Recommendation The result of study focused more on the culture of heritage or more into the old building, art, music, food, and stories of the history of the city of Surabaya.However, the social media has not yet touched local wisdom of Surabaya in the field of health, agriculture, and social. Local wisdom of Surabaya needs to be explored and documented, so it can be used by the next generation. From the results of a study of social media that documents the cultural richness of Surabaya, it should be appreciated by the city of Surabaya, for example by cooperating with the community to contribute through social media. Seeing much enthusiasm that the people of Surabaya give in documenting the wealth of their local culture, government could create a media that is more formal and valid as well as inviting experts of culture, history, and community leaders who are knowledgeable about the local culture Surabaya, so that the whole image, information, video documented are accountable.
