Peran Bahasa Indonesia dan Ekonomi Kreatif dalam Mengembangkan Produk Budaya Lokal Lampung

Abstract

Indonesian language and creative economy play a significant role in the development of local cultural products in Lampung, which include various cultural elements such as tapis cloth, culinary specialties of seruit, and traditional martial arts. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach to explore Lampung's local culture and how this culture can be promoted through the creative economy sector. Data were obtained through a review of relevant, credible, and up-to-date literature. The results of the study indicate that Indonesian language plays an important role as a means of communication, education, and promotion to support the development of local culture. Meanwhile, the creative economy provides encouragement for product innovation, community empowerment, marketing, and distribution of Lampung's cultural products in the global market. Lampung, as a province with rich cultural diversity, has a great opportunity to increase its competitiveness and economic value through strategic collaboration between the effective use of Indonesian language and strengthening the creative economy. However, challenges such as the influence of globalization and the lack of public awareness of preserving local culture need to be overcome. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with an ethnographic study approach and the objects studied include Lampung's local culture, such as Tapis cloth, dance, and culinary specialties of Lampung, one of which is seruit.
