Abstract

This study aims to boost the economy and promote development in the Lemahdadi region of Bantul, Indonesia by utilizing local wisdom to enhance the competitiveness of the creative industry, particularly in producing high-value handicrafts using stone and marble waste. The high demand for these products has led to continuous mining activities, which, without proper land development, could result in natural disasters. However, the creative economy can be developed by optimizing the use of these waste products, providing a globally oriented economy while maintaining cultural roots. The study found that there are weaknesses in the entrepreneurial abilities of creative industry players, and in the underdevelopment of creative industries based on local wisdom. Traditional sculpting methods also result in monotonous products, as there is no dyeing process in sculptures or other handicrafts. As a result, the study suggests that development in the creative industry is essential in promoting economic growth, and the optimization of waste products from the mining industry can provide a sustainable solution to this issue. By enhancing the competitiveness of the creative industry, the region’s unique local culture can be preserved while providing a potential attraction for domestic and foreign tourists.
