Penerapan Fraktal dalam Desain Pusat Kerajinan Tenun Ikat Lewokluok di Kecamatan Demon Pagong Kabupaten Flores Timur

The cultural tradition of tie cloth is a typical Indonesian tradition which is the origin of the cultural ecosystem of a region. Ikat cloth has even become an integral part of traditional ceremonial ceremonies, traditional marriage ceremonies, and religious ceremonies. Tie fabrics have different motifs in each region according to the peculiarities of the region itself. Lewokluok Village is a village in East Flores Regency, which has a variety of ikat motifs. The diversity of the ikat motifs is a symbol of unifying the culture of Lewokluok village from the many tribes that inhabit Lewokluok village. The provision of an tie craft center is an effort to overcome the problems faced by tie weaving craftsmen in preserving the tie culture, promoting tie weaving, and marketing the existing tie weaving works. The craft center is a place that is used as a center for production, promotion, tourism, and cultivation activities as well as the cultural development of an area. The design of the Lewokluok tie craft center uses the application of fractals. Fractal is a geometric shape that is irregular in shape, contorted but has similarities with itself. This fractal formation uses the principle of self-similarity from the basic pattern, namely the Lewokluok tie motif which is transformed into the form of building mass. This study uses a descriptive analysis method, starting from data collection consisting of primary data and secondary data. This data is obtained from the results of observations, interviews, and documentation as well as from literature studies and comparative studies of similar objects and themes. This data is then analyzed with various alternatives to produce the final design concept. In the end, it can produce a design center for Lewokluok tie weaving according to its function and purpose and increase the potential for cultural tourism in Lewokluok by applying fractals to the shape of the building that shows the characteristics of Lewokluok tie motifs.

Probing Issues of Indigeneity and Contemporaneity in a Collection of Rorke’s Drift Ceramics

In 1988, the art collector Mark Bernstein donated to the University of KwaZulu–Natal a collection of seven vessels, produced by potters at the Evangelical Lutheran Church Art and Craft Center at Rorke’s Drift, in KwaZulu-Natal Province. This collection, referred to here as the Bernstein Collection, is displayed in the university’s Main Library in Durban. This paper explores the ceramics in this Collection, focusing on their indigenous narratives and visual designs in relation to Basotho and Zulu cultural representation. The decorations are figurative and contain iconographic signifiers that reflect both indigeneity and contemporaneity. These works were produced by several ceramic artists working in the Rorke’s Drift pottery workshop in the 1970s. Thematic analysis is employed as a qualitative approach to consideration of the ceramics and associated imagery. An autoethnographic analysis of these ceramic works in comparison with other studies and reliable sources shows that styles and genres at Rorke’s Drift were based on local and international cultural mediations, and the hybridity formed by abstract motifs, forms and patterns. These proved to be essential features for sustaining cultural identities within the studio context of the pottery workshop: a form of cross-cultural expression that facilitates harmonies of visual expression within the artistic communities involved.

Spatial Parameters for Circular Construction Hubs: Location Criteria for a Circular Built Environment

Implementing a circular economy in cities has been proposed by policy makers as a potential solution for achieving sustainability in the construction sector. One strategy that has gained interest by both policy makers and companies is to develop “circular construction hubs”: locations that collect, store, and redistribute waste as secondary resources. However, there is limited literature taking a spatially explicit view, identifying the spatial parameters that could affect the locations of hubs both for now and in the future. This study therefore aims to categorize different types of circular hubs for the construction industry, collect spatial parameters required for finding suitable locations for each type of circular hub, and translate the spatial parameters into a list of data and spatial analysis methods that could be used to identify potential future locations. The study used the Netherlands as a case study, extracting spatial parameters from two sources: Dutch governmental policy documents on circular economy and spatial development and interviews with companies operating circular hubs. Four types of circular construction hubs were identified: urban mining hubs, industry hubs, local material banks, and craft centers. The spatial parameters were extracted for each type of hub from four perspectives: resources (such as material type, business model), accessibility (such as mode and scale of transportation), land use (such as plot size, land use), and socio-economic (such as labor availability). The parameters were then translated into a list of spatial data and analysis methods required to identify future locations of circular construction hubs.

Проблемные вопросы изучения золотоордынского города Мохши

Research objectives: To analyze the problematic issues of the chronology, periodization, historical development, and economic development of the administrative center of the northeastern ulus of the Golden Horde – the Mokhshi city (Narovchatsky settlement). Research materials: Data from archaeological excavations of the Narovchatsky settlement, numismatic collections of the Golden Horde coins, and previously published works on this issue which need a critical approach and the addition of supplementary details. Results and novelty of the research: The history of the existence of this city covers the period from the XII century to the beginning of the XV century. The main sources are materials from archaeological excavations, including numismatic collection of coins minted in the Mokhshi city. Urban development objects are represented by mausoleums, mosques, industrial sites, and residential buildings, information about which is supplemented by finds of jewelry, household items, and weapons. In the pre-Mongol period, a Mordovian settlement arose here and at the beginning of the 14th century, the ulus center was transferred from the city of Ukek to Mokhshi. From that point, the city experienced its most flourishing period when it became not only an administrative but also a trade and craft center. Copper and silver coins were minted in the city. Buildings made of burnt bricks were erected, a white-stone mosque likewise being built. The development of the production traditions of the local Mordovian population continued, influenced by Volga Bulgaria, and noted changes in the spiritual culture of the site can be associated with the spread of Islam. From the mid-1360s, the decline of both the city itself and its rural districts can be observed.

Once there was a ‘morung’

Abstract In Nagaland, a state in India’s North-East region, the morung is a tribal institution that serves as an educational portal through which all young men passed as the means of learning their living heritage. Described by anthropological accounts, for a century until the 1950s, as a ‘dormitory’ for boys and young men, it is in fact much more. It is a school, both vocational and law, a premises in which tribal elders dispense wisdom, a crafts centre, a barracks, and embodies other functions too. Moreover, it is one of the most important, if not the most important, social institution that maintains instruction about what may be called a pre-materialist worldview, one that was widespread when indigenous societies were free from a science hegemony that defined what counts as knowledge. From the 1990s, a combination of factors caused the decline of the institution, and as tribal youth have moved into the ‘mainstream’, the morung and all that it stands for is close to being extinguished. Yet it is irreplaceable. For Naga adolescents and youth, the morung was physically where part of an unique worldview became manifest, one which valued cooperation far above competition. While there, the youth learned within sight of all that was dear to them, a learning immersion complete in many respects. Their learning used the medium of material mastery and intimacy with material laws to transport the youth, so that their awareness of nature abundant became awareness of its invisible forces both subtle and great.

Sosialisasi Dan Pelatihan Marketing E-Commerce Dan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi Untuk Mendukung Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM) Kerajinan Logam Di Kecamatan Cepogo Boyolali Menghadapi Revolusi Industri 4.0

MSMEs are the most important pillars in the Indonesian economy. The most famous copper craft center in Indonesia is Tumang Village, Cepogo, Boyolali, Central Java. It is called a craft center because of the local residents, some of whom are copper craftsmen. The problems that occur are the limited information technology and the ability to access technology and information from outside, as well as management that has not been implemented properly that can support the craftsman development program, both from the point of view of the professionalism of its human resources as well as in terms of product development, craft design equipment and management. In addition, sales systems and data processing are still carried out conventionally, resulting in limited marketing opportunities and transaction processing. The lack of literacy of SMEs towards information technology is the cause. Only about 25% of all business actors in Tumang have utilized technology for marketing and financial management. The implementation of this Community Service is intended to provide socialization and training as well as assistance to improve skills and knowledge for craftsmen to market their products on a global scale and provide electronic sales applications for craftsmen so that customers can get information quickly, and can make online shopping transactions. As well as a digital accounting information system that will increasingly provide convenience in creating accountable, transparent, and secure financial reports. This PKM activity was carried out by the Community Service Team (PKM) from the Management Economics Study Program at the Islamic University of Batik Surakarta through the 2021 Matching Fund grant. The PKM activity was aimed at brass and copper metal craftsmen in Tumang, Cepogo Boyolali. The methods used are socialization, training, and mentoring. The results of PKM activities are technological innovations in the form of a Marketplace Application called "Javacraft", which is a web application developed by the Islamic University of Surakarta Batik as an online sales medium or as a sales medium for MSMEs of local Indonesian handicrafts, especially copper or brass crafts in Tumang Boyolali, handicraft products and sales processing facilities. In addition, PKM activities also include socialization about digital marketing (e-commerce) and Accounting Information Systems (SIA), training and assistance in using the "Javacraft" Marketplace Application to support sales of brass and copper metal crafts in Tumang.

Sustainable Design As An Effort To Develop Bali Special Woven-Bamboo Packaging

The Bali Provincial Government through PERGUB (Governor Regulation) Number 97 of 2018 has regulated the Limitation of Disposable Waste Generation. The implementation of these regulations has been implemented among Small and Medium Industries (IKM) that produce Balinese souvenirs. The IKM sector has begun to switch to using bamboo packaging, which is commonly used to package banten pejati (Balinese traditional offerings) sold in traditional markets. However, this condition causes the appearance of food packaging designs that package Balinese souvenirs to look uniform, lacking a touch of local Balinese culture that can be used as an identity for Bali's superior products branding to tourists. This creation aims to design bamboo packaging as Balinese souvenir packaging which has the concept of eco-friendly design. The research method was used to formulate the motif design concept and the method of creation to design the bamboo packaging design by adopting the woven bamboo technique at the bamboo craft center in Bali. The novelty of this bamboo packaging design can be seen in the motif design inspired by Geringsing Cemplong weaving motif which is formed with the woven bamboo technique. This motif has never existed before and is able to represent the identity of the local Balinese culture. The color material used as paint is a natural color material. Derived from mixing mango leaves and strobilanthes/indigo leaves through an environmentally friendly process to produce a green color. The creation of environmentally friendly bamboo packaging is expected to inspire woven-bamboo craftsmen to start switching to environmentally friendly products that are safe to use in food packaging.

ЦЕЛЬНОКОВАНЫЙ ОЙРАТСКИЙ ШЛЕМ ИЗ СОБРАНИЯ АКМОЛИНСКОГО ОБЛАСТНОГО ИСТОРИКО-КРАЕВЕДЧЕСКОГО МУЗЕЯ

The article studies the iron helmet under inventory number GIK-228, stored in Akmola regional historical museum (AOIKM, Kokshetau, Kazakhstan). The purpose of this article is to provide a detailed description of the helmet’s construction and design, as well to define its age and attribution. By its material, the helmet is classified as an iron helmet, by its construction it is solid-forged and by its shape it is spherocylindrical. As a result of the analysis of the construction and design features of the AOIKM helmet we can consider that it belongs to XVII-mid of XVIII centuries. Most probably it has been forged in the second half of this period for a wealthy Oirat (presumably Djungar) Buddhist warrior. This assumption is made based on the helmet’s construction, considering that its top is shaped like a Buddhist ritual vessel. The AOIKM helmet might have been forged either by local Djungarian armorers or in one of craft centers in Transoxiana (or Mawarannahr) where gunsmiths were massively preparing armor for Djungars under supervision of Oirat masters. Numerous helmets of similar design decorated with Buddhist symbolsare kept in museums and private collections in Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and China.

Soaking up the Sun: Solar Energy Optimization during Pandemic, Study Case at Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Rattan Crafts Center in Trangsan Village, Sukoharjo, Central Java

The National Energy General Plan has set a target of achieving the Renewable Energy mix by 23% by 2030, to achieve this the transition of energy to RE must be done immediately.
