Therefore, there is an urgency to strengthen human resources, science and technology to realise the aforementioned target. Meanwhile, Small Medium Enterprise (SME), particularly those focusing on creative industry, has been proved to have a positive contribution in escalating national economy.

Given on this fact, this research is conducted to strengthen human resource, science and technology capacity of the Batik SMEs in Indonesia through a development of knowledge management system. The research consists of three phases. The first phase is the identification and analysis of Batik SME’s needs of knowledge.
