Parking Space Demand Study for Dondo Market, Tojo Una-Una District

Abstract

The current parking space at Dondo Market is not effective because it still uses the road shoulder and is not well organised. When the market is busy, the parking area is full of two- and four-wheeled vehicles, spilling over onto the road, causing congestion and disturbing road users. Therefore, an analysis is needed to determine the ideal parking space requirements. The purpose of this study is to provide recommendations for parking space requirements and design its layout, as well as analyse traffic performance on Jl. Tj. Keramat before and after the parking facility. The results show that the market manager should provide potential land for off street parking. There is vacant land to the right and left of the market with a total area of 6,985 m2 which exceeds the current parking demand. If needed, there is still vacant land owned by the community around the market that can be developed as an additional parking area.
