Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world, preserving cultural heritage is essential for maintaining cultural diversity. This study examines strategies for safeguarding cultural heritage through integrating art and education, emphasizing the significance and effectiveness of a comprehensive approach. Employing a quantitative methodology and systematic review guided by the PRISMA framework, 60 international sources were analyzed through a multi-stage screening process. The results demonstrate that combining art and education significantly enhances efforts to preserve cultural heritage. Artists play a key role in stimulating public interest and academic inquiry, while educators foster value formation and actively engage students in cultural studies. This integrated approach deepens emotional connections to heritage and broadens awareness of its importance. Nonetheless, such strategies are often hindered by financial limitations, insufficient management, and a shortage of specialized professionals. The study concludes that evaluating the effectiveness of cultural heritage preservation requires a flexible, multidimensional approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative measures. Overcoming these challenges is vital to achieving sustainable preservation outcomes.
