This paper examines the road lighting design practice in Indonesia’s urban kampung, which is one of the important elements that shape and define an Indonesian city. However, it appears that the current road illumination standard disregards its existence and creates regulations based on the requirements of motorist. In contrast, urban kampung roads are more intricate due to their frequent use as shared spaces. The research explains the issue by utilizing a literature review and a case study of urban kampung Siwalankerto as an illustration. Even though the placement of streetlights and the measurement of average illuminance comply with SNI standards, there is no significant correlation between the perception of safety and the quantity of light deemed adequate by residents. This finding contradicts the primary function of street illumination, which is to promote night-time safety.
