The development of Purwokerto as the capital of Banyumas Regency has led to increasing demands for urban facilities to become a place for community life activities, including economic activities. As the center of the commercial area for trade and services, Pasar Wage has a significant influence on the economic growth of the city of Purwokerto. However, with the high intensity of activities in the Pasar Wage area, several problems were found which indicated a decreased level of livability, such as garbage accumulation, traffic jams, misuse of land, and poor quality of the environment and infrastructure. In ideal conditions, commercial public spaces should provide adequate space for the users since it contains important facilities that encourage livability in urban areas. By examining the conditions of the built physical environment and the occurring phenomena, solutions are needed to improve livability conditions in this area.

The analysis method is carried out using an assessment/skoring technique between existing conditions and standard livability concept theory. This research aims to identify the level of livability and the components influencing livability in the existing conditions of the Pasar Wage area, as well as to provide appropriate design strategies in the arrangement that implement the concept of livability in the Pasar Wage area.
