| Summary: | Introduction: Indonesia's urban heritage reflects a complex narrative of colonialism, cultural identity, and modern transformation. In recent years, physical activity and recreation have been recognized as dynamic tools to engage with and reinterpret urban heritage.
Objective: This study aims to explore how movement-based engagement—such as walking tours, heritage marathons, and cycling—enhances the understanding, preservation, and revitalization of Indonesia’s urban heritage.
Methodology: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Studies from 2019 to 2025 were sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, SAGE Journals, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar, with 13 articles selected for full analysis.
Discussion: The review highlights that movement-based heritage engagement supports embodied learning, tourism development, and inclusive urban planning. Activities like guided walks or heritage marathons deepen public awareness of historical spaces and contribute to place identity. Additionally, adaptive reuse of heritage spaces for recreation strengthens community participation and economic revitalization.
Conclusion: Integrating physical activity within heritage tourism enhances both health and cultural sustainability. This model promotes interaction with historical environments and supports inclusive heritage preservation in Indonesian cities.
