Abstract

Pasar Lama Tangerang area is one of the several old Chinatowns in Java Island, Indonesia which has been growing since the 16th century. This area is important to be studied due to the presence of some elements which form an urban area observed to be more or less three centuries old. The primary elements which are one of the most important aspects form the core of the city’s aggregation and main artifacts while other elements are ensuring the survival of the area and those that have changed or disappeared completely. This research is focused on discussing the problem of the surviving primary elements in the Chinatown area of Pasar Lama Tangerang to determine the factors making them sustainable. A qualitative approach was employed through descriptive and interpretative research methods and the results showed the primary elements were supported by ritual activities and cultural festivals. This study is expected to enrich the knowledge of the people on the sustainability of primary elements in an urban area with cultural heritage.
