Cirebon is one of historic cityscapes that undergoes inevitable transformations shaped by social, political, and economic forces. Adapting to governance shifts, diachronic analysis via Geographic Information System (GIS) highlights the importance of comprehending the city evolution. This process, documenting historical elements, guides the pursuit of sustainable city life amidst morphological changes. This study utilizes GIS-based diachronic analysis to explore spatial change patterns in Cirebon City, focusing on elements and city boundaries, considering power periodization from the Cerbon Kingdom to the present. This historical research uses diachronic and synchronic analysis, documenting changes through ArcGIS 10.8 (released in 2020) software. The analysis spans four power periods: Cerbon Kingdom, VOC, Dutch colonial, and Indonesian Republic. The research findings demonstrate how the transformation of historical areas in Cirebon City unfolds through the dynamics of political power shifts within this region. This observation underscores the intricate interplay between historical evolution and political transitions. The study outcomes are envisioned to offer valuable knowledge for policy formulation and considerations by the Cirebon City Government, palace management, property owners, and infrastructure users. This information is crucial for preserving historical elements, including structures and cultural activities, fostering Cirebon’s evolution into a sustainable city aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) eleventh initiative.
