Abstract

The Jeron Benteng area as a strategic area in the center of Yogyakarta is a vital part of developing the city’s identity and performance in increasing interest in social, cultural, economic, tourism, and other strategic activities. The Jeron Benteng area is currently one of the main tourist references in Yogyakarta, but besides that, this area is also a center of dense settlements. So that both internal and external activities, as they should, need to run side by side on an ongoing basis. This study aims to identify spatial connectivity in the distribution of occupant and visitor movements, as well as visual connectivity of spatial physical elements in realizing regional characteristics so that they can play an optimal role in supporting sustainable activities. As it is known that the road network is a vital component in meeting the needs of movement and realizing the spatial characteristics and identity of an area. This study uses an exploratory qualitative method in defining the results of the analysis of space syntax through the help of the DepthMapX software. The results of this paper are a description of the appropriate strategy to be applied in managing the use of space and roads in the Jeron Benteng area, Kraton, Yogyakarta in order to realize the characteristics of a more optimal cultural, historical, and tourism area.
