<![CDATA[Heritage landscapes are increasingly conceptualized as living heritage integrating geological, ecological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Despite this recognition, significant gaps remain between conceptual frameworks and their practical implementation, particularly where natural and cultural heritage intersect. This study employs a qualitative case study approach with methodological triangulation in the Soreang Ancient Volcano Area, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia, to examine how pusaka saujana can inform sustainable cultural heritage tourism development. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with community stakeholders, and documentation studies, and analyzed using SWOT analysis combined with adaptive management principles. The findings indicate that the area embodies key characteristics of pusaka saujana, where ancient volcanic formations and ecological practices are closely intertwined with local cultural traditions and spiritual values. However, institutional weaknesses, limited infrastructure, and risks of environmental degradation and cultural commodification constrain sustainable management. To address these challenges, this study proposes a phased adaptive framework comprising recognition and protection of values, integration and reinterpretation, and consolidation and regeneration of heritage. This framework positions pusaka saujana not merely as a tourism asset but as a paradigm for living heritage governance. Conceptually, the research advances discourse on integrated heritage landscapes, while practically it offers a replicable community-based model for sustainable tourism governance in Indonesia.]]>
