Shophouses in the Chinatown area of Bagansiapiapi are one of the areas that intersect with a trading area that has acculturated Chinese and Malay cultures. The use of the word space in the shophouses in Bagansiapipi is to clarify the differences in the characteristics of its spatial arrangement with shophouses in general. This study uses a historical interpretation approach in looking at the characteristics of the spatial pattern found in the object of research which includes spatial planning, orientation, circulation, and relationships and hierarchies in space. The purpose of looking at these characteristics is obtained by processing and processing the spatial layout of the shophouse three typology modules in the Bagansiapiapi area, which was selected with a snowball sampling approach. Greetings, it is known that the characteristics of the spatial planning pattern in the Ruko in the Bagansiapiapi area are designed to fulfill the functionality aspect. This can be seen in the hallway that is connected between the main building and the service building. The findings found in the pattern of spatial planning in shophouses in Bagansiapiapi do not have a courtyard in the middle of the interior space, but the Altar as a sacred space is maintained with the function of a place of worship and the identity of the occupants.Keywords: Spatial Characteristics, Shophouse, Bagansiapiapi, Interpretive Historical Research ]]>
