Abstract

Reactualization Yogyakarta Style Javanese Attire for Sendangsari Youth to Support Cultural Tourism in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Modernisation and globalisation have influenced how younger generations perceive local culture, including traditional clothing practices. In Sendangsari Village, Bantul, this phenomenon is evident in the limited understanding and skills among youth in wearing Javanese traditional attire in accordance with the Yogyakarta Palace standards. Despite its designation as a cultural village with strong potential to support local wisdom-based tourism, a gap in cultural continuity remains. This community engagement program aimed to Reactualization cultural values through training on traditional Javanese dress etiquette for youth members of Karang Taruna. The methods included theoretical sessions, simulations, hands-on practice, and an inter-hamlet mini festival. A total of 36 participants from 18 hamlets actively took part in the training held at the Sendangsari Village Hall. Evaluation results indicated a high level of participant satisfaction (average score: 4.46), with significant increases in cultural insight (4.78), perceived benefits (4.73), and technical skills (4.62). Participants also expressed a strong interest in joining similar future activities (4.35). The program outputs included training modules, visual documentation, and a published article. This activity demonstrates that cultural preservation can be conducted in an engaging and relevant manner, positioning youth as key agents in sustaining tradition while strengthening Sendangsari’s role as a potential cultural tourism village
