Abstract

Car-oriented development has brought several negative impacts on human quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to walkability as one of the essential aspects of it, especially in the urban area. In the meantime, most research on walking and walkability still overlooks the role of the pedestrian's perspective in examining walkability. Hence, this research tries to fill the gap in walkability research by exploring the pedestrian perspectives on the safety, comfort, and usefulness of walking space as the three overlapping aspects between walkability and walking needs. This research took context in Suryakencana, Bogor City, Indonesia. To collect information on pedestrian perception and reveal the involved factors, this study used semi-structured-map-based interviews and field observation. By utilizing descriptive analysis, this study highlights the need to consider both physical and non-physical factors to create a safe, comfortable, and useful walking space, and it also found several contributing factors to the perception of safety, comfort, and usefulness of walking space. This research is expected to improve the understanding of walking from the pedestrian perspective and to reconsider the salient factors in developing pedestrian space, hence can accommodate better pedestrians' needs.

Abstract

Urban sprawl is rapidly expanding in the outskirts of Jakarta, resulting in a patchwork of urban areas. Unlike many walkable cities in Europe that have long embraced the pedestrian culture, Jakarta and other developing cities have prioritized private vehicle-oriented development, leading to mixed urban forms. According to data from BPS in 2022, over 16.5 million motorcycles are registered in Jakarta, and 62.3% of Jabodetabek commuters use them. This study recognizes the permeability of neighbourhood scale concerning using motorcycles to support daily mobility. This narrative qualitative research investigated permeability regarding the legibility, variety, and perceptual aspects. In addition, to illustrate the potential of motorcycles, this case study explores the concept of permeability at the neighborhood scale, highlighting the role of motorcycles in supporting it. The findings show that the permeability on neighbourhood scale relates to the negotiation space between motorcycles mobility and residents, including street vendors. Despite the significant impact of motorcycles on the city's configuration, stakeholders involved in urban space interventions have yet to fully recognize the importance of addressing motorcycle-related issues, including safety and livability.
