| Summary: | The Bogor Botanical Gardens (BBG) is the oldest Botanical Garden in Indonesia founded in 1817. BBG initially had the role of surveying the colony's resources and increasing Dutch exploitation, introducing plants especially for economically important plants from various parts of the world. Currently, BBG has undergone changes so that it becomes a place for conservation, research, education, tourism, and environmental services. However, the launch of GLOW night tour innovation with the use of artificial light exposed to plants indicates that there has been an innovation crisis at BBG and has brought that institution to a different direction of development.
By using case study qualitative research method and the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) approach, this study will analyze transition process in BBG including the landscape, sociotechnical regimes and emerging novelties, and further analyze its 'gardening culture'.
The results showed that BBG in the Dutch period was a research institution that linked the results of plant research with further utilization. Colonial era policies that tended to be economic and prestige oriented encouraged novelty and innovation related to the use of plants for the development of economic welfare. The Dutch has a strong gardening culture, especially in the use of medicinal plants. Currently, KRB is an institution that not only has functions in the field of research, but also conservation, education, tourism and environmental services. The community has become a new regime of BBG users, especially for tourism and educational purposes, and this affects the newness that occurs. However, as BBG is a research institution, it has not optimally utilized the plants as important assets for further use because there is no proper vision for the future development of BBG now it has no gardening culture. In the future, BBG needs to do repositioning, that as a research institution they have to innovate by linking conservation with exploring the potential to increase human well-being in the form of products, as well as landscape arrangement. In addition, BBG needs to build a gardening culture that reflects the connection between humans and plants.
