Abstract

The evaluation of street lighting is a critical issue from a global traffic safety perspective. Different road lighting standards in different countries pose challenges to data comparison and effective policy implementation. Given the increasing number of traffic accidents in Indonesia, evaluating the level of road lighting is increasingly important. It is clear that there are significant differences between urban and rural areas in terms of street lighting. In an effort to improve traffic safety on the Majalengka Ring Road, evaluating the level of road lighting on road user safety is an important part. Given the high rate of traffic accidents on the Majalengka Ring Road, an assessment of the level of road lighting in relation to road user safety should be carried out immediately. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how drivers are impacted by the Majalengka Ring Road's position, which lacks an adequate street lighting system.. The site of this research was located on the Ring Road of the Majalengka. This research uses qualitative methods with perception analysis. The main data from the questionnaire given to 40 people who use Majalengka Ring Road. People were asked how important and satisfied they were with the street lighting on this road. They could choose from 1 to 5, from not important to very important, and from dissatisfied to very satisfied. The method used to process data is Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results of this study are expected to provide solutions and changes for future spatial planning, which will result in improved infrastructure and various other aspects, especially on the public street lighting of road users, as well as improve the safety, comfort and overall quality of life of the community.

Abstract

Road infrastructure is an important foundation for economic growth and the movement of people around the world. Road lighting also plays a vital role in safe driving at night. Roads are local infrastructure that facilitate trade, tourism and cross-border interaction. Traffic acts as a means of land transportation that makes it easier for individuals to travel and companies to distribute their products to various regions. Therefore, creating a safe and comfortable environment for the community involves various aspects, one of which is lighting. In the context of driving safety, the case that occurs on the Cikijing - Majalengka road is the absence of adequate road lighting, endangering road users at night. Adequate lighting plays an important role in preventing crime, because criminals tend to avoid areas that are well lit and easily monitored. The location of this research was carried out on the Cikijing - Majalengka highway, more precisely on the Cikebo Block highway, Maja District. This research uses qualitative methods to analyze perceptions. because this method is more suitable for answering research questions that cannot be answered quantitatively. This study measured respondents' perceptions of street lighting based on two parameters: level of importance and level of satisfaction. Measurements were made using a Likert scale of 1 to 5 with a range from “not important” to “very important” for importance, and from “not satisfied” to “very satisfied” for satisfaction. The data collected was then analyzed using the (IPA) method. Based on data collected from 50 respondents, the Cikijing-Majalengka road user profile is dominated by men, with the majority aged ≤ 20 years, and the most commonly used vehicle is a motorcycle. Users over 60 years of age are relatively rare on this road section.
