Rapid urbanization and global population growth projections until 2050 indicate a significant increase in urban population, particularly in Asia. Global cities face challenges like dense settlements, limited infrastructure, and environmental issues. In this context, the concept of a "livable city" becomes crucial to meet the needs of habitable cities. Bandar Lampung, an average-tier city in the Indonesia Most Livable City Index 2022, urgently needs to enhance its livability as a National Activity Center. This research is motivated by the need to overcome the lack of subjective strategies and indicators in assessing the livability of Bandar Lampung City. Furthermore, there is a limited number of studies that consider secondary data to evaluate the quality of livability. This research aims to formulate strategies to enhance the livability of Bandar Lampung as a solution to achieving a livable city. The study employs a mixed-method approach with quantitative descriptive analysis and qualitative descriptive analysis (GAP analysis). The livability indicators in this study consist of 54 indicators divided into 13 aspects. Based on the measurement results, only 33,33% of the livability indicators in Bandar Lampung meet the standards, with only 4 aspects (housing, food security, education, and worship) being achieved. To improve the livability quality of Bandar Lampung, attention should be focused on key aspects. Firstly, improvements are needed in open spaces, culture, and sports. Additionally, it is crucial to address waste, energy, and telecommunication aspects. Furthermore, enhancements in transportation and urban planning are necessary. Simultaneously, priority should be given to improving the aspects of environmental, health, population, clean water, and social conditions. A holistic effort is required to enhance the overall livability of Bandar Lampung.
