<![CDATA[Kota Lama as a historical tourist destination in the city of Semarang is located in a high temperature zone with a relatively low level of thermal comfort. Infrastructure improvements that began in 2018 have not been able to accommodate the needs of visitors for outdoor activities, especially climate change. One of the main indicators in knowing the relationship between climate and human activity is through perception. This study aims to determine priority strategies in the Climate Sensitive Urban Design (CSUD) approach based on landscape heritage conditions and visitor perceptions. The research method generally consists of several steps, namely: (i) primary data collection through field observations; (ii) assessment of 40 respondents using the Likert method; (iii) process the data from the assessment and observation using a qualitative descriptive method; (iv) collection of strategies based on respondents' perceptions; (v) ranking tabulation method to find out which programs are urgent to implement. The scoring results for several strategies (programs) resulted in two urgent programs to be implemented, namely the addition of passive green open space, especially on abandoned land, and the provision of communal parking lots with an integrated transportation system. This is expected to be an input for the Semarang City government in the city planning process.JEL Classification C26; I26; J15To cite this article: Kurniati, R. (2024).
