Abstract
The target of this research is to figure out the state of practice and transmission of Batik, an Indonesian textile dyeing Intangible Cultural Heritage, and necessary angles for its conservation. Knowledge related to Batik is shared and transmitted in craftspeople communities in Wukirsari Village, which is one of Batik centers in Indonesia. What’s more, Batik cloth production organizations play an essential role in the transmission of Batik technique through creating job opportunities, establishing selling systems and so on. Apart from that, these organizations also hold mutual aiding activities, which build strong relationship among craftspeople and support daily life of craftspeople financially. So it is can be concluded that 3 points are necessary for the transmission of Batik culture: building a knowledge-sharing environment, making Batik practice an occupation, offering values beyond financial benefits.

Summary
In order to safeguard traditional performing arts, craftsmanship and so on, the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was adopted by UNESCO in 2003, entering into force in 2006 and ratified by 180 States until 2020. It is said that intangible cultural heritages (ICH) couldn’t exist in isolation without bearers, who are related individuals, groups and communities. The importance of bearers, which are deemed essential in the creation, protection, maintenance and renewal of ICH, is emphasized throughout the Convention. As heritages of great value for indigenous societies, ICH provides important implications for solving the global challenges facing the world today through advocating inherited knowledge and cultural diversity. Great importance has been attached to the protection of ICH gradually. Some States are still not equipped with well-designed protection systems
