<![CDATA[This article aims to examine the existence and role of Siti Hinggil Site in Muncar, Banyuwangi, as a historical site that supports the social, cultural and economic aspects of coastal communities. The methods used include literature study, interviews, direct observation, and archival analysis to obtain data on the function and value of the site from the past to the present. The results of the discussion show that Siti Hinggil functions as a centre for sea traffic observation, ship surveillance, and a centre for customary and social activities, with an ancient design that reflects traditional community functions. The site has an important role in strengthening social ties and cultural sustainability, despite its transformation due to modernisation and economic dynamics. The novelty of the research lies in emphasising the historical and social value of the site as a source of learning about past maritime roles and the importance of preservation in the socio-economic context of the Muncar region.]]>
