Ombilin Coal Mine Site: History and Potential as a Learning Source for the History of the Economy Based on Outdoor Learning

The Ombilin Coal Mining Heritage of Sawahlunto, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers significant potential as an outdoor learning resource for the history of economic development. The site, shaped by Dutch colonial projects including coal exploitation, railway construction, and port development, retains notable heritage elements such as the Railway Museum, Goedang Ranseum, Mbah Soero Mine Hole, and the Coal Mining Museum. These remnants serve as tangible historical sources that can enrich educational experiences, particularly in outdoor learning contexts. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing interviews, literature, and newspapers to analyze primary and secondary sources. Challenges in leveraging this site for educational purposes were also identified, highlighting the need for strategic preservation and utilization efforts.
