Streets are one ofl the components in urbanl environments that serve as public spaces. Streets are accessible open areas for the community. Besides serving as transportation routes, streets also function as social spaces that reflect the life andl identity ofl the lcity. The presencel of public open spaces isl crucial forl improving thel quality ofl life andl driving urban economies. The Gatot Subroto Street Corridor, often a focal point of nightlife, reflects Surakarta City's identity as a nightlife destination. However, the utilization of public open spaces in the area is still suboptimal, thus requiring development to maximize the function of streets as public open spaces while meeting pedestrian needs. Thisl research aimsl to evaluatel the qualityl of publicl open spaces in thel Gatot Subroto Street Corridor of Surakarta City, with hopes to servel as al basis forl further ldevelopment. The first research objective is to identifyl the physical characteristics ofl public openl spaces in thel corridor. The research findings indicate deficiencies in street facilities, deteriorated sidewalk conditions, and a lack of specific markings for pedestrians. The second research objective is to evaluate the patterns of activity in using the open street space in the corridor. The results show that vehicle traffic tends to be congested, especially during evenings and weekends, although the street service level is considered good on both weekdays and weekends.
