The term of morphology is widely used to describe the physical form of urban areas based on the historical city. The salt factory former heritage area in Kalianget is a modern industry that was built as the salt briquette factory area during the colonial period in 1899. This study aims to identify the characteristics of urban morphology in the salt factory former heritage area in Kalianget. The deductive qualitative method is used from the beginning of identifying the area problems, field survey and data analysis. This study uses the urban design theory by Roger Trancik. The urban design theory identifies morphology through figure ground analysis, linkage theory, and place theory. The study shows the land was dominated by the factory area in 1947 and has been dominated by the residence and abandoned buildings nowdays. Moreover, the road structure is formed with a grid pattern with the intersections between roads and dominated by T-junction. The center of the salt factory former heritage area in Kalianget is an open space in the middle of the area characterized by the plots building. It closes to the open spaces and the main road has the larger size than the next layer
