Pekalongan City is a cultural city that has a history of trading with several
countries during the colonial period. There are four major ethnic groups living in
Pekalongan City, which are indigenous (pribumi), Chinese ethnic groups, Arab ethnic
groups, and the Dutch government during the colonial period. The existence of these four
ethnicities in the past had a major influence on the physical characteristics and patterns
of the different settlements in each ethnicity, such as linear, grouping, and spreading by
using the theory of spatial organization of a form or pattern of an area by Francis D.K.
Ching. This study finds the pattern identifications of community settlements based on each
ethnicity that form settlements integration and to find connection of each settlement as a
whole area, featuring Sampangan Village, Sugihwaras Village, and Jetayu Area
(Europe/Colonial Area), Pekalongan City. The research analyzes the culture and habits of
different ethnic communities and how politics greatly affects the formation of these ethnic
settlement patterns, and how the communities accepted the difference to create a great
urban settlement.
