Abstract

Roni Sarwani, 2022. Transformation of the Mahligai Stupa of
Muara Takus Temple as a Batik Motif Design in Kampar
Regency. Thesis proposal. Padang State University Postgraduate
Program.
Based on the existing conditions, it is known that the root of the
problem in the field of Malay batik product design in the form of
Batik Motif Design Development through the Transformation of
the Mahligai Stupa of Muara Takus Temple in Kampar Regency,
is due to a lack of human resources who have the potential to be
creative and innovative in creating batik motif designs by
transforming the Stupa Mahligai Muara Takus Temple in
Kampar Regency. So that this condition resulted in the quality of
community resources to be low. To improve the quality of
community resources in Kampar Regency, efforts have been
made to develop regionally distinctive batik motif designs. The
goal to be achieved in the development of this batik motif design
is the preservation of Malay culture in the transformation of
cultural objects as a typical batik motif design for the Kampar
Regency area.
The type of this research is Batik Motif Design Development
Research developed using four-D models. Data collection was
carried out by validating and testing the developed product. The
design will be designed, validated by experts, to determine the
practicality and effectiveness of the motif designs developed.
Batik motif designs were produced through the transformation of
the Mahligai Stupa of Muara Takus Temple in Kampar Regency
as a valid effort to preserve local culture. Based on the pre-test
conducted in the batik motif design process, it is known that its
implementation is in the very practical category. The response
from the local community is urgently needed in the
transformation of the batik motif design of the Mahligai Stupa of
Muara Takus Temple into a batik motif design in Kampar
Regency which is developed into positive results. Pre-observation
results showed good results. In addition, this research also
produced two training products in the form of 1) Batik Motif
Design Development Book, 2) batik products in the form of batik
cloth.
