Abstract
Indonesia published Regulation No: 03/PRT/M/2014 about the Pedestrian Level of Service (LOS), consist of pedestrian movement characteristics and sidewalk capacity, as like the Bangkok standard, there is no parameter that represents pedestrian interest. Australian standards develop a Level of Service with the main based on categories that relate with pedestrian convenience. Within this study, identifying Indonesian pedestrian interests done by measuring pedestrian perception of convenience. This study aims to check the suitability between this standard pedestrian LOS and pedestrian perception of convenience in a commercial area, Pasar Gede market. The study results, based on Indonesia regulation LOS, the pedestrian path around Pasar Gede market is categorized as level A at all sections, and this is the same as the Bangkok standards. According to the Australian’s standard, the LOS is an A for the West section, B for the North section, and C for the South section. The pedestrians have perceptions of moderately discomfort for all sections. This means that although the pedestrian path fulfills the level of service for Indonesian Government regulation, it does not fulfill user satisfaction. Therefore, the Indonesian LOS standard for pedestrian paths doesn’t provide equity for the pedestrian.
Highlights
Walking is a significant mode of transport to promote sustainable transport, since it doesn’t need fuel does not create any pollution, and improves health [1,2]
Level of Service (LOS) is used as a standard for the planners to design to, and a suitable LOS and user perception is key to the successful implementation of the design
Most of the guidelines consider that pedestrian flow and volume, as well as sidewalk capacity is enough to measure LOS, but this consideration is criticized because pedestrians are treated like vehicles [4]
Summary
Walking is a significant mode of transport to promote sustainable transport, since it doesn’t need fuel does not create any pollution, and improves health [1,2]. One parameter to value pedestrian path performance is Level of Service. Countries have formulated standards of level of service for pedestrian paths, and each country has its own factors and values, which depend on pedestrian characteristics. Discussion about the LOS for pedestrian path starts with the flow, speed characteristics, and sidewalk capacity, and continues with pedestrian facilities, and pedestrian perception. Considering the right factors for the LOS should meet the satisfaction of planners and users. At this time, there are various approaches to pedestrian level of service models. Some of them emphasize pedestrian flow and volume, as well as sidewalk capacity, and others consider pedestrian path facilities [4]. Most of the guidelines consider that pedestrian flow and volume, as well as sidewalk capacity is enough to measure LOS, but this consideration is criticized because pedestrians are treated like vehicles [4]
