Abstract Urban Kampongs are a typical settlement characterized by high density and poor infrastructure facilities in many developing countries, including Indonesia. The inhabitants are known to have strong social cohesion and kindship. In Semarang, the kampongs are widely spread in city centers. Located in the city hotspot, its existence is threatened, replaced by various commercial and modern urban activities. On the other hand, the increasingly massive development of the city offers opportunities to further strengthen the existence of urban kampong through strengthening the MSMEs, promoting the city with more locally based economic activities. Accordingly, sufficient comprehension of the kampong characteristics is needed mainly to maintain sustainability landscape and cultural urban kampong. This research aims to examine the typology of MSME-based urban kampongs in Semarang City. Overlay and density analyses are used to determine the location of MSME-based urban kampongs, while descriptive analysis is used to further explore the typology, which is linked to MSME activities in production and location aspects. The research results show three typologies of MSMEs-based urban kampongs in Semarang City: 1) Culinary kampongs, 2) Warungan kampongs, and 3) Groceries kampongs. These typologies can provide a better understanding of promoting the sustainability of urban kampongs and cultural landscapes.
