Abstract


Kampung Pelangi (Lembur Katumbiri) in Bandung represents a prototype of an urban village that has transformed into a creative district through improvements in spatial quality and pedestrian connectivity. This study aims to analyze how linkage structures shape visitors’ spatial experiences along the Gang Haji Ahom corridor as the main access route to the area. Using Roger Trancik’s Linkage Theory (1986), the research examines spatial connectivity through the elements of paths, nodes, and edges, as well as the role of physical features such as wayfinding signage, paving patterns, and residents’ social activities.  The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, conducted through field observations and semi-structured interviews with 25 respondents consisting of visitors and local residents. The findings indicate that Gang Haji Ahom functions as a clear and legible connecting corridor, where visual continuity and social activities contribute to pedestrian orientation and comfort. A significant finding of this study reveals the role of social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, as an informal navigation system (digital linkage) that compensates for the limitations of physical wayfinding signage in the area. This study recommends integrating improvements in physical facilities with digital information management to optimize accessibility and enhance the attractiveness of creative urban village areas.
