However, the development of modern society has created various challenges for the sustainability of indigenous practices, particularly among younger generations. Social outreach has emerged as an important approach to revitalizing traditional knowledge, encouraging community participation, and strengthening cultural awareness. This study aims to explore the role of cultural preservation in community development, with a specific focus on how social outreach initiatives contribute to the revitalization of indigenous practices. A mixed-methods approach is proposed, combining quantitative surveys to examine cultural awareness and community participation with qualitative interviews to explore the experiences of community members and cultural practitioners. The study focuses on the relationship between cultural outreach activities, public participation, and the continuity of indigenous practices. The illustrative findings presented in this draft suggest that community-based cultural activities can strengthen cultural awareness, increase participation among younger generations, and improve cooperation between local institutions and traditional knowledge holders. The study emphasizes that cultural preservation should not be limited to maintaining historical objects or documenting traditional practices but should also involve active community participation and the integration of cultural values into everyday social life. The findings highlight the potential of social outreach as a practical strategy for supporting sustainable community development while maintaining cultural identity.</p>2026-10-31T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2026 Khoiriyah
