<![CDATA[The origin of the name “Teluk Leok” in the Limbungan neighborhood is a crucial pillar of Malay cultural knowledge that is now threatened with extinction due to modernization and a lack of documentation. This study aims to document, analyze, and revitalize this narrative so that it remains relevant as the collective identity of the local community. The method used is qualitative, involving field documentation through the Telusur Kultur, which integrates observation, in-depth interviews with key informants such as Abdullah and Ujang S., and audiovisual documentation. Based on Abdullah’s account, the toponymy of Leok Bay is linked to the grounding and burning of the ship Akasia. This narrative also connects the name “Leok” to the figure of Captain Leo. The study’s conclusions affirm that the “Telusur Kultur” model is effective in preserving collective memory and transforming oral traditions into practical assets, both as educational materials and as a potential resource for storytelling tourism. The success of this preservation effort depends heavily on participatory collaboration among academics, the community, and the government.]]>
