description The role of the street as a social place has a long tradition in urban design and planning discourses. However, with the modernisation of transportation modes, this role is challenged, as management of urban streets tends to prioritise motor vehicles and discourage pedestrian activities on the street. Despite being narrow, labyrinthine, and largely pedestrianised, streets in informal settlements are also facing a challenge from the presence of motor vehicles that are increasingly used by residents in informal settlements, yet not suited to the physical form of informal settlements. Although some might argue that motor vehicles are needed to support the living of residents, they may also alter the social life of communities that mostly takes place on streets. This paper focuses on examining the social role of the street in informal settlements in the era of motorised transport. Based on the study conducted in urban kampung in Yogyakarta, it would like to argue that despite the proliferation of motor vehicles, the use and management of streets by communities in informal settlements reflects community values that appreciate the important role of streets for their social life, in which pedestrians still take priority on the street.
