<![CDATA[The use of pedestrian facilities by microenterprises presents a public-space planning challenge, particularly when business needs intersect with pedestrians’ rights to safe, comfortable, and accessible movement. This study aims to identify existing patterns of pedestrian facility use by microenterprises, examine the implications for pedestrian functions, evaluate spatial management policies, and formulate context-sensitive spatial planning strategies. The research was conducted along Jalan Kuningan Barat I, Kuningan Barat Urban Village, Mampang Prapatan District, South Jakarta, from April to June 2026. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining field observations, interviews, questionnaires administered to 100 respondents, including 30 microenterprise operators, and document analysis. The data were examined through descriptive, spatial, respondent perception, policy evaluation, and SWOT analyses. The findings indicate that microenterprise activities contribute to the local economy; however, their use of pedestrian space for trading is also associated with reduced walking space and lower levels of comfort, safety, accessibility, and public-space quality. The SWOT analysis places the proposed strategy in Quadrant I, providing a basis for proactive planning measures. The recommended strategies include designating appropriate vending zones, regulating operating hours, implementing adaptive pedestrian design, integrating pedestrian facilities with public transportation, applying geographic information systems, strengthening inter-agency coordination, and expanding community participation. The findings emphasize that an economically advantageous location is not necessarily suitable for commercial activities across the entire pedestrian facility. Spatial allocation should instead reflect the physical capacity of the corridor and the movement needs of pedestrians. This approach can help accommodate microenterprise activities while safeguarding the primary function of pedestrian facilities as accessible public spaces.]]>
