The sustainability's motif and design of fauna in Malay block batik. In: 1st International Conference on Social Sciences, Humanities, Economics and Law, September 5-6 2018, Padang, Indonesia. (In Press) (2019)
Abstract
This study is about the traditional fauna motif, which is an identity within Malaysian blocks batik. In addition, the history of the traditional block can be traced in Kelantan and was introduced in the 1912s. Later, in the 1930s, this technique was spread to Terengganu. Currently, with the globalization and modernization, the traditional motif is less publicized. Thus, the identity of block batik is less dominant. Therefore, this study aims to classify the various types of local block motifs and designs based on their features using suitable methodology. Comprehensive literature was conducted, and a typology was chosen to analyze the fauna image of the traditional block batik motif. Through the analysis, the traditional and modern motif of fauna group was organized and recognized. The outcome of this blueprint can be used to propose guidelines in designing motif and design of block batik based on the local Malaysian identity. The purpose of this study is to deliver precise clarification and portray the traditional identity of this textile. There is a need for the block batik motifs to have a traditional identity in the future design through the creation of guidelines to maintain local identity. Overall, batik manufacturers, policymakers, other researchers and universities can adopt the standard as a reference in the future for the sustainability of traditional batik motifs.
