This study examines livable placemaking in transit-oriented development (TOD) areas by focusing on the performance of active frontage and community open space in two study areas: Kebayoran (within an 800 m radius of ASEAN and Blok M BCA MRT Stations) and Senen (within an 800 m radius of Pasar Senen Station). The TOD Livable Placemaking framework is constructed through a systematic review of 317 publications, which are mapped into nine livable placemaking attributes and subsequently synthesized into a relational framework of four key attributes examined in greater depth, namely connectivity & linkage, walkability & cyclability, community engagement, and health & wellbeing. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining spatial analysis of satellite imagery and street-corridor observations, measurement of active frontage and community open space indices, and user perception questionnaires. The findings indicate that Kebayoran has more integrated, greener, and more active levels of active frontage and community open space than Senen, although both locations still contain corridors with low performance. The study hypothesizes that strengthening placemaking attributes within TOD areas enhances neighborhood livability.
