Popis: This study aims to investigate geometrical concepts related to ethnomathematics in Indonesia. The research design used in this study is to summarize, review, and analyze 24 papers that discussed ethnomathematics. We selected either journal articles or conference proceedings that were published in the last five years, which cover documents from 2016 to 2020, and were indexed by Scopus abstract and citation database. With the assistance of the Publish or Perish tool, we were able to compile a collection of papers to complete the task. We also used PRISMA, an evidence-based minimum set of items for reporting in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, to conduct the systematic review on geometry and ethnomathematics. The process includes determining eligibility and exclusion criteria, steps in the review process (identification, screening, and eligibility), abstraction, and data analysis. The finding suggests that several ethnic groups use geometrical concepts in their cultural lives. We can find them in traditional houses, regional dances, regional specialties, batik motifs, fabrics/weaving, temples, and mosques.
