Abstract

Plastic waste presents a major environmental challenge worldwide, with improper disposal endangering ecosystems. Upcycling offers a solution by conserving natural resources, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing waste, all while lowering the demand for new production. Additionally, recycling generates significant economic benefits, particularly by producing high-quality commercial products in sectors like furniture. In Gumuruh Village, Bandung, the community actively participates in recycling efforts, including the processing of organic waste, to create sustainable products. Through the Design Thinking approach and Service Learning, academics and local SMEs collaborate to design and develop products that directly benefit the community.

Abstract

Fauna motifs hold social and cultural significance as symbolism in their application to cultural artifacts. Fauna decorative motifs applied to fashionable scarves and hijabs have religious limitations, as depicting fauna images is strictly prohibited and considered a form of associating partners with Allah SWT in the Islamic religion. One of the fauna motifs explored in this research is the representation of imaginary living creatures. The topic addressed in this study is the analysis of fauna motif designs using a visual adaptation strategy approach, with a focus on aesthetic elements in the printed fauna motifs of the Alzena Kids Moslem brand's fashionable hijabs. The fauna motif that serves as the brand's identity within the broader context of Muslim fashion is the Unicorn image. The Unicorn, also known as Qilin in Chinese history, is an adaptation of a horse-like creature with unique features, including a horn. This research aims to understand the reasons behind brands incorporating depictions of living creatures in the visual adaptation of fauna motif designs on printed scarf hijabs. The research methodology employed is qualitative descriptive research with a visual adaptation approach. The study examines the aesthetic elements through the theory of visual adaptation strategies as parameters for analyzing the research objects. The analysis of objects is conducted by collecting hijab products with fauna motif designs obtained from observations at the Indonesia Hijab Festival 2022 exhibition. This research is conducted to map out the designs and adaptation strategies of printed fashionable hijabs featuring fauna motifs from the Alzena Kids Moslem brand.

Abstract

Visual adaptation is an activity aimed at developing historical values and symbolic meanings of cultural identity. Regional aesthetic visual identity is expressed through the development of decorative motifs. The decorative motifs of Sunda batik reflect the cultural values and traditional identity of the Sundanese community through the combination of stylization, abstraction, and formal shapes. Cultural transformation has led to the emergence of "Modern Sunda" while preserving its characteristic motifs. On the other hand, Karawang batik adapts elements from agricultural activities, transforming stylized paddy plants into unique motifs that reflect the identity of the Karawang community. Visual adaptation is also applied in depicting living beings in batik motifs, as seen in the Rifa’iyah community, where incomplete depictions of living beings are developed, and their techniques are preserved as a tradition to sustain batik-making activities. Furthermore, visual adaptation is applied to products, such as cartoon unicorn designs in abstract stylization, to meet market demands, particularly in Muslim products. This study aims to provide a literature review on visual adaptation of decorative motifs in Sunda and Karawang batik, particularly in relation to the depiction of living beings. The research employs a qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by interpreting previous studies as evidence to provide answers. This research explains the connection between batik motifs and visual adaptation of living beings, aiming to develop activities and aesthetic forms relevant to contemporary times.

Abstract

Plastic waste has become one of the most urgent environmental challenges, particularly at the household level where waste management practices remain limited and underutilized. This community service project was carried out to empower PKK as Family Welfare Empowerment community groups from Kelurahan Gumuruh, Bandung, Indonesia, by integrating eco-branding strategies into sustainable plastic waste management. The main objective was to transform household plastic waste into value-added products that could strengthen community-based economic independence. The method applied was participatory action through design workshops in which 40 PKK participants were actively involved. They were guided by design lecturers and supported by students in generating ideas, developing concepts, and producing product prototypes. A total of 30 prototypes were successfully produced and curated, reflecting both functional and aesthetic qualities, as well as the principles of eco-branding. These products are planned to be exhibited and marketed through local bazaars, providing visibility and potential economic opportunities for the community. The results demonstrated that collaboration between PKK communities and academic facilitators significantly improved participants’ knowledge, creativity, and confidence in plastic waste management. In conclusion, this program highlighted the importance of community and academic partnerships in addressing environmental issues while simultaneously fostering local economic development.
