Abstract

This study aims to explore the ethnomatematics of cultural preservation in Yogyakarta based on a geometry perspective. This research is important to explore information relating to ethnomatematics of cultural heritage in Yogyakarta that can be used for mathematics in junior high schools. The method used in this research is ethnography. Data collection techniques use principles in ethnography such as observation, interviews, documentation, and making field notes with the original ethnographic description. Cultural heritage in Yogyakarta that is the object of research include the Sultan's Palace, the Great Mosque of Mataram, Taman Sari Water Castle, Yogyakarta Palace Train Moseum, and Ratu Boko Temple. The results of ethnomatematics exploration in the five places can be related to triangles and rectangles, circles, and 3-dimensional shapes. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
