The preservation of cultural heritage is increasingly being hit by natural destruction and as a result of social and economic conditions. The preservation of cultural heritage needs to consider the cultural significance because in practice, preservation objects are objects that have value. Along with the development of science, the object of cultural heritage does not only lead to a single building, but area based.. Cultural significance is sometimes recognized, but not integrated into the conservation management process. In conservation management, conservation principles must consider cultural significance, so that the boundaries in development are clear based on cultural significance. This study took a case in the Old Downtown Area, Bandung City. Therefore, there are two problems in this study, first, the cultural significance of Bandung City has not been identified and secondly, there is no principle of preserving cultural heritage districts by considering the cultural significance in Bandung. This study aims to formulate conservation principles based on the cultural significance in urban areas (Case study: Old Downtown Area, Bandung City). This research is an explorative research. The approach used in this research is deductive-qualitative with a single case study as strategy. The results of this study indicate that there are 3 groups of values that need to be identified in the area, namely socio-cultural values, experience values, and economic values. In determining the level of cultural significance, socio-cultural values are values that must be contained by the area. The Alun-alun and Braga Sub-areas have a high significance because they have these three values. The components seen in determining the principle of preservation are layout, use and function, circulation, streetscape, and landscape. The principles of conservation in each sub-area are grouped based on Law No.11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage, namely protection, development, and utilization.
