AbstractKeraton Kanoman is an important building in the history of Cirebon city. Keraton Kanoman was built on 1678, where it was intended as a government building and a key point of the spreading of Islam in Sunda regions. The territory of Keraton Kanoman is strengthened by the presence of Kanoman Mosque in the west side of the keraton, also the presence of Kanoman Market Centre in the east side, while in the north side of the keraton lies the city square or alun-alun. There’s a residential area built surrounding Keraton Kanoman. The residential area was inhabited by the royal family as well as their servant or abdi dalem, this residential area was dubbed magersari. Magersari serves a purpose to the keraton, it is to be used as a barrier that protects the keraton from invaders and to exist as a marker that defines the keraton’s territorial area. Magersari was built in a 100 meters radius around the keraton.In the year of 1924, the Dutch colonial built a huge market place on the north side of keraton, continuing Pasar Kanoman in the east side. This development was done in order to lessen the influence of Keraton Kanoman to the locals and to deface its existence to the surrounding buildings. The new Pasar Kanoman was equipped with a movie theatre so the locals would go to the movies instead of joining the hearings in the keraton. The new Pasar Kanoman was so massive and tall in scale compared to Keraton Kanoman. Pasar Kanoman blocks the keraton entirely from the front side, hiding the keraton from the main roads and inhibiting its main access. Because of the growth that happened to the commercial area, the residential area also grew accordingly. The residential area used to be inhabited only by the royal family and their servants, but in the 1970s the settlements grew exponentially and was inhabited by outsiders.The new Pasar Kanoman and also the uncontrollable growth of the residential area invades the territory of Keraton Kanoman and thus, diminish its existence and hides it from the main roads. This invasion towards the territory of keraton takes shape in the change of land functions and activity.The purpose of this study Is to find out the territorial system of Keraton Kanoman in the existing physical order of the research location. The territorial system is studied by the types of territory and activites which occurs in the Kanoman region.This study uses descriptive method with place centered mapping technique. The data used was gathered by studying literatures of Keraton Kanoman’s history, building mapping on the site, and from interviews with the royal family and some of their servants. From analyzing the data based on the theory that is used to define territory, the results stated that there’s hierarchy order of territory, ranging from peripheral territory to central territory that holds the highest hierarchy. The central territory resides within the keraton building complex, while the peripheral lies within Keraton Kanoman’s jurisdiction. But there’s a lack of keraton’s existence and markings in the main road and access towards the keraton main ground, where there should be clear markings and indications that it is a part of Keraton Kanoman’s territory.This was caused by the massive growth on the commercial area and the new Pasar Kanoman building which was built on the north side of Keraton Kanoman.
