ABSTRACT

Cirebon, in the Indonesian province of West Java, is a culturally and historically significant city. The past's culture is still alive and well today. One of these is the Aboge concept of space embodiment, which is still alive and well today. The goal of this study is to describe the Aboge philosophy in the creation of a space, such as a house. The research is carried out by collecting data through field surveys. Interview activities with respondents were carried out in a snowball manner. Field observations were used to record empirical phenomena. The analytical approach employs a qualitative descriptive data collection method, followed by synthesis and conclusions. The findings demonstrate that aboge is an old philosophy that regards humans as integral members of the universe. This old aboge ideology has grown among the Cirebon people as an intangible heritage. Its evolution is passed down from generation to generation through folklore, or "getok tular," as it is known. The findings of the study indicate that the location of a house is necessary to attain harmony with its owners' energy. These findings can be utilized as evidence for the preservation of Cirebon's intangible heritage.
