Purpose: This research project examines the digital preservation of Banjar oral literature, with a particular focus on the Lamut tradition. It employs a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative analysis and digital ethnography.
Methods: A sequential exploratory design is employed in this research, which combines participatory action research (PAR) with the implementation of immersive technologies. The study aims to develop a digital platform that facilitates the transmission of traditional knowledge.
Results: The results of the statistical analysis indicates a notable enhancement in comprehension of cultural values (p < 0.001, t = 7.842, df = 198) and a considerable degree of technological acceptance (perceived usefulness 4.2/5.0, perceived ease of use 3.8/5.0). The ethnographic analysis identified five essential performative elements in the Lamut tradition and revealed that 78% of the philosophical values can be effectively transmitted through digital platforms. The longitudinal data indicated a notable increase in community engagement, with the number of active users rising from 250 to 1,200 over the course of 12 months, representing a 68% retention rate. The formation of a community of practice through a multidisciplinary collaboration between Palamutan, technology developers, educators, and youth proved an effective strategy for addressing implementation challenges and developing adaptive solutions to overcome the limitations of digital infrastructure in rural areas.
Conclusions: The findings indicate that the integration of digital technologies with traditional pedagogical approaches, when implemented through robust participatory methodologies, can effectively support the sustainability and revitalisation of intangible cultural heritage in the digital age.
