These problems are related to the construction of settlements that are not in harmony with their environmental ecosystem. Based on these issues, ecological architecture is one of the architectural sciences that can be applied in planning and designing residential areas. This research was conducted with the aim of understanding and identifying the application of the principles of ecological architecture in a settlement. The research method used is descriptive qualitative method with primary data in the form of interview-related interviewees and secondary data in the form of literature studies.
