Abstract
Batik is very adaptive as it develops and follows the changing of times. Therefore, it is always consistent with the socio-cultural development. Although the development of batik in some regions influenced each other, Gajah Oling batik from Banyuwangi had its own history and uniqueness. To survive, the culture and society must always adapt to life changes. Socio-cultural changes are influenced by factors like technologies and times. Originally, Gajah Oling batik was only used for sacred purposes, but it is now a favorite in the creative industry and has huge challenges in the community. The method used to explore the esthetic adaptation of batik makers to socio-cultural backgrounds is qualitative research supported by culture studies. Gajah Oling batik motif still remains and is used in Seblang dance and as uniforms. Besides being produced by the Osing tribe, Gajah Oling batik has also been produced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
