Preserving the Local Culture of Sasirangan Batik in Kertak Hanyar 2 Village with Healthy Production

Abstract

Kertak Hanyar 2 Village, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan has the potential to be developed as a village of Sasirangan batik craftsmen, preserving local culture. There are 30 Sasirangan batik craftsmen who produce traditional batik, done by human hands, from making motifs, coloring, dyeing, drying and selling. The majority of craftsmen still dispose of the dyeing waste of Sasirangan batik under wooden houses or in the surrounding environment, but there are some who have simple holding ponds. The purpose of this study was to identify the use of Sasirangan batik dyes and the potential to cause pollution to the surrounding environment. The research method was prepared descriptively with the research sample carried out by purposive sampling by taking samples from 2 large Sasirangan batik craftsmen in the village of Kertak Hanyar 2, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province with the biological, physical and chemical parameters of the heavy metal content of chromium and cadmium compared with the threshold according to the regulation.

The results showed that the production of sasirangan in the village of Kertak Hanyar2 has been started since 1986 until now, 100% of sasirangan batik production uses chemical dyes. Physical and chemical indicators are still below the permitted threshold according to the Regulation of the Governor of South Kalimantan Province Number 04 of 2007, several parameters that exceed the quality standard.
