As streets are essential public open space of a city, designing a good street is important to produce a street with great character in the city.

The data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Subsequently, quantitative data collection involving questionnaire survey (n=330) were carried out and analyzed statistically. The concluding result was determined through triangulation of all data and subsequently to relate with the established theories. The findings indicate that the uniqueness of traditional street can be characterized into three components, namely, building, landscape and street pattern where each component encompasses its own appearance and function.
