This research aims to measure the level of COVID-19 spread susceptibility based on the urban density variables. There are four urban density variables used in this research namely density, intensity, built-up area, and mass activity or public facilities. Three steps have taken to achieve this objective, are: (i)formulating variables and criteria of an urban density; (ii) measuring the level of COVID-19 spread susceptibility based on the criterion in every variable; and (iii) measuring the level of COVID-19 spread susceptibility in an urban area. An urban density observation can help the local government to determine focused priority areas based on the highest exposure and contagion risk, along with what actions are taken (Lall & Wahba, 2020). This research takes Cirebon City core urban area for the case study, which located in SWK II Cirebon City. Cirebon City become activities and services center for PKN Cirebon Raya Metropolitan Area and Ciayumajakuning developmental area. While SWK II is defined as the main urban area in Cirebon. This main urban area has the role of Urban Services Core (locally called PPK) with the primary function of trade and services that caters to a city-wide scale. Aside from being a PPK of Cirebon City, SWK II represents Cirebon in portraying its role as the core of WP Ciayumajakuning.

COVID-19 has become a global concern due to its outbreak in early 2020. Not much is known yet about this disease so the only viable acts against it is prevention. Lall and Wahba (2020) exclaimed that prevention acts need to be done to slow the transmission and avoid the use of any limited health resources. The disease spread prevention can also be done by limiting mass activities and congested use of public spaces. Distancing acts and mass activities are closely linked to the internal condition of a city. This situation closely related to the internal density of an area on a close scope (Pafka, 2020).
