HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR BATIK LASEM PRESERVATION THROUGH EDUCATION

Abstract

The preservation of batik as an intangible asset is important. The rich cultural history of Batik Lasem is investigated in this study, which focuses on how the school system in Lasem, Indonesia, helps to the preservation of that tradition. When it comes to imparting the practical skills and information that are essential for batik design, vocational high schools are supposed to play a significant role. These schools seamlessly combine traditional techniques with contemporary digital art methods. According to the findings of the research, there are different degrees of integration of batik education across different schools, which highlights the necessity of increased collaboration and curriculum development. The importance of community learning centers and vocational schools in the preservation of Batik Lasem's cultural legacy is brought to light by the recommendations. Both Sustainable Development Goal 4 and Goal 11 are aligned with these activities, which emphasize the preservation of local culture and the provision of high-quality education. These projects make an effort to develop collaboration to guarantee the long-term viability of Lasem's cultural heritage as a significant asset to the local community.
