| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to explain the background to the establishment of the Ulos
Sianipar Gallery in the city of Medan, the development of the Ulos Sianipar Gallery
from 1993-2015, and the contribution of the Ulos Sianipar Gallery to Small and
Medium Enterprises (UKM). The research method used is the historical research
method which consists of five stages including topic selection, heuristics (data
collection), verification (source criticism), interpretation (interpretation) and
historiography (history writing). Data was collected through library research and
field studies, namely conducting interviews with gallery owners, gallery managers,
gallery factory foremen, as well as those related to the Ulos Sianipar Gallery as a
research location and in the form of books, journals, theses, dissertations and so
on, which can be helped in this research. The research results show that the Ulos
Sianipar Gallery in the city of Medan was founded based on the desire to continue
the business of the gallery owner's parents, driven by the strategic location of the
city of Medan with the majority of Batak and Karo ethnic groups. During its
development from 1993-2015, this gallery also faced several obstacles, one of
which was the monetary crisis. However, with consistent efforts, the Ulos Sianipar
Gallery succeeded in developing and contributing to UKM by opening
collaborations with several UKM. | en_US |
