Abstract

This study investigates the factors contributing to the decline of traditional Okun weaving and aimed to document and revitalize the craft to prevent its extinction, while it adopts methods to revive this cultural practice. Using a mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative data collection, the study gathered responses from weavers, users, lecturers, and students through interviews, questionnaires, and observations. Likert scale ratings were utilized to analyze the perceptions and attitudes towards the potential revival strategies for Okun woven fabrics. Findings reveal significant cultural and economic impacts and suggest strategic measures for resuscitation.
