Archaeological research conducted earlier, mentioned that archaeological findings and environmental carrying capacity of this site gives an indication of the utilization aspect as the central government of the Kingdom of Bone. Although mentioning environmental conditions as one indication of aspects of site utilization, but the study does not analyze and explain contextually the environmental conditions referred. In the framework of filling the space, this study focuses on the analysis of archaeological environmental conditions located on the southern edge of the Cenrana River flow. The analysis used included community residence analysis in semi-micro scale. The results showed that the arrangement of residential space on the Cenrana Site extends from west to east. Meanwhile, the pattern of distribution of the findings is irregular and there are four divisions of space, namely: location of government, production location, residential location, and sacred location. The main factors affecting the division of space are the economic and environmental conditions that support, such as; geographical conditions, land characteristics, natural resources and accessibility.
