Redesign Tanah Abang Station with Architectural Wayfinding Approach in Central Jakarta

Abstract

Jakarta is a high-density city, most people in Jakarta are from suburban around Jakarta. They come to Jakarta with public transportation, one of the public transportations is a commuter line. The commuter line arrives at many stations in Jakarta, such as Tanah Abang Station. Tanah Abang Station is the densest station in Jakarta. However, at present the Tanah Abang Station violates the Minister of Public Works Regulation standard on the accessibility of station passengers, 85% of passengers say the problem and problem that is often mentioned is circulation problems and based on the Development Master Plan book, there will be development at Tanah Abang Station ending in 2020. So that the Tanah Abang Station needed a redesign. In designing, it must solve the existing problems, namely circulation. In the world of architecture, circulation in complex buildings is arranged in architectural wayfinding, ability to identify one’s location and arrive at destinations or navigate in spatial environments, 12 components of circulation in architectural wayfinding are solutions to existing problems, and Tanah Abang Station only has 4 of 12 components. At least these components are directly proportional to the inadequate circulation at the Tanah Abang Station so that in the redesign of the Tanah Abang Station, use architectural wayfinding approach.
