Walkability assessment and pedestrian way planning on Mercedes Benz Road Corridor, Cicadas, Bogor Regency

Abstract

A pedestrian way is a space for pedestrians to walk safely. Walkability is a conceptual term for measuring connectivity and quality levels of various pedestrian ways. Walkability assessment can be measured by assessing the infrastructure available for pedestrians. The Mercedes Benz Road, Cicadas, Bogor Regency is the location used as the research object. It is used as a research location because the land use is dominated by trade and services as many as 116 units and industry as many as 26 units. A large enough demand is not balanced with the procurement of pedestrian facilities that are adequate. This study aims to determine the level of walkability and the need for pedestrian walkways. The method used is the Global Walkability Index and the Greenshields model. The results of this study found that all segments are slightly walkable. In segment 1, 1.5 m and 2 m wide sidewalks were designed. In segment 2, 1.5 m and 1.7 m wide sidewalks were intended, and in segment 3, 2 m wide sidewalks were designed on each side.
