[Abstract]

This research explores Korea's approach to digital Official Development Assistance (ODA) for cultural heritage preservation within the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA). Leveraging its advanced digital technologies, Korea has been introducing innovative solutions such as 3D scanning, virtual reality, and geographic information systems, to document and protect both tangible and intangible cultural assets in partner countries. The study highlights key case studies demonstrating how digital ODA initiatives have enhanced cultural resilience, fostering regional identity and sustainable development. Emphasis placed on the role of triangular cooperation as a critical strategy, allowing Korea, through collaboration with BIMP-EAGA nations, to optimize resources and achieve shared goals in heritage preservation. This collaborative framework, combining community engagement and advanced digital tools, underscores the importance of adaptable, context-sensitive approaches in preserving cultural heritage amidst modern challenges.
