The value of srawung in Javanese society are slowly dying because of modernization. This value is related to harmony and respect to others, as can be seen in Ramayana reliefs from Candi Prambanan. Reliefs in the temple have been analysed by archaeologists through many researches and scientific books but at times, they are unable to deliver and communicate the value of srawung well. This research studied about how the heritage community conveys some research reports which contain important values to pursue a new relevant way of communicating its substantial value. The heritage community is partner to archaeologists, and also a part of society. So, with a role of heritage community, the value of srawung will be easily received by the people. Keywords: Ramayana Relief, Srawung, Heritage Community Abstrak. Di era modern ini nilai-nilai srawung yang berkaitan dengan kerukunan dan sikap saling menghormati sudah mulai terkikis. Pada dasarnya, nilai ini merupakan nilai luhur dari masa lalu yang dapat ditelusuri, salah satunya melalui relief Ramayana di Candi Prambanan. Relief di Candi Prambanan sebenarnya sudah banyak dikaji oleh para peneliti Arkeologi, tetapi penyampaiannya kepada masyarakat masih belum maksimal. Karenanya, permasalahan yang dibahas dalam tulisan ini adalah bagaimana melibatkan komunitas untuk berperan menyampaikan hasil penelitian dari para peneliti yang mengandung salah satu nilai luhur yaitu srawung. Tujuannya adalah untuk mendapatkan cara baru dalam menyajikan hasil penelitian arkeologi dengan lebih relevan dan luwes sehingga mudah diterima masyarakat. Komunitas penggiat budaya dapat menjadi rekan bagi peneliti untuk menyampaikan hasil penelitian dengan cara-cara relevan dan sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman.

Tahuna is the capital city of The Sangihe Islands Regency within the Tahuna Bay region. This region has been inhabited by various communities as the economic and political center. Since the end of the 19th century, Tahuna has carried out this role. This was inseparable from the placement of representatives of the Dutch Indies Government on Sangihe Besar Island in 1882. The existence of the Dutch Indies Government was inseparable from the high demand for copra on the world market. Therefore, the Dutch East Indies government is looking for regions capable of boosting the need for copra exports. One such area is Sangihe Besar Island. Tahuna's role in the copra trade was as the center for the distribution of copra to Manado. To find out the reason for choosing the year, this paper uses spatial analysis and analysis of the physical environment. Both data from the analysis results are then combined with the fiber to be interpreted to get the factors considered in the choice of location. The results showed that there were three factors behind the election of Tahuna, namely economic factors related to copra trade, geographical factors related to the location of ports and political factors related to the formation of a government hierarchy and the location of settlement locations.

Museum is not only a place for storing various artifacts, but also as a media of learning. However, the current management of museums in Indonesia is still not serving visitors well. Museum is not only located on the land, but there are also underwater museums. The plan of build an underwater museum has been discussed by museum practitioners and academics. Many locations and objects that could be used as underwater museums in Indonesia, one of that is the M.V Boelongan Shipwreck. This ship was sunk by Japanese Army during the Second World War. Nowadays, M.V. Boelongan has been an attractive destination for tourism activities, such as diving. To make it more benefit, not only in economic, but also in education and preservation, build and design this shipwreck as museum is one of the best solution. It could give the chance to everyone to see the shipwreck without diving. This museum should be plan to have a modern design, easier to educate and entertain the visitors, and also to preserve it as a heritage. M.V Boelongan is a part of Indonesian maritime history, the important values should be preserved and published to the public. Selain menjadi tempat penyimpanan berbagai artefak, museum juga menjadi media pembelajaran. Namun, saat ini pengelolaan museum di Indonesia masih kurang melayani pengunjung. Museum terdapat di darat dan di perairan. Isu pembuatan museum bawah air sudah menjadi pembahasan di kalangan pecinta museum. Banyak lokasi dan objek dapat dijadikan museum bawah air di Indonesia, salah satunya adalah Kapal M.V. Boelongan. Keberadaan M.V. Boelongan menjadi sebuah daya tarik pariwisata, diantaranya wisata selam. Pembuatan museum bawah air adalah salah satu alternatif yang dapat memberikan manfaat di bidang ekonomi, pendidikan dan pelestarian. Museum Bawah Air M.V. Boelongan memungkinkan pengunjung yang tidak dapat menyelam tetap dapat menyaksikan keberadaan M.V. Boelongan di bawah air. Museum akan dirancang sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman, baik dari sisi pengelolaan maupun perancangan. Hal ini sejalan dengan paradigma museum yang sejak lama digadang-gadang, yaitu membuat museum yang mengedukasi sekaligus memberikan hiburan bagi pengunjungnya. Selain itu, dengan adanya museum dapat melindungi keberadaan bangkai kapal dan menjadi salah satu cara untuk menjaga kelestarian M.V. Boelongan. M.V Boelongan adalah bagian dari sejarah kemaritiman di Indonesia. Tinggalan budaya materi ini patut dilestarikan dan disampaikan nilai-nilainya

Sebagai daerah terdepan negara Indonesia, Sangihe menyajikan sumber daya arkeologi yang belum banyak diketahui masyarakat. Hal ini wajar karena para peneliti yang fokus pada kebudayaan jarang memperhatikan tinggalantinggalan arkeologis yang ditemukan di kawasan perbatasan. Tulisan ini memaparkan potensi tinggalan arkeologis di Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe yang berada di kawasan utara Pulau Sulawesi yang berbatasan dengan kawasan selatan negara Filipina. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan arkeologis dengan mengkaji tinggalan-tinggalan bendawi seperti kapal karam, rumah kuno, makam, dan keramik kuno, serta didukung pendekatan etnohistoris yang menekankan pada data etnografi dan arsip sejarah. Penelitian ini bersifat eksploratif dan pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan penyelaman di perairan Sangihe. Hasil penelitian adalah identifikasi dan deskripsi tinggalan arkeologis di kawasan kepulauan Sangihe yang menunjukkan kawasan tersebut adalah pintu gerbang utara dalam konteks penyebaran kebudayaan ke kepulauan Nusantara, serta pemanfaatan potensi tinggalan arkeologis untuk pariwisata. Selanjutnya, diharapkan bahwa hasil penelitian ini dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai referensi untuk penelitian-penelitian. As the frontier region of Indonesia, Sangihe presents archaeological resources that have not yet known by the public. Such circumstance is understandable since researchers who focus on culture rarely pay attention on archaeological remains discovered in the border regions. This paper describes the potential of archaeological remains in Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe on the northern region of Island Sulawesi that borders with the southern region of the Philippines. This research was conducted using an archaeological approach by examining material remains such as shipwrecks, ancient houses, tombs, and ancient ceramics, and supported by an ethnistorical approach emphasising on the study of ethnography and historical archives. This is an explorative research and data collection is carried out by diving in Sangihe waters. The results of this investigation are identifications and descriptions of archaeological remains in the Sangihe archipelago that suggest the region as the northern gate in the context of culture distribution into Nusantara, as well as the use of potential archaeological remains for tourism. Further, this present study is expected to be a reference for future projections.
