ABSTRACT
It has been widely realized that technology has a wide spectrum impact comprising value systems, culture and conceptual changes. Consequently, the government tries to carry out programmes of reculturization and reconstruction. The reculturization programme refers to the readiness to face the advent of the new era (millennium) with a new culture, namely the technological and industrial culture. This will give an impetus to the rise of new problems, including: first, a shift from a traditional value system to a modem one; second, a culture of technological working ethos; third, a social structure; and fourth, a means of living. Essentially, these need a basic change (restructuralization) necessarily made by the Indonesian government as well as by Asian-Pacific countries. One example worth presenting is batik.
