Abstract: Barong Temple, a Hindu cultural heritage site in Yogyakarta, faces accessibility challenges that affect the tourist experience, particularly in terms of navigation and the availability of tourist route information. This study aims to analyse the factors that hinder tourist route accessibility at Barong Temple and to design optimisation strategies through the development of tourist maps in physical and digital formats. The study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach to Barong Temple. The analytical approach uses a descriptive-exploratory method, focusing on wayfinding strategies and tourist accessibility. Data collection was conducted through literature review, observation, and interviews with Barong Temple managers to obtain professional perspectives on the temple. The research findings identified the lack of directional signs, tourist spot information, and supporting facilities as the main challenges. The proposed strategies include physical maps with clear visual designs and interactive digital maps based on applications or QR codes, covering main routes, photo spots, and facilities such as parking areas. The implementation of these strategies is expected to enhance accessibility, tourist satisfaction, and visitor numbers, while supporting cultural preservation and sustainable site management. Recommendations include the implementation of tourist maps, regular maintenance, and evaluation of their impact on tourist experiences.
