The Traditional Javanese Drama Preservation based on Information Technology

Abstract

: The traditional Javanese theatrical begins to dim in the modern era. The traditional Javanese theatrical preservation based on information technology is done in three activities, which are preservation skill activities, financial supporting activities, and information technology activities based on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Some financial activities have been supported by the Indonesian government and society. The exis-tence of this traditional culture continues to grow with the local community and can be known by the public. The process of website creation begins with several designs such as website structure, layout, features as well as the application of SEO on some articles. Promotion of folk art through the medium of information technology is expected to revive the traditional Javanese drama as well as affect the welfare of the members of the society. This paper aimed to seek an approach for the traditional Javanese theatrical preservation, especially in the Yogyakarta region.
