Lampung is a province on Sumatra Island, which has a variety of traditional settlement characteristics. One of the traditional settlements in Lampung is Pekon Hujung or “Ujung village”, located in Belalau District, West Lampung Regency. The houses in Pekon Hujung are still built from local wood materials and are referred to as ‘lamban’. Urban development that occurs quickly can shift the cultural values that exist in traditional settlement and its environment. Development will inevitably have an impact on the environment, both having a positive impact and a negative impact. One of the possible negative impacts is the loss of values and cultural characteristics that are unique to a traditional settlement area. This research was directed to identify the landscape elements that formed the landscape character so ita can be used to determine the right conservation actions. This research was conducted using the Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) approach to identify and to describe the elements and unique characteristics that formed the landscape. LCA method also can be used to make a significant contribution to environmental protection and sustainable development. The result shows that Pekon Hujung cultural landscape, as a traditional settlement is formed and depended on its natural resources and environment. Pekon Hujung still maintains tradition and culture in the form of settlement and the people activities.
