| description | Terengganu has a historical record of being a formidable old commerce hub, renowned for
its local wisdom and its residents' expertise in handicrafts, particularly in the creation of
brassware handicraft. The brassware handicraft sector is less popular than other handicrafts like songket, batik, wood carving, weaving, etc. Additionally, its production rate has been
decreasing. Therefore, the study aims to identify issues and problems that contribute to the
decline of the brassware handicraft industry in Terengganu. This study primarily employs
qualitative research methods, which encompass external inquiries such as semi-structured
interviews and the thorough literature reviews and interpretation of collected data. The
SPSS Text Analytics for Surveys software is utilised to analyse data obtained from
interviews with 28 respondents directly involved in the brassware craft business. The
investigation yielded a validation model demonstrating the association between the various
concerns and problems in the brassware handicraft sector in Terengganu. Based on the
findings of this study, the researcher has categorised the challenges and concerns that need
to be considered by those interested in developing brassware crafting in Terengganu in the
future. These problems are typically categorised into three tiers: individual level, collective
level, and national level. A clear understanding of the issues and problems among
stakeholders through the validation model produced can increase the value of heritage
handicrafts in Terengganu and guarantee the sustainability of local wisdom so that it is
preserved and not lost over time. |
