Bina Ruang . Goal 4. Access Point Activation The current access points in the perimeter of Kampung Braga have signified the existence of the kampung but they do not stand out. Access points could improve the visibility of Kampung Braga. It becomes the first element to interconnect the urban production. 4.1 Designate the Main Access Points The current four main access points will be strengthen by designating them into different themes. Access points in Braga Street will have heritage character while those in Banceuy Street will have commercial character. Residents are also advocated to specify new main access in north and south side of kampung. 4.2 Redesign the Access Points Both main and secondary access points are encouraged to be redesigned based on the character from Goal 4.1. The priority lies on the main access points. The design process must involve the residents through public meeting or workshop. Access point in Apandi Alleyway must be carefully created because it is located in disputed land and under heritage building. Therefore, assistance from Society for Heritage Conservation and local government is needed. 4.3 Refine the Quality of Transition Zone Access point improvement includes the transition zone used as economic activity. Replacing the worn-out building material will be the priority.

4.4 Advocate for Additional Informal Sector Another priority is to advocate the private sector, in this case Gino Feruci Hotel, to open its blank wall for informal traders. It will accommodate the desire of the residents and widen the transition zone. According to Bandung Spatial Plan 20112031, private sector must provide 10% of the area for informal sector. However, the clause is vague and further assistance from local government is needed. 4.5 Involve the Media for the Opening of New Access Point Media plays pivotal roles in framing and portraying Kampung Braga to public gaze. Thus, by inviting media during the opening, more people will realise and recognise Kampung Braga. The local media or bulletin could be potentially engaged with.
