Abstract
Chinatown is a residential area by Chinese people or Chinese descent. A part from being
a place to live and trade, the region also has elements of Chinese it self. Chinatown area
of the city of Surabaya is a historic district that still keep good fortune in terms of
architectural, cultural, social and Surabaya Chinese community. But now, Surabaya
Chinatown better known by the public as a commercial district. This is unfortunate,
considering the number of Chinese elements in the Chinatown area is already attached
and can blend in with Surabaya less known by the general public, and even by the natives
the next generation of Chinese society it self. Observations, in-depth interviews, and the
study of literature is the method used to formulate the problem and find solutions to these
problems. Etnofotografi book is one medium that is hoped will be able to provide
information to the public regarding the Chinese culture in Chinatown in Surabaya, which
form a collection of photography
