Abstract

This study discusses the application of a Sundanese cosmology called tritangtu in the arrangement of the city of Cianjur. Tritangtu is a concept of the existence of a universal triple pattern in all aspects of human life, where the focus of this discussion is tritangtu in the world or "three patterns in the world". Research on the continuation of urban planning from the Hindu-Buddhist period to the Islamic-Colonial period has basically never been done, so that is the novelty aspect of this research. The research steps used in answering the formulation of the research problem include data collection, analysis, interpretation. Based on the research conducted in this study, the city of Cianjur has applied two cosmological concepts at two levels, namely micro and macro. At the micro level, which includes the city center, it is arranged according to the cosmological rules of Islamic cities in Java. The spatial arrangement seen in the city of Cianjur at the macro level is known to follow the rules of the tritangtu concept.
