Abstract This study investigates the role of Keramat Market in community empowerment and economic development in Warugunung Village, Indonesia. Focusing on the integration of cultural preservation, skill development, and sustainability, the research highlights initiatives such as the Bamboo School and intergenerational engagement in arts and crafts. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with six participants, including key informants from the market authority, local government, and traders. The findings underscore the transformative impact of culturally embedded and sustainability-driven initiatives. Two primary themes emerged: Empowerment Through Training and Skills Development and Inspiration and Cultural Preservation. The Bamboo School, supported by partnerships with organizations such as YBLL and PT. Multi Bintang Indonesia, equips residents, especially women, with marketable skills in bamboo weaving and sustainable cooking practices, fostering economic independence and cultural resilience. Concurrently, Keramat Market serves as a dynamic cultural hub, blending tradition with modern commerce to preserve arts, crafts, and culinary heritage while engaging younger generations. These initiatives position Warugunung Village as a model for culturally conscious community development. However, challenges such as dependency on stakeholder involvement and resource availability may limit scalability. The qualitative scope also restricts generalizability, necessitating further comparative and longitudinal studies. This research highlights the potential of leveraging local resources and cultural heritage to foster sustainable growth, offering valuable insights for policymakers and development practitioners aiming to replicate similar models in other communities.
