Abstract

Abstract - The introduction the new infrastructures in the city of Bandung is being executed in order to tacklevarious urban problems, such as the lack ofpedestrian-friendly spacse and the lack ofpublic spaces throughoutthe city. In 2017, the Local Government of Bandung opened Teras Cihampelas, which is a skywalk-type ofinfrastructure that was built above Cihampelas Street in order to relocate the street vendors that had beenoccupying the pedestrianway in Jalan Cihampelas and to become a new public space. The new structure, in fact,affects the scale and proportion ofthe spaces between buildings along the road and reconfigurated the visualqualities ofthe existing street. Therefore, the visual experiences in the pedestrianway throughout CihampelasStreet had also affected by the changes of those factors.The method used in this research is a qualitative triangulation method which can be done by mappingthe typology of the space between buildings based on the existing buildings’ intensity for further analysiswhich consist ofscale and proportion analysis, and walkability analysis that was based on visual evaluation. Theanalysis of each typology will then be mapped and merged in each pedestrianways to provide the visualexperiences of the pedestrian in Cihampelas Street.The visual quality in Cihampelas Street appears to slightly exceed the minimum comfortability standardbut still far from the maximum comfort for a pedestrianway. This problem appears because there are lacks oflegibility and imageability that the pedestrian can grasp in most parts of the pedestrianway. But aside fromthose factors, other factors like transparency, complexity, and coherence in Cihampelas Street are highly achievedso that the pedestrianway can still be comfortably walkable by the pedestrian. sKey Words : scale, proportion, visual quality, walkabillity, visual experience, pedestrian, qualitativetriangulation method, Cihampelas Street
