- Abstract
Pakidulan Batik development is an effort to support the position of Ciletuh Palabuhanratu as a Global Geopark given by UNESCO. The nomination as a global geopark represents a part of inheritance and educational process to Indonesian citizen through cultural diversity. Therefore, this study aims to describe the design of Pakidulan Batik motifs which are inspired and developed from the natural environment icon and identity of the region. A descriptive analysis method was used to analyze batik motif objects taken from several beautiful materials in surrounding environments. Meanwhile, the batiks were found in batik center located in Purwasedar, Ciracap Sub-District, Sukabumi. The results of the study showed that the batik designs were originally derived from the beauty of environment such as Centreng, Rereng Cimarinjung, Tegal Sabuk, and Karang Bolong. The visualization of Pakidulan Batik motifs with the theme of natural beauty can strengthen the identity of the Ciletuh Geopark area and cultural diversity. Pakidulan batik as an identity can function as a use of art, memories and souvenirs. Visualization of design and batik works also introduces information about the names of batik motifs, as well as the beauty of techniques and values of batik originating from local wisdom that describes the character of the maker. Thus, batik can strengthen the cultural diversity of the Ciletuh Palabuhanratu Geopark area in West Java, Indonesia.
