Abstract
This article is the result of a study of the formation of "thematic villages" in Semarang. This research is based on historical methods, starting with heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Until now in Semarang there are 16 sub-districts, covering 177 villages with their uniqueness. Semarang faces a serious urban problem which is the limited supply of infrastructure such as clean water, sanitation, electricity, and others. In addition, health facilities, houses of worship, schools, sports and social facilities are inadequate. The Mayor of Semarang has created a program to reduce urban poverty. One of the main programs is the Thematic Village. This program is structuring the village to raise the village's potential and identity. The conclusion is that community participation and village potential in the form of culture, tradition, and local wisdom can be a capital for Thematic Village development. Thus it is hoped that the people's economy will increase.
