Abstract

The European Zone of Surabaya’s Old Town is a heritage area with significant historical, architectural, and symbolic value for the identity of Surabaya. Following the 2024 revitalization, the area experienced improvements in its physical and visual quality; however, the relationship between spatial elements in forming the
area’s image remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the five elements of path, edge, district, node, and landmark in shaping the image of the European Zone as a heritage tourism icon. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review. The analysis used Kevin Lynch’s concepts
of imageability and legibility, together with visual character, historical value, activities, and user perceptions. The findings show that Jalan Rajawali functions as the main path, the Kalimas
River as a historical edge, the Rajawali–Internatio corridor as the core district, the areas surrounding Gedung Internatio and Taman Jayenggrono as nodes, and the Red Bridge as the primary landmark, supported by Gedung Internatio and Gedung Cerutu. The area’s image is formed as a colonial heritage corridor that combines historical character with contemporary tourism experiences, such as walking, taking photographs, and relaxing. The path–district relationship is the most influential element because it creates a sequential spatial experience and reinforces the area’s colonial atmosphere. Although the area has high imageability, its legibility as an integrated spatial network remains limited due to weak connections between its elements. Therefore, strengthening the area’s image should focus on improving spatial connectivity, clarifying boundaries, maintaining visual continuity, and integrating historical narratives. Keywords: city of image; heritage area; Lynch’s five elements; imageability; legibility.
