The characteristics of land-use structure and land-use intensity are important aspects influencing the level of livability and environmental quality in urban areas. As one of Jakarta’s historic districts, the Glodok Area has developed with a strong mixed-use character that integrates residential, commercial, and service functions, resulting in a complex pattern of spatial utilization. This study aims to identify the characteristics of land-use structure and land-use intensity in the Glodok Area based on livability and environmentally friendly indicators. The research employed a quantitative descriptive-analytical approach through spatial identification using area maps, Google Earth, and Google Street View, which were subsequently validated through field observations. The analysis was conducted on 16 sub-areas delineated according to administrative boundaries and area characteristics. Land-use structure was evaluated using indicators of residential function compatibility, facility accessibility, and mixed-use functions, while land-use intensity was assessed using the Green Coverage Ratio (KDH), Building Coverage Ratio (KDB), and Basement Coverage Ratio (KTB). The results indicate that most sub-areas exhibit a strong mixed-use character and relatively good facility accessibility, thereby supporting intensive urban activities. However, several sub-areas demonstrate high land-use intensity, characterized by the dominance of built-up areas, limited green spaces, and reduced water infiltration areas. These findings suggest that the Glodok Area possesses a relatively favorable level of livability but continues to face challenges in achieving a more sustainable urban environment. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the management and development of urban areas based on livability and environmentally friendly principles.
