This study evaluates the spatial-physical alignment of the Glodok Urban Corridor against Building and Environmental Plan (RTBL) standards, focusing on building forms and pedestrian circulation networks. A comparative evaluation matrix was applied across 16 sub-areas to examine regulatory deviations and their impacts on urban heritage and pedestrian safety. The findings reveal massive, systemic violations of building setbacks within the interior core, driven by organic, self-built structures encroaching upon the public right-of-way and air rights. This encroachment causes severe vertical scale friction and degrades the architectural identity of historic Chinese Pecinan vernacular facades. At the macro scale, the corridor exhibits high transit-oriented development potential. However, micro-connectivity is functionally paralyzed by severe side friction, including illegal on-street parking, logistics conflicts, and total pedestrian displacement by traditional market stalls. Furthermore, the complete absence of segregated walkways and universal design features forces vulnerable users into hazardous shared spaces within narrow alleys. Consequently, this study proposes integrated policy interventions, including incentive zoning for public arcades, time-sharing logistics management, and strict architectural design guidelines to restore pedestrian rights and prevent spatial paralysis.
