Environmentally friendly photo road modeling in Tasikmalaya city to improve urban transportation framework

Abstract

The development of a region can be seen from population growth and a high average growth rate, which has implications for socio-economic activities, infrastructure and other physical buildings that are increasingly complex. To accommodate all these activities, space is needed as a place of activity. The road infrastructure sector is one of the arteries in the region’s economic growth, so the accuracy of its provision through the amount of investment is very important. This will not cause a bottleneck in the flow of goods / services and people at regional, national and even international levels which causes lower economic and social costs. Even so, in Tasikmalaya City, the road problems at this time have shown serious problems, especially on the main roads, traffic jams often occur, not only due to the increasing number of vehicles, but due to the non-functioning of the sidewalk as a place to walk because some sidewalks are used to sell street vendors, while walking is a tool for internal movement of the city, the only tool to meet the needs of face-to-face interactions that exist in commercial and cultural activities in urban life. This study will examine whether the sidewalk functions in accordance with existing regulations, and whether the sidewalk design has fulfilled the requirements of safety, fun, comfort, and has an appeal. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. Data obtained through direct observation in the field. Observations were made on the location of the main road that many pedestrians traversed such as the Jl. Martadinata, Jl. Doctor Sukardjo, and Jl. H. Mustopa arrived at Padayungan intersection. The analytical method uses descriptive qualitative with the planning model. Stages of analysis are drainage channel analysis, analysis of the physical condition of the sidewalk, analysis of the quality of safety and comfort of the sidewalk as a pedestrian path. The results of the research are in the form of directional and environmentally friendly sidewalk designs in urban areas, which can be used to complement the shortcomings in variables and to correct variables that have not been fulfilled according to the perception and behavior of pedestrian users in the City of Tasikmalaya.
