Digital Mapping of Madura Gastronomy: Integrating Local Wisdom and Cultural Diversity in the Global Era
Abstract
ABSTRACT:
Madura's gastronomy not only serves the purpose of fulfilling consumption needs but also acts as a cultural artifact that represents local values such as simplicity, diligence, spirituality, and the ecological wisdom of coastal and agrarian communities. Special dishes such as bebek songkem, lorjuk, kaldu kokot, and tajin sobih not only store unique flavors but also contain narratives of identity and collective memory passed down through generations. However, globalization and cultural homogenization threaten the sustainability of traditional cuisine, especially amidst the lack of contextual and widely accessible digital documentation and representation.
This research explores the potential of digital mapping as a strategic approach in documenting, visualizing, and promoting the richness of Madura's gastronomy within the global cultural landscape. Through participatory methods, researchers explore community-based culinary narratives and combine them with geospatial technology, visual storytelling, and cultural metadata integration. The results of the digital mapping not only serve as a medium for preserving traditional knowledge but also strengthen the position of Madura's gastronomy as a representation of Indonesia's cultural diversity in the eyes of the world.
This study emphasizes that digital mapping of gastronomy based on local wisdom is an innovative strategy to strengthen cultural identity, expand the reach of value-based tourism promotion, and address the challenges of modernization without losing traditional roots. In this way, Madura can emerge as a center of taste and cultural narrative that is relevant in the global conversation about culinary heritage and cultural sustainability.
