Abstract
Laweyan has a very distinctive society-the batik
entrepreneurs group. The history recorded that
Laweyan was famous because this area was the centre
of this group. The batik industry developed rapidly in
the mid-19
th
century until 1870 due to the invention of
‘batik cap’-stamped batik technique. This
advancement was marked by large scale commercial
spaces as well as strong and independent social
economy.
Their commercial spaces usually were integrated with
their residential houses. Their factories were located in
their home area but in separate compounds. The
business was managed by the housewives, also known
as ‘Mbokmase’. The husbands or “Masnganten” acted
as the second-in-command.
In the 2000s, the Laweyan society’s entrepreneurial
concept was slowly shifted. They were no longer
entrepreneurs who produced their batik in their
factories. Now they are batik sellers who turn their
homes into batik stores without considering the
sanctity of some rooms. This situation unintentionally
became a threat for heritage space in Batik Kampong
Laweyan.
This qualitative research used descriptive narrative
technique. Data collection was conducted using
grounded theory strategy through interview with the
entrepreneurs who experience the change. Finding: the
business in Laweyan is better than other regions
because it is still supported by its labours and the
economic institution. It also has a strong motivation
from the community. All these showed that Laweyan
still has potential entrepreneurs who should be taken
into account.
