This study discusses that floral motifs as the dominant traditional motifs in Malaysian block batik. In the 20th century, the block makers created any motif with purpose—the traditional block batik motifs not revealed due to lack of secure identity upon the development of high-tech modernisation.  Based on the sequence of this issue, this study aims to classify the various types of local block motifs and designs. The classification base on their features using a suitable procedure. The crucial outcomes where the motifs of block batik still show the elements and innovation of the local motif identity.

This study aims to discover the imitation batik sarong in term of their design, which includes the motifs, colours and structure. The method is by field visit, observation and interviews. The scenario in the batik industry and detail about the characteristic that fooled consumers was stated in this study. The imitation batik is not a traditional batik sarong, because they are not aesthetically sustained the traditional technique and characteristic is also different. In a future study, this research should define how the role of innovation can continue, and the traditional batik flourishes without shading off the batik tradition.

This study is about the traditional fauna motif, which is an identity within Malaysian blocks batik. In addition, the history of the traditional block can be traced in Kelantan and was introduced in the 1912s. Later, in the 1930s, this technique was spread to Terengganu. Currently, with the globalization and modernization, the traditional motif is less publicized. Thus, the identity of block batik is less dominant. Therefore, this study aims to classify the various types of local block motifs and designs based on their features using suitable methodology. Comprehensive literature was conducted, and a typology was chosen to analyze the fauna image of the traditional block batik motif. Through the analysis, the traditional and modern motif of fauna group was organized and recognized. The outcome of this blueprint can be used to propose guidelines in designing motif and design of block batik based on the local Malaysian identity. The purpose of this study is to deliver precise clarification and portray the traditional identity of this textile. There is a need for the block batik motifs to have a traditional identity in the future design through the creation of guidelines to maintain local identity. Overall, batik manufacturers, policymakers, other researchers and universities can adopt the standard as a reference in the future for the sustainability of traditional batik motifs.

This study develops a circular supply chain management model. The review shows how CSCM promotes green supply chain management and sustainability by extending its sustainable dimension beyond the original producer. Closed-loop and open-loop supply chains are CSCM components. Using contingency theory and transaction cost theory, the CSCM model proposes that product circularity in closed-loop and open-loop supply chains affects a company's circular economy performance. This model explains CSCM's popularity in current literature, which supports the circular economy. Keywords: Circular, Closed-loop, Open-loop, Sustainability, Supply Chain eISSN: 2398-4287© 2022..

This project reviewed on the artwork that exhibited in galleries is always in danger of being deteriorated due to exposure or the unconducive environment unless a good system of preserving them is in place. The valuable artwork must protect, and therefore a useful archiving technology needs to be engaged for the perpetual digitalized artwork. This project was able to digitalize for constant archiving of artwork that contains various themes, styles, content and context from a different medium. The identification is essential due to categorizing the types of material, including physical and visual protection through digitations.  Keywords: Archiving; Artwork; Digitized; Sustainable Context; Visual eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2021.
