Abstract: Imageability quality is part of the urban design quality indicator related to perceptual dimension. This study aims to assess the imageability quality of a traditional street as part of the assessment of urban spaces in Indonesia through visual observation, physical mapping and in-depth interviews. The result indicated that street image was not only related to the physical elements but also to activities, socio-cultural attributes and meaning. However, some issues arose such as conservation of old buildings. It is important that street revitalisation and development should address the importance of the existence of the street as a public space and as an engine of societal exchange so that the image and identity of Pecinan street can be enhanced for all of its stakeholders in the future.
