An Effort of Archaeological Research to Support Sustainable Development Programs on the Sunan Pandanaran Sites, Klaten District, Central Java Province, Indonesia

The United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Programs as global actions for all nations. Under SDG 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities, one target is to protect the world’s cultural and natural heritage (11-4). In Klaten, Central Java, the Sunan Pandanaran Tomb Site area is one of the potential cultural resources that should be maintained. This research aims to raise the values of the Cultural Heritage, both tangible and intangible, found in the Sunan Pandanaran Tomb Site Area and developed to support sustainable development programs—especially the potential for intangible cultural heritage, such as knowledge of the Batik-making technology and food and beverages (F&B) industry. This research is using a phenomenological approach. Hence, it can produce outcomes that benefit society continuously.
