Abstract

Background: The increasing dependence of tourism promotion on digital platforms has transformed how sacred and culturally significant landscapes are represented, circulated, and consumed within contemporary tourism communication. Objective: This study examines how Indonesian tourism media platformize cultural space and reconfigure sacred landscapes into visually consumable tourism commodities. Method: This study employs a qualitative corpus-based multimodal design using official tourism and heritage communication materials, combining platformization mapping, sacred-to-commodity framing analysis, and multimodal-spatial analysis. Results: Findings indicate that cultural landscapes are systematically organized through platform visibility mechanisms that prioritize discoverability, visual attractiveness, and destination branding. Findings further reveal that sacred and heritage meanings are not removed but selectively rearticulated through experience-oriented narratives emphasizing immersion, accessibility, and tourism engagement. Findings also demonstrate that multimodal resources, including visual framing, spatial composition, symbolic imagery, and textual narratives, construct a tourist gaze that privileges scenic appreciation and destination recognition while maintaining limited references to ritual and cultural significance. Implication: The novelty of this study lies in integrating cultural landscape theory, tourism imaginaries, and platformization perspectives within a unified analytical framework that explains how sacred space is transformed through digital tourism media. Novelty: This study contributes to tourism communication, heritage studies, and multimodal discourse research by advancing a platform-oriented understanding of cultural representation in contemporary tourism environments.

Abstract

Background: Public space has increasingly become a strategic arena where historical narratives, cultural identities, and political authority are negotiated through spatial symbols, commemorative practices, and heritage representation. Objective: This study investigates how toponymic change and heritage signage participate in the production, reinterpretation, and contestation of collective memory within Indonesian public space. Method: This study employs a qualitative corpus-based design integrating critical toponymy, multimodal heritage signage analysis, and memory politics, drawing on official naming documents, heritage signage materials, visual identity artefacts, policy texts, and contextual reports. Results: Findings indicate that commemorative renaming primarily functions as a mechanism for re-inscribing nationally preferred historical narratives into everyday spatial environments. Heritage signage further reinforces these narratives through multimodal combinations of language, visual symbolism, institutional branding, and spatial design that shape public interpretation of the past. Implication: At the same time, memory is not simply preserved or erased; rather, public space emerges as a site where historical meanings are selectively amplified, reinterpreted, and negotiated across competing scales of identity and heritage. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in integrating critical toponymy, multimodal heritage signage, and memory politics into a unified analytical framework that explains how spatial naming and visual heritage infrastructures jointly contribute to the redesign of national historical consciousness.
