Description
Summary:A public or a great street space in a city functions as a place to meet, to gather, and to interact with each other for religious, trading, and governing purposes as well as a place to share the citizens� aspirations. Besides its traditional function as a meeting point, a public space (including open space) is also used as an identity of a city. Thus, many cities use public space as a symbol as well as its center of social interactions. Located on the corridor of Jalan Slamet Riyadi, Solo, the pedestrian way �Solo City Walk�, is supposed to represent the neighborhood character with its livable public space and great street. To optimize Solo City Walk is to relate it with the �lively act� life existed on the pedestrian way. This paper, therefore, is to evaluate the concept applied on Solo City Walk Slamet Riyadi St as an optimum project which was designed to recreate the ever-existed great public space in the past time. The project used the�concept to invite citizens to go out and to do their activities in the public space. This research uses field observation method by mapping the behavior of pedestrians and activities carried out on Slamet Riyadi street and Solo City Walk. The mapping shows several sites which have either high or low activity levels. To identify the areas� livability, the street is divided into five sections. The sections are measured approximately one kilometer and regarded to share similar criteria. The result of study gives an evaluation to the accomplishment of spread of livability applied on Solo City Walk. The section having high livability shows highly-concentrated users, various activities, and attractive functions. Accordingly, this section will be used as a guideline in optimizing other sections which are considered less-livable.
