Abstract

4. Introduction :Handmade batik is a work of art that is recognized worldwide as an original Indonesian cultural heritage. The production process of handmade batik is carried out traditionally and from generation to generation in Solo and Yogyakarta as the oldest batik development areas in Indonesia. The challenge in making handmade batik is a very long process and increased productivity is a paradoxical fact. The extent to which the use of batik production equipment technology is used to produce handmade batik products is a concern in this study.
5. Purpose : To analyze each of the effects of the equipment technology orientation of the drawing table, canting, canting cap, padder, and kenceng on the handmade batik production process and the effect of equipments technology orientation simultaneously on the production performance of handmade batik SMEs in Central Java.
6. Method : The method used is the multiple linear regression statistical test with SPSS. Applied to test the effect of using each equipment on handmade batik SMEs in Solo and Yogyakarta.
7. Main Finding : The results showed that the production performance of batik SMEs in Central Java was influenced by the technology orientation of the equipments used simultaneously. The technology orientation of each equipment, namely canting cap, padder and kenceng, affects the performance of handmade batik production. Meanwhile, the orientation of the drawing table and canting technology has no effect on the performance of handmade batik production.
8. Implication : As the oldest batik producing city in Indonesia, without abandoning the true principles of handmade batik, batik SMEs in Solo and Yogyakarta use slightly more modern and technology-oriented production equipments to make handmade batik. Batik SMEs in other regions in Indonesia, can develop handmade batik production with canting cap, padder, and kenceng with a more modern orientation technology to improve the performance of their handmade batik production.
