UPAYA PELESTARIAN SENI PAHAT TROWULAN MELALUI MEDIA BUKU ILUSTRASI INTERAKTIF SEBAGAI EDUKASI BUDAYA UNTUK ANAK USIA 8–10 TAHUN

The preservation of local culture faces challenges in the digital era, particularly in introducing the Trowulan carving heritage to children. This paper discusses the design of an interactive illustrated book titled “Batu Bicara” aimed at children aged 8–10 as an educational medium. The methods used include observation, interviews, literature studies, and comparative studies to formulate appropriate visual and verbal strategies. The design results show that a narrative and interactive visual approach is effective in increasing children's interest and understanding of cultural values. The conclusion indicates that interactive books hold significant potential in supporting the preservation of local culture. Recommendations focus on the integration of simple technology and the development of local content based on cultural characters.
