<![CDATA[Wayang Golek art is an art originating from West Java Province. Due to the development of the times, the Wayang Golek art has decreased in its association, especially in the West Bandung Regency area. For this reason, there need to be conservation efforts carried out by the West Bandung Regency Government. Wayang Golek itself has been accepted by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This study used a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, with 2 informants, namely: (1) Head of Section for Art Development of the Culture and Tourism Office of West Bandung Regency, (2) and Wayang Golek Artists. Data collection techniques through interviews, documentation, and field observations. The results showed that the preservation of Wayang Golek art by the West Bandung Regency Culture and Tourism Office was not optimal. This is because (1) no regulation specifically regulates efforts to preserve the art of puppet show (2) the empowerment has not been able to increase community participation in preserving the art of Wayang Golek (3) has not been optimal in providing facilities in the form of supporting facilities and infrastructure in effort preservation of the puppet show art.
