Abstract: This study presents, the evaluation result of the conservation management of a historical building. The aim of the research is determine the effectiveness of the previous conservation management, as well as knowing the most appropriate system and techniques in the implementation of conservation process of a building which is called Bale Kapal. This research is aimed, at recommending appropriate materials to be used in the implementation of Bale Kapal conservation situated, at a cultural heritage preservation park called Taman Soekasada Ujung (TSU). TSU is a cultural heritage site located in the regency of Karangasem at the province of Bali, Indonesia. It received a conservation treatment in 2001-2003 through the Bali Cultural Heritage Preservation Project under the Project named the Reconstruction and Conservation Project of Taman Ujung Karangasem. Among other buildings, there exists a building called Bale Kapal which did not received the treatment and handling during the reconstruction and left in its existence. The qualitative evaluation method has been used in the research methodology and some comparative study have been conducted. Problems with the quantitative data were solved by experimental method through a series of tests in the laboratory. The study concluded that the conservation which has been made to the Bale Kapal was ineffective. The appropriate conservation system which should be done to Bale Kapal is the reconstruction with reinforcement using grouting techniques. Structural analysis based on laboratory test results showed that with reconstruction, the Bale Kapal building can be returned to its original shape reliably without breaking the rules of conservation. The recommended construction materials are those that have the anticipative properties to the local environmental conditions.
