The town of Muntok is famous for its historical heritage developed as a result of tin mining activities. The historic settlement is divided into three “ethnic” clusters — Malay, Chinese and former European -— each preserving several historic buildings. Since 2013, the town is classified as a “Grade B” Indonesian Heritage Town.
Simone Ricca’s key-note speech presented the HUL approach and introduced the most recent developments discussed during the March meeting in Shanghai. HUL approach is relatively well-known in Indonesia at the academic level and it has been identified as a possible key to plan for the sustainable future of this town, but no actual HUL plan has been developed yet in the country.
Approximately 50 participants, including local administrators, academics, students, and members of Pansumnet and of the Indonesia Diaspora Network the Netherlands, attended Muntok HUL Training.
