This study aims to examine the influence of economic, environmental, and social factors on manufacturing sustainability, which subsequently affects community development as reflected by well-being and social capital. The research was conducted at Kampung Batik Laweyan, one of the oldest batik industry communities in Indonesia. Data were obtained using questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that economic, environmental, and social factors significantly influence manufacturing sustainability, community well-being, and social capital. It also shows that the presence of the batik industry largely determines the existence of the Kampung Batik Laweyan community as a manifestation of the stability of the Triple Bottom Line concept, namely, economic, environmental, and social factors. This study is expected to be a model for interested parties in preserving the existence of Laweyan as a batik village in Indonesia.

Though studies on the relationship between worldly asceticism and economic progress is an old thing, this study presents a revisit of Boeke's Indonesia dual economy as a result of the presence of a mixture of such a duality performed by Santrientrepreneurs at Laweyan, Solo, Indonesia. Industrialism as a way of life is commonly linked to the transformation from agricultural societies into industrial in modern West nations, with the crucial roles of industrial entrepreneurs who were among the few in the respective societies having distinctive personal qualities. The most well-known thesis was Weber's thesis on the relationship between the Protestant ethic and economic development by the few entrepreneurs possessing worldly asceticismhomo economicus who were working hard for achieving material well-being but at the same time develop religious ascetic life. The paper makes an account of Islam-based Santri-entrepreneurs in Kampung Batik Laweyan (KBL), Solo, Indonesia, employing a critically theoretical perspective of Max Weber and Boeke; the study takes into account political context and socio-cultural setting. It is our findings that Santri-entrepreneurs at KBL developed worldly asceticism, but political context has made the unstable growth of the business; contemporary steady growth has been made possible by the provision of the concept KBL as Cultural Heritage and facilitation by the local government, especially the establishment of deliberation forum among several parties that gives ample room for their steady growth.

The development of batik tourism villages has an important role in the development of sustainable tourism. On the other hand, it also has an impact on a paradigm shift in socio-cultural impacts and changes in community values. Many studies examine the importance of developing a tourist village, but studies that discuss how the impact of developing a batik tourism village on socio-cultural changes and changes in values have not been widely studied. This study aims to analyze the socio-cultural impact and value changes in the Pesindon batik tourism village after the establishment of Pesindon as a batik tourism village in Pekalongan City. This study uses a qualitative approach involving informants as the main source of information and supporting informants. Data collection used the interview method on 15 respondents from Pesindon-Indonesia batik tourism village. Also, document analysis in the form of archives and other important documents was also carried out. The study results on the determination of Pesindon as a batik tourism village in Pekalongan City had a positive impact on the relationship between batik entrepreneurs and workers and batik entrepreneurs with the community. In addition, the relationship that occurs in the Pesind on batik tourism village leads to professional work to meet the needs of each individual, and batik is increasingly entrenched among the people of Pekalongan and increasingly popular in Indonesia. The establishment of the Pesindon batik tourism village provides positive benefits for the socio-cultural impact and changes in values and provides additional literature on life in society. The study results have implications for relevant stakeholders in the development of tourist villages to support sustainable tourism.
