Pengembangan kawasan Stasiun Lempuyangan sebagai simpul transportasi strategis di Kota Yogyakarta menghadapi tantangan berupa ketimpangan spasial antara sisi utara dan selatan stasiun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja kawasan tersebut dalam kerangka Transit Oriented Development (TOD) dengan mengintegrasikan konsep urban vibrancy. Menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods (kuantitatif spasial dan interpretasi kualitatif) dengan node-place model sebagai alat diagnostik, unit analisis grid 100×100 meter dalam buffer 400 meter, serta Weighted Multi-Criteria Assessment (WMCA) equal weight, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kawasan studi terklasifikasi sebagai unbalanced node dengan indeks node 0,80 dan indeks place 0,44. Nilai vibrancy komposit berbobot luas hanya mencapai 0,31, dengan distribusi spasial yang terfragmentasi yakni 11,53% vibrant, 52,97% potential vibrancy, dan 35,5% border vacuums, tanpa satupun grid berkategori very high. Fenomena strong node × uneven vibrancy mengungkap bahwa vibrancy di kawasan ini bersifat flow-induced (transien), bergantung pada arus pergerakan transit. Hubungan antara indeks place dan vibrancy ditemukan tidak linear, dimana area dengan place tinggi tidak selalu menghasilkan vibrancy yang tinggi. Kelemahan struktural utama terletak pada sangat rendahnya number of worker dan number of resident di sebagian besar grid, yang mengakibatkan tidak terjadinya pergantian siklus aktivitas siang-malam di kawasan TOD. Strategi intervensi diarahkan pada transformasi dari flow-induced menuju stabilized vibrancy melalui tiga strategi utama, yaitu place strengthening & functional mix as leverage, flow & movement activation, serta temporal & spatial continuity.

The development of Lempuyangan Station as a strategic transportation hub in Yogyakarta City faces challenges in the form of spatial imbalances between the northern and southern sides of the station. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the area within a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) framework by integrating the concept of urban vibrancy. Using a mixed-methods approach (spatial quantitative analysis and qualitative interpretation) with the node–place model as a diagnostic tool, a 100×100 meter grid as the unit of analysis within a 400-meter buffer, and an equal-weight Weighted Multi-Criteria Assessment (WMCA), the study finds that the study area is classified as an unbalanced node, with a node index of 0.80 and a place index of 0.44. The weighted composite vibrancy value reaches only 0.31, with a fragmented spatial distribution: 11.53% vibrant, 52.97% potential vibrancy, and 35.5% border vacuums, and no grids classified as very high. The phenomenon of a strong node × uneven vibrancy indicates that vibrancy in the area is flow-induced (transient), dependent on transit movement flows. The relationship between the place index and vibrancy is found to be non-linear, where areas with high place values do not necessarily produce high vibrancy. The main structural weakness lies in the very low number of workers and residents across most grids, preventing the establishment of a day–night activity cycle in the TOD area. Intervention strategies are directed toward transforming flow-induced vibrancy into stabilized vibrancy through three main strategies: place strengthening & functional mix as leverage, flow & movement activation, and temporal & spatial continuity.
