Variations of wangsalan patterns and structures, as well as the heuristic and hermeneutic cakepan translations, are gathered through Serat Rerepen. Wangsalan in Serat Rerepen is a symbol discovered by Mangkunegara IV (fourth ruler of Mangkunegaran Palace). The cakepan portrays role, nature, and environment as images. The elements contained in wangsalan are oriented to flora and fauna. In this research, Wangsalan in Serat Rerepen is analyzed through semo-ecocritical studies in terms of significance and meaning. According to this, the problems in this research are how the pattern and structure of wangsalan in gending (song), what are the sources, heuristic, and hermeneutic readings of wangsalan in Serat Rerepen by Mangkunegara IV through semio-ecocritical approach, and the role of wangsalan in Javanese daily life and its implication in art education. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach by analyzing the content of the cakepan/lyrics of Serat Rerepan by Mangkunegara IV, which consists of four forms of tembang (vocal song), Pangkur, Dhandhanggula, Sinom, and Pocung. Tembang which is specifically chosen to be the study material is Sinom. The steps taken are the data collection stage by listening, note taking, and data analysis technique with heuristic reading. The data analysis stage consists of hermeneutic reading, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this research are: 1) The pattern and structure of wangsalan are restricted by the number of lines and syllables, also rhyme pattern, 2) The sources of wangsalan consist of oral and written forms with heuristic reading that contains denotative translations; while according to the semio-ecocritical approach, wangsalan in Serat Rerepan is read with connotative meaning, and 3) Wangsalan is a medium of communication that can contribute to the preservation and development of knowledge in education.
