Indonesia as an archipelago country has a lot of cultural heritage that it is decently called as a multicultural country. The richness of Indonesian culture is not only intangible cultural heritage but also in intangible one. It includes artifacts, inscriptions, traditional food, clothes, music instruments, oral traditions and expressions, performing arts, rituals and festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe, and traditional craftsmanship. However, there have been a number of issues concerning the sustainability of Indonesian cultural heritage. Some of which are the difficulty of connecting culture with societies, the struggle to maintain inter-generational transfer of knowledge, lack of recognition, stylistic and thematic imitation, misappropriation by unauthorized reproduction or distribution, and foreign claims to Indonesian cultural heritage. Those issues are influenced by the globalization era in which the development of life style and technology increases rapidly. Due to the crucial value of the culture as the identity of a nation, therefore Indonesia surely needs to preserve it. This paper aims to discuss the richness of Indonesian culture, several cultural issues in global world, and the cultural heritage preservation efforts.
