Creative • Industry • Economic • Growth
The Creative Industry is one of the most influential economic sources in the world in the era of 2000. Introduced by where economic growth depends on creative and innovative ideas [1]. The answer to this concept relates to industrial-based economics and has shifted from industrial (manufacturing) economics to creative economy (intellectuals as a major asset). Meanwhile, creative industries play an important role in the economic growth of a country. Broader creative ideas for the creative industries and other sectors can be part of a wider production process contributed to the importance of creative industries not only limited to economic values, but also as key carriers of cultural traditions, moral values, world views, ideological assumptions and ideas [2,3]. In line with this in the UN Report, 2013 found that: Creative economy is the main ingredient for job creation, innovation and trade contribute to social inclusion, cultural diversity and environmental sustainability [4]. The importance of the creative economy become the concern of various parties, because it needs to be well organized, fostered and continuously developed for the stakeholders and the surrounding community.
In Indonesia has seriously paid attention to the creative industries sector, since Joko Widodo became President of the Republic of Indonesia, the creative economy has developed more by forming a creative economic body (Bekraf). Now, the creative economy is one of the new economic sources promoted by the Government of Indonesia where the creative economy sector is owned by every province of Indonesia, Including Banten province.
Here states that the creative economy has a very important role in boosting the economy, has the opportunity to increase economic growth public welfare, opening new jobs and reducing unemployment. For this reason, this research is focused on the profile of the creative economy in the city of South Tangerang which includes the handicraft sector. For this reason, the problem that is further examined is: How to description of the creative and innovative industries sector craff in the South Tangerang Banten province Indonesia [5].
United Kingdom (United Kingdom, 2011 at UNCTAD, 2010) defines "Creative industries" as industries that require creativity, skills and talents, with wealth potential and job creation through the exploitation of intellectual property. Provides a definition of employment from creative industries as areas of social and economic activity established in - or closely allied with intellectual or artistic intellectuals, innovation and originality/conservation, teaching and celebrating cultural heritage, as well as language and which have the ability to offer jobs and generate income for original creators and also for others involved in education and training, production, distribution, documentation and support for creative products or cultural experiences, either in a non-profit capacity or for commercial gain. The concept of creative economy has emerged as a means of focusing attention on the role of creativity as a force in contemporary economic life, which states that economic and cultural development are not separate but can be part of a larger development process. Not only in developed countries, this concept can currently be applied in developing countries. This policy is part of the offering of economic policy and provides new economic opportunities in these countries to encourage and accelerate economic growth in emerging regions with high growth equal to economic growth in developed countries.
In many studies, the terms creativity and innovation are often exchanged. Even though creativity and innovation have different meanings. Basically, creativity is the ability to create or present something new whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or an object of new artistic form. While innovation is defined as adding something new to an existing product or process. Creativity is the starting point for innovation or innovation is the inculcation of creative inspiration [6]. Creativity, in other words, is the process through which new ideas are generated, while innovation is the process through which they are implemented [7].
Survey and methodology
This research was carried out through a survey of the creative industries in the handicraft sector in southern Tangerang. Data collection uses direct observation in the field and literature review. To complete this research. Direct observation through interviews and data collection in the field, while literature reviews are data derived from the results of research/studies, books, scientific journals and articles, actions, and document support. This research was conducted throughout 2019 in three cities in southern Tangerang, Banten Province. representing creative cities in Indonesia. To understand this study easily, we propose an analytical framework that is combined from several concepts of creativity, innovation, regional innovation systems, economics and policy (Figure 1). Practically in Indonesia, the creative sector is closed to the innovation sector which both support the national economy in different ways. Although, both of them provide new strategies to increase people's income, to expand employment opportunities, open access, and increase added value. In the end, the creative economy and innovation in certain areas aim to improve human welfare, not only to satisfy academic interests. Of course, the regional innovation system must be bound by the creative economy SMEs craft initiated by the local community and local government [8,9].

Resources and potential of south tangerang city: South Tangerang City has all kinds of potentials and opportunities that can be developed. Including Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is a business that is widely spread in Indonesia. In South Tangerang City, there are about five types of SMEs or handicraft industries which include 165 units of wood crafts, 28 units of woven, 1 unit of pottery, 293 units of fabric and 164 units of food.

The role of government and stakeholders: The local government had issued a policy, namely giving away land certificates and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) brands to 50 SMEs in the City of South Tangerang. This policy is very helpful for SMEs to get easy access to business capital or business credit from banks. Sustainability policies are needed so that the program does not stop in the middle of the road. Given the undeveloped potential of SMES, business management and administration as well as continuity of supply of raw materials.
The involvement of stakeholders and forums of business actors is needed to enhance the development of MSMEs. In addition, the exhibition of product results can increase sales levels by 15%-20% as felt by some SMEs when marketing their products in a series of exhibitions such as at HARKOPDA, displaying a variety of creative products in the local area.
Together with the strong leadership power as well as a driver for the movement of creativity, product readiness, supported by the readiness of basic material inventory, all factors are based on good and healthy management; this certainly can be expected to be the basis for being developed and developing.
