Educational Strategies for Digital Documentation in Southeast Asian World Heritage Cities: Implementing the HUL Approach

Southeast Asian World Heritage cities face significant challenges in integrating digital documentation due to inadequate local educational and institutional frameworks, often relying on short-term external expertise. A study analyzing case studies from Huế, Ayutthaya, George Town, and Vigan reveals that sustainable heritage management requires structured educational curricula, robust institutional support, certification systems, and regional training institutions. The research advocates for a comprehensive approach combining UNESCO’s Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) Recommendations with digital technologies to empower local communities, ensuring resilience and long-term preservation aligned with HUL principles.
