This paper proposes a method to evaluate a performance of pedestrian facilities in the form of a pedestrian index by incorporating pedestrian responses. It considers the traffic and tourism function of streets in a tourism area. The index uses the 5-star rating, where the higher number of stars, the better the quality of a particular pedestrian facility. The method had been applied to assess selected streets in Melaka World Heritage Site, Malaysia. The results show: (1) for tourism-related street function, it can be interpreted as a good streets environment that is a comfort, convenience, attractive and enjoyable to walk which satisfy all pedestrians' needs. (2) for traffic-related street function, the streets have good pedestrian facilities that are safe, secure and barrier-free which satisfy all pedestrians' needs. (3) for the overall index, four stars rating had been achieved, which means high pedestrian satisfaction on both traffic-related and tourism-related street functions.
