Abstract
This study analyzes the rational actions of Laweyan batik craftsmen in socio-economic resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method is a mixed method by comparing descriptive quantitative data with qualitative data. The research location is in Laweyan Village, Surakarta City. The reason for choosing the location is because Laweyan is a place for batik production and sales, and much of the people work as batik craftsmen. The results showed that there was a decrease in income for Batik Laweyan craftsmen during the Covid-19 pandemic. Not a few craftsmen are looking for side jobs or reducing production costs during the pandemic. Various efforts have been made to increase the production, marketing and sales of batik. One of the efforts made is by utilizing digital media. In addition, value-oriented and instrumental rational actions also affect the socio-economic resilience of Laweyan batik craftsmen during the Covid-19 pandemic.
