Abstract: This study explores the rapid development of tourism along Malioboro Street in Yogyakarta, a key symbol of the city's culture and tourism. It aims to identify various tourism spaces and examine how their physical and spatial elements contribute to authentic and engaging visitor experiences. Using qualitative grounded theory, the research employs typomorphological, spatial, and social analyses, along with place-centered mapping, to produce a comprehensive mapping of 13 distinct tourism space types across five landscape typomorphologies. The findings highlight architectural and infrastructural elements vital for preservation and development. Based on these insights, the study offers recommendations for city planners and tourism managers to create balanced, sustainable strategies that respect local culture, heritage, and environmental characteristics. Ultimately, the research supports sustainable tourism growth that benefits the economy while fostering meaningful interactions between visitors and the local community, strengthening Yogyakarta’s cultural integrity.
