Abstract

Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that is already global and characterizes Indonesian society. In each batik motif has a meaning content. The meaning in a sign is also called semiotics. The plan to move the state capital of Indonesia to East Kalimantan has brought some changes, one of which is in the field of batik. The introduction of the East Kalimantan area, especially the Sungai Pinang district which has natural, tourism and religious resources, is also a solution to introduce the prospective capital city of the country. The purpose of making the batik motif development in Sungai Pinang District is as a solution to the problem of introducing the national capital area. With quantitative methods and semiotics analysis, a batik design was made in the Sungai Pinang sub-district. Based on questionnaire data obtained 5 designs of new batik motifs in Sungai Pinang sub-district which were obtained by exploring historical data of history, tourism, natural resources of the Sungai Pinang area in particular and East Kalimantan in general. The hope of developing this new batik is that it can be used as a medium for tourism promotion, to increase the income of Samarinda batik craftsmen during the Covid 19 pandemic.
