ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the social network patterns and capacity building of the Goyor sarong crafters’ group within the creative economy ecosystem at the Non-Mechanized Loom (ATBM) Goyor Weaving Center in North Wanarejan, Pemalang Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with business owners, workers, and relevant stakeholders, as well as the review of various supporting documents. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and interactive conclusion-drawing. The results indicate that the Goyor weaving ecosystem is dominated by home-based industries supported by social networks rooted in trust, mutual cooperation, and close working relationships, thereby strengthening market access, innovation, and resource management. Nevertheless, business operators still face challenges such as fluctuations in demand, limited innovation in patterns, and low utilization of digital marketing. Capacity building is achieved through product diversification, digital marketing transformation, and institutional strengthening through collaboration among stakeholders. This study contributes to the development of creative economy-based SME empowerment policies while enriching the literature on the role of social networks in enhancing the competitiveness of the traditional handicraft industry.
