Abstract
Banda Aceh starts to develop the city transportation system by introducing bus “Trans Koetaradja” in 2016. It is one of the government actions to accommodate people to move within the city and expected to solve and prevent the city traffic jam that starts to happen in the last decade. On the one hand, the high growth in the number of motor vehicles reveals the needs of the people to commute in the city, however, on the other hand, this situation brings some problem that can affect city life, related to human and environment. For these reasons, early observation and questionnaire indicate that people’s willingness to walk is low due to the factors of the physical environment and local habits. For these reasons, this paper tries to approach the problem with the idea of walkability; understanding the definition of walkability and learning what variables needed to take into account to apply and evaluate the notion, in the more contextual matter through literature studies. It is necessary to consider about walkability development, to support the progress of Banda Aceh forward sustainable development.
