Abstract

Cultural preservation in the face of globalization is a pressing concern for diverse societies worldwide. This research delves into the complexities of sustaining cultural heritage in the rich and diverse landscape of Indonesian culture, a nation with a mosaic of traditions, languages, arts, and customs. Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative and quantitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, and content analysis, this study identifies the challenges and strategies associated with cultural preservation in Indonesia. The qualitative findings reveal that rapid modernization, urbanization, media influence, cultural displacement, commodification, and appropriation pose significant challenges to the preservation of Indonesia's cultural heritage. These challenges resonate with global discussions on the impact of globalization on cultural diversity. Furthermore, qualitative data highlight the importance of strategies such as cultural education, documentation and archiving, community involvement, and supportive policy and legislation. Quantitative survey data reinforce these qualitative insights, indicating a strong desire among respondents for cultural education, documentation, community involvement, and policy support. The majority of respondents expressed awareness of their cultural heritage and active participation in cultural activities. The implications of this research extend beyond Indonesia, as the findings provide valuable insights into the broader discourse on cultural preservation in a globalizing world. The strategies identified in this study offer potential solutions for preserving cultural heritage in diverse regions facing similar challenges. Ultimately, this research underscores the significance of safeguarding cultural diversity amidst the currents of globalization.

Abstract

In order to track the contribution of local wisdom to sustainable cultural heritage preservation, this study uses a bibliometric approach. A vast range of literature is covered by the analysis, including foundational works on political ecology, institutional ecology, ecological footprint, sustainable rural lifestyles, and systems thinking. Through the identification of clusters within the literature, the study reveals important topics including the preservation of biodiversity, sustainable tourism, and the incorporation of indigenous knowledge. The Brundtland Report and "Braiding Sweetgrass," among other notable publications, are recognized for having shaped the conversation on sustainability and the fusion of traditional knowledge with scientific understanding. A keyword analysis also indicates the prominence of terms like "Impact," "Local Wisdom," and "Tourism," indicating their importance in the industry. The results present a thorough summary of the field and are a useful resource for academics, decision-makers, and practitioners involved in the sustainable protection of cultural assets.
