ABSTRACT

Javanese Weton is a particular calculation used for mate selection based on numerical values in Javanese customs or traditions. As local wisdom, Javanese Weton needs to be preserved because it reflects the Javanese way of life regarding the relationship between humans and natural phenomena with all their regularities. However, the rapid development of technology is unavoidable and causes changes in social behavior. Hence, this study aims at Javanese Weton in the possibility of developing a matchmaking application, not only easy to use by anyone but also creates a new medium that is invasive, likable, and helps create understanding and interest in Javanese culture of global audiences. This study uses a qualitative descriptive methodology with an emphasis on interviews and social phenomena. This research is expected to maintain Javanese Weton following the laws governing, maintaining, and promoting traditional culture in Indonesia.
