchronization between community and conservation efforts can lead to various issues in the conservation process. Through the Heritage Urban Landscape content analysis approach, it can be identified that the development of a holistic and integrated HUL concept to strengthen community-based conservation must include 4 aspects, namely socio-cultural, economic, ecological and natural which are all integrated through the community. Each aspect has indicators that are directly or indirectly related to the community-based conservation concept, so that by optimizing these indicators, the HUL concept being developed can run holistically and inclusively in the Surabaya cultural heritage area through 4 HUL model shaper, namely Identifying & Mapping Heritage Value, Preserving local identity and sense of place, Local urban heritage and planning expertise, skills and knowledge and Holistic urban legislation.
