Abstract
Accessibility for pedestrians is the interdisciplinary study of accessibility that does not rely on automobiles or other motorized modes of transportation. The research was carried out in the historical district of Malacca City, which is the destination of different tourist access locations and activities. The method used is network analysis and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP), which relies on Geographic Information System (GIS) as the primary database platform. This method estimates the pedestrian accessibility score in the study region. Four variables were considered: residential density, commercial or historical density, road connectivity variables, and land use. The research findings can demonstrate the percentage of people in the area who have a high, medium, or low walking ability. In addition, with the help of GIS and walk score data, one can ascertain that the placement of the downstream city is in an area with an exceptionally high level of walkability and unrivalled accessibility. As a result, the findings of this study have the potential to benefit sustainable urban planning in terms of the economy, the environment, and the layout of cities that do not use motor vehicles.
