Authors designed aguestionnaire based on the framework as the tool for data collection and then analyzed it using statisticaprocedures. Authors utilized the evaluation method with the case study of the city of Bandar Lampung in Indonesia. The questionnaire was distributed to 189 respondents directly and via online form. The results was then analyzed and compared with the results from the previous case study.
