Tesis ini membahas upaya pelestarian batik Betawi serta faktor pendukung dan penghambatnya; cara para pelaku pelestarian mempertahankan eksistensi; dan tinjauan upaya pelestarian dari perspektif ketahanan budaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis deskriptif dan studi kasus pada sanggar batik Betawi di Jakarta Selatan. Upaya pelestarian batik Betawi dilakukan melalui dua bentuk: (1) revitalisasi, dengan cara menghidupkan pengrajin batik asli Betawi; memberikan modal peralatan dan bahan baku; memberdayakan masyarakat setempat; membentuk paguyuban pengrajin dan tempat belajar, berbagi, dan berdiskusi; membantu pemasaran; dan mendirikan koperasi; (2) rekacipta, dengan cara: recreated tradition, yaitu mempertahankan motif batik lama yang dimodifikasi dan diberi fungsi baru; dan invented tradition, yaitu menciptakan motif batik kreasi baru dan fungsi baru dengan menggali dan mengkaji khazanah suku Betawi untuk mengembangkan dan memperkaya motif. Faktor pendukung: motivasi kuat; pembinaan berkelanjutan; keterlibatan orang-orang non-Betawi; peran media massa; dukungan moril masyarakat dan pemerintah setempat; dan Peraturan Gubernur DKI Jakarta No. 209 Tahun 2012 tentang Pakaian Dinas. Faktor penghambat: keterbatasan dalam modal, SDM, lahan, dan pemasaran. Para pelaku pelestarian dapat mempertahankan eksistensi mereka karena mampu menerapkan fungsi adaptation/adaptasi, goal attainment/pencapaian tujuan, integration/integrasi, dan latent pattern maintenance/pemeliharaan pola. Ditinjau dari ketahanan budaya, upaya pelestarian batik Betawi mampu memenuhi aspek pelestarian yang dinamis dan kreatif; perwujudan identitas dan eksistensi pemilik kebudayaan; serta edukasi, sosial, dan ekonomi, yang dapat mendukung ketahanan budaya.
