Batik is one of Indonesian culture heritage. Currently, the concern and
interest of the young generation towards batik is decreasing, so efforts are
needed to preserve and find an attractive method to develop variation on batik patterns. One of the pattern
innovations is applied to develop Uru'Ngauwit batik. The Uru'Ngauwit pattern inspired
from the seaweed, palm fruits and shields, known as North Kalimantan potential
resources. Uru’Ngauwit is derived from Tidung and Dayak languages. The method
used in this research comprises several steps; first is identification the
basic patterns of Uru'Ngauwit batik, based on the form of seaweed, palm fruits
and shields. Second, building a mathematical formula to produce basic pattern. Next transformation (translation, rotation,
reflection, and dilation) of the mathematical formula according to the pattern
and finding new patterns from the basic patterns. The analysis results six main
shapes, consisting hexagons, line functions, quadratic functions, horizontal
parabolas, circles and ellipses.
