Abstract
The quality of the urban environment is one of the important aspects to be researched in a developing country. The city of Bandung is growing and expanding beyond capacities without a city plan. This has led to the emergence of many urban village. The growth of urban village with lower middle economic level causes these settlements to have low environmental quality. Tamansari is one part of the urban environment that experiences this phenomenon, which is triggered by the large number of residential employees and students.The purpose of this study was to determine the environmental quality of the urban village (Kampong Tamansari) based on walkability. The method used in this research is a quantitative approach using Urban Network Analysis, a toolbox from ArcGIS that can quantitatively measure how the design of an environment affects access to spatial and amenitic spaces and contributes to the flow of pedestrian movements in urban area. From here, five types of network centrality measures will be formulated on a spatial network including Reach, Gravity Index, Betweenness, Closeness and Straightness. The results show that the Tamansari area in the south of the Pasopati Flyover is more walkable than in the northern part. The northern part is more difficult to access due to the lack of openness of the area’s road network to the main roads.
