Sustainable streetscape is one of the strategies in improving road corridors by considering the needs of road users in the future, related to movement, environment and activities. There are four main principles that need to be considered in a sustainable streetscape, those related to urban, social, economic and environmental. As a result, more and more cities are looking to change the way they design their streetscapes with sustainability to comply the needs of road users. The Syekh Datul Kahfi road Corridor as a commercial corridor in the Sentra Trusmi Batik area has poor physical and environmental qualities so that it has an impact on the socioeconomic aspects of the area, as a result the movement of pedestrians and vehicle stalled, passive and unattractive. The corridor is vital because it is a source of income for the surrounding area as an accommodator for tourists and local visitors, therefore it is necessary to treat the Syekh Datul Kahfi road corridor to support the vitality of the area. In this context, the research aims to design the Syekh Datul Kahfi road corridor in Cirebon into a comfortable and lively commercial corridor through the principles and concepts of sustainable streetscape as a way to activate the road corridor as a public space that includes a road corridor as a connector and as a place. The method used in the design is the synoptic method which begins with direct observations to understand the physical and non-physical qualities of the Syekh Datul Kahfi road corridor, then analysing the results of data collection, to describe alternative concepts and design simulations. There are deliberations related to the needs of road users in the future, it is necessary to involve road users and business owners to find out perceptions and preferences on Sheikh Datul Kahfi road corridor through a questionnaire that generates potential and problems. Respondents involved consisted of 8 business owners and 26 road users randomly. To make the streetscape of the Syekh Datul Kahfi road corridor sustainable, active, attractive and able to raise the socio-economic aspects of the area, it is necessary to improve the quality of the area comprehensively by deliberating the criteria and components formed through the design principles consisting of accessibility, parking, security, comfort. , outdoor space as a public space, and the environment, so that the movement of vehicles and people activity becomes running well, road corridors become active and can accommodate a variety of activities. With a good and well-planned physical quality of the road, the quality of the area will be better and there will be more visitors, so as to improve the socio-economic aspects of the design area.
