Walkabilty Study on Pedestrian Path in the Rawamangun Velodrome Area, East Jakarta

Abstract

Pedestrian paths in the Rawamangun Velodrome area have been built since the start of the 2018 Asian Games, but the results of observations of the use of pedestrian paths are still low in user traffic. This writing aims to identify the walkability index and pedestrian facilities based on pedestrian service standards. This study used the mixed method for investigating the pedestrian path facilities, pedestrians volume by and the width of the pedestrian path in each observation segment. The walkability index was measured by using the formula and theory of the global walkability index. The value of the global pedestrian index analysis was recorded as 57.63, which means that some facilities around the pedestrian path (sidewalk) can be reached or passed on foot, but the fact is that there are frequent conflicts between pedestrians and motorcycle parking lots and street vendors. The finding of this study could be used for policy evaluation of the walkable area of Velodrome Rawamangun.
