The Old Town area of Jakarta, as an invaluable historical trace, shows the diversity of artifacts and potential that make it a special area in North Jakarta and West Jakarta (Pinangsia, Taman Sari, and Roa Malaka). This study uses an urban landscape approach with the dimensions sense of historic solemnity, sense of community, and sense of risk to detail new resources in the development of the Old Town landscape. Research findings show that the spirit of place in the Roa Malaka area, especially through green open spaces, is the most complete area in terms of sense experience.
