This research aims to explain the development of slum organizations in Cirebon City during the colonial period (1906-1942). This research is motivated by the lack of research on organizations in Cirebon during the colonial period. The method used is the historical method with four stages of work, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The sources used in this research consist of primary and secondary sources. The approach used is a political approach with the environmental ethics theory of anthropocentrism and the concept of slum organizations. The research results show that Cirebon was a dirty city in the 19th century due to the population explosion and the implementation of segregation. restructuring efforts emerged since Cirebon's status was elevated to Gemeente (municipality) in 1906. It peaked in 1927 and 1938 with the construction of public housing in Kesunean and Pasar Pagi as well as a model village in Pekiringan. However, in practice organizational improvements do not always receive a positive response, for example hundreds of indigenous houses were destroyed without being rebuilt. Nevertheless, this arrangement succeeded in improving organizational conditions in the city and creating a society that was aware of hygiene.
