This study analyzes digital narratives surrounding Wamena's cultural heritage using the Digital Content Reviews and Analysis Framework, focusing on sentiment, toxicity, and thematic content. The research explores the complex interplay between community perspectives, cultural preservation, modernization, and external influences such as tourism. Toxicity analysis revealed that while most online discourse is supportive, there are instances of harmful language that could disrupt social cohesion, with toxicity scores peaking at 0.50790. These findings highlight the need for continuous moderation to foster a positive digital environment. Sentiment analysis provided a deeper understanding of emotional tones, showing a predominance of positive sentiments and highlighting frustration and dissent related to cultural erosion. The study employed machine learning algorithms for sentiment and toxicity classification, with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) enhanced by Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) demonstrating superior accuracy at 87.29%. Content analysis identified vital themes such as community dynamics, cultural resilience, and the dual impact of tourism as both an economic catalyst and a potential threat to cultural integrity. The findings underscore the importance of maintaining an inclusive digital environment that promotes constructive dialogue and cultural preservation. This framework provides valuable insights for policymakers and community leaders, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive strategies to manage digital content and support sustainable cultural tourism. Future research should expand this framework to other contexts to enhance the understanding of digital communication dynamics in diverse cultural settings.
