Abstract

Ngancar Village is one of the villages in Magetan Regency that borders directly with Central Java Province, and is a village where two cultures meet, namely Jawa Timuran culture and Mataraman culture. One form of culture that is reflected in the field of architecture is residential houses that have undergone many changes in terms of form and function. Traditional Javanese residential houses, which were once quite numerous, have now begun to undergo many changes, replaced by more modern dwellings. One part of the house that is inseparable is the kitchen or in the language called pawon. This research aims to obtain a typology of pawon layout patterns in traditional Javanese houses in Ngancar Village and its influencing factors. The framework of the study approach used in this research is an observational approach and interviews in the field with qualitative analysis techniques. The results of the research related to the layout of the pawon against the omah based on the facing of the house are: 1) To the right of the omah are 8 houses, 2) To the left of the omah are 8 houses, 3) Behind the omah are 7 houses, and 4) Inside the omah are 3 houses.
