Abstract

Managing cultural heritage is a challenge for stakeholders. To manage a site, collaboration from various actors is needed to ensure the perspectives of each party can be conveyed, heard, and accommodated. The discovery of a new historical site called Sekaran in Sekarpuro Village, Malang Regency which has high cultural and historical values is a momentum to explore the relationship and negotiation of interests between cultural heritage management authorities and the local community. To see this phenomenon, researchers used the concept of "inclusive heritage discourse" (Kisić, 2013). This approach provides a discourse alternative to the management of cultural heritage, better known as authorization-based management, both by state and expert. Through IHD disharmony (dissonance) present from various actors is considered and understood as the entrance to negotiations to produce a framework for managing cultural heritage in a participatory manner. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. Qualitative research includes a collection process that varies from empirical material, including case studies, personal experience, life stories, interviews, texts, observation, and visual texts (Denzin & Lincoln, 2005). In qualitative research, researchers are expected to interpret the phenomena faced to gain a deep understanding.
