The analysis in this paper focuses on the effectiveness of physical land revitalization in transforming the destination image of Taman Harmoni Surabaya in order to enhance its appeal to tourists. As an urban eco-tourism area established on the former site of the Keputih Final Disposal Site (TPA), Taman Harmoni bears the challenge of a negative stigma related to its past environmental conditions. Through a descriptive qualitative approach supported by interview data, observation, and documentation, this study examines how landscape transformation is capable of reconstructing a new identity for the destination. The findings reveal that the presence of aesthetic elements such as Tabebuya trees and flower gardens plays a crucial role in erasing negative perceptions and creating a strong visual appeal for visitors. This physical optimization not only improves environmental quality but also positions Taman Harmoni as a healthy, safe, and sustainable public space. Ultimately, well-planned land transformation becomes a key factor in driving increased tourist visit volumes amid the competitive landscape of urban tourism destinations.
