Sustainable Design Criteria for Batik Cultural Centre in Klampar, Madura

Batik is part of the culture in Indonesia. With each region having its signature, the Government has taken various ways to ensure the sustainability of batik, providing a batik centre to support batik artisans and a batik museum to introduce culture to tourists. However, the program's sustainability cannot be maintained, and it always fails for several reasons. One can be seen in kampong batik in Klampar Village, Indonesia; the Government provided a Batik Centre in 2022, but the following year, it was abandoned, and the community returned to producing batik in their homes. This research aims to formulate sustainable design criteria for Batik Cultural Centre based on the four dimensions of sustainability and sustainable tourism. The sustainability review of kampong batik in Klampar Village will carried out qualitatively, and the solutions offered will be analyzed empirically with the support of previous theories to provide credibility. The results show that six architectural aspects can be intervened in developing culture-based sustainable tourism: facilities, room programs, materials, skin, spatial connectivity, and floor plan. This study contributes to setting the design criteria for vernacular architecture that wants to be re-purposed as a tourism facility within the sustainability corridors.
