Although some peoplehave attempted to reserve the existence of those traditional transport, such as the cow cartcommunity, traditional bicycle community, and still many others, the reservation has to be takenmore seriously in order that the young generation have the sense of belonging. They have to beproud of the fact that the ancestors already had such traditional transports.The data concerning the traditional transports was collected from the regions inYogyakarta which still reserve the artifacts. Only few are operated, while most of them arereserved in such museums as the Royal Museum of Yogyakarta. The ancient Royal Palace usedto operate their classic carts for royal events. The carts had different functions, performances,and esthetics. They also symbolize different historical meanings. The parts of the carts have highesthetic value and craftsmanship. The decoration is sophisticated and can be transformed intovisualized works for further reservation.To reserve the historical artifacts and parts with their artistic value, they are put into themotif of batik in Yogyakarta.
