Description

The data presented here is derived from interviews and focus group discussions with gamelan practitioners, educators, and artists in several cities in Central Java, Indonesia (Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Purwokerto, Banyumas, and Purbalingga) in 2024 and 2025. The data illustrates how gamelan and the gamelan ecosystem constitute social, cultural, and economic capital for local communities, with the potential to serve as instruments or tools for cultural diplomacy.
