Abstract

The revitalization of historical urban corridors in Indonesia aims to improve the quality of urban life, strengthen the cultural identity of historic places, and support tourism development. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the impact of various dimensions of placemaking in the Kayutangan Corridor of Malang, Indonesia, and the types of sustainable urban experiences. With that in mind, this study employs a quantitative, explanatory approach to analyze placemaking across four dimensions: access & linkages, comfort & image, uses & activities, and sociability. The data for this study were collected through on-site surveys, and the study uses multiple regression to analyze which of the four placemaking dimensions contribute to positive visitor experiences. This study finds that the primary contributing dimensions of the visitor experience are comfort & image, uses & activities, and access & linkages. Uses & activities, along with comfort & image, are shown to be the largest contributory dimensions. On the other hand, sociability does not show a significant influence, which may be related to how physical access and social interaction are currently organized within the spatial setting. Overall, the study identifies the placemaking dimensions that most effectively enhance visitor experience in revitalized public spaces, offering insights that may be useful for future planning and management strategies.
