Cirebon Kanoman Market is one of the traditional markets whose existence still plays an active role in the lives of the people of Cirebon to this day. The lively atmosphere of Cirebon Kanoman Market, which is rich in historical, social, and cultural values, has the potential to be used as inspiration in developing one of Cirebon City’s heritages, which is batik. The development of Cirebon’s batik patterns is a form of effort that not only includes preserving tradition, but also includes innovation by creating new, interesting, and relevant designs in the eyes of consumers. This research aims to explore how the dynamic atmosphere of a traditional market can become a local potential that can encourage creativity in creating batik patterns that reflect the characteristics of the local area. The research method involves field observation at the Kanoman Market in Cirebon, analysis of batik patterns of Cirebon, as well as explorations of converting the market life into batik patterns. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the preservation of traditional markets in Cirebon, as well as contribute to the preservation and development of Cirebon’s batik heritage. In addition, the results of this research can provide a better understanding of how the influence of traditional markets can be used as a source of inspiration in the field of creative industries such as creating batik patterns that not only have high aesthetic value, but also reflect the richness of local culture. It is also hoped that the results of this research can support Cirebon’s batik industry in increasing its competitiveness in local and global markets.
