Abstract

Ecomuseums are key instruments for preserving territorial commons, fostering community resilience, and supporting sustainable rural development. Many rural regions currently face numerous challenges such as population decline, limited job opportunities, poverty, low literacy rates, and inadequate basic infrastructures. Ecomuseums empower local communities to collaborate on sustainable, community-led development by celebrating and preserving the unique identity of each region. Today, widely available digital tools and applications can facilitate this task. This paper first systematically reviews the current state of the art in the field through the PRISMA methodology and then proposes a model for an organized network of digital ecomuseums, advancing both the theoretical and practical dimensions of the place as ecomuseum paradigm through a community-based, action-research methodology for sustainable territorial development. This model integrates cultural heritage, territorial capital, and digital technology, positively influencing a community’s social, economic, and environmental well-being and enhancing residents’ quality of life.
