Abstract
This paper analyses the influence of Balinese Hindu principle on the urban formation of Gianyar, one of the traditional towns founded in 18th century in Bali Island. Even though Balinese towns and villages have common house compounds as a fundamental unit, the structure of the settlements make several significant differences between towns and villages. In contrast with the linear composition of villages, urban structure of Gianyar rather has its focus in the center of the town. The analysis on caste distribution also illustrates the importance of the center. The emergence of urban blocks in Gianyar brought about several plot division patterns as opposed to the simple back-to-back plot division in the villages. However the analysis has revealed that the variety of plot division patterns in Gianyar is regulated by the sole principle i.e. the avoidance of building the gate for each house compound toward the north direction. The well-known Balinese cosmological concept of Nawasanga not only influences the planning of the house compound but also the urban formation.
