Abstract
The existence of a brand becomes essential in building the identity of a product or service of an institution. One form of a brand strategy used to support the increasing number of tourist destinations is place branding. This branding strategy can also be implemented to support the aspects of regional development. The expected aim is to provide a positive image and reputation for the development progress that is being carried out by the regional government. Purwakarta Regency is one of the districts that is active in the development process based on a Sundanese cultural character, which has been initiated and carried out since the leadership of Regent Dedi Mulyadi until now. It is conducted to translate the vision and mission of the district government. This research uses a quantitative method with questionnaires as the data collection instrument. The results show that the community considers that Purwakarta Regency’s development has shown regional identity that can have a positive impact on Purwakarta regency. It is indicated by the presence and characteristics of Sundanese in the pattern of development in infrastructure and mental character within the Purwakarta district government environment. The conclusions in this study indicate that as many as 52% of the respondents state that Purwakarta regency has a unique place branding characteristic that characterizes a strong Sundanese so that it receives a positive response from the community.
