The preservation and protection of intangible cultural heritage in Uzbekistan are crucial for maintaining national identity, fostering social cohesion, and ensuring the continuity of traditions. This paper explores the theoretical aspects of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, focusing on historical influences, community participation, legal frameworks, educational initiatives, and economic factors such as cultural tourism. Despite significant progress, challenges such as globalization, urbanization, and generational shifts threaten the transmission of traditional knowledge. By integrating technological advancements, sustainable tourism strategies, and international collaboration, Uzbekistan can enhance the resilience of its intangible heritage. This study highlights the need for a multidimensional approach that balances authenticity, economic viability, and modern adaptation to ensure the sustainability of Uzbekistan’s rich cultural traditions.
