Abstract

Participatory culture becomes one of the central issues in the emerging of new media. New media provides space for audience to interact and produce the content of media. In a view of social engagement, participatory culture would increase the engagement. When people have a role in a particular context, they would engage more. In a context of preserving local culture at Mpu Tantular Museum, the use of new media (CD Interaktif) would enhance participatory culture from the visitors. As shown in the survey result, users appraise the importance of CD Interaktif to understand local culture. However, users emphasized improvement on the element of learning environment and involvement of users. By the usage of new media, both become important to stimulate social engagement. This paper also gives recommendation on how to preserve local culture through new media.
