Relationships between land use and topographic conditions of rural landscape in West Java, Indonesia were analyzed at regional-scale. Land use was significantly correlated with landform units. The land use pattern changed along elevation primarily, and was also affected by slope. In addition, hamlet-scale analysis of landscape structure was also conducted in 3 typical rural hamlets based on field survey data The most diverse land use type was observed in the middle-elevation hamlets despite its topographic condition being similar to the highest-elevation hamlet that had a low variety of land use. In spite of simple topographic conditions, diverse land use type was also observed in the lowest-elevation hamlet.
