Development of mobile learning application to promote world heritage site preservation awareness: Case of Luang Prabang, Lao PDR

A mobile learning application developed for Android demonstrates significant potential in promoting preservation awareness at UNESCO World Heritage Sites, particularly in least developed countries. The study, conducted in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR, found that the application effectively enhanced users' understanding of cultural heritage preservation through surveys and interviews with higher education students. This approach leverages appropriate technology tailored to local contexts, offering a scalable solution to balance development pressures while preserving cultural significance. Encouraging outcomes suggest mobile learning applications can serve as powerful tools for heritage conservation in resource-limited settings.
