One of the effects of globalization that can’t be avoided is the inclusion of understanding and concepts of development, which aren’t necessarily in accordance with the social, cultural conditions of our society, such as environmental problems that aren’t rooted in the local context. A historic area that has a strong cultural background, has identity problems related to modern and traditional aspects. This journal aims to see the importance of maintaining local identity from tangible and intangible aspects, so that the “spirit” or identity can always adjust to the times in the era of globalization, especially in the tourist village of Brayut, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method, through field observation, interview and documentation. The results of this study indicate that local identity in the tourist village of Brayut is able to adapt to the challenges of globalization by utilizing and preserving cultural heritage buildings and fulfilling the four pillars of sustainability namely, cultural, social, economic, and environmental. The role of the community in managing the development of the built environment in historic areas also influences its sustainability.
