<![CDATA[This article aims to analyze the condition of pedestrian pathways along the Diponegoro Street Corridor in Pangkal Pinang City based on the concept of walkability. The research focuses on accessibility, safety, security, comfort, connectivity, physical pedestrian conditions, supporting facilities, environmental attractiveness, and pedestrian pathway obstacles. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through field observations, interviews with relevant agencies, documentation, and a literature review of technical guidelines and previous studies. The data were analyzed descriptively by comparing existing conditions with walkability indicators. The results indicate that the pedestrian pathways do not fully support a walkable environment. Problems were identified in pathway continuity, accessibility for persons with disabilities, conflicts with vehicles, surface conditions, reduced effective width, limited shade and lighting, connectivity with public transportation, supporting facilities, and obstacles caused by vehicle parking, street vendors, utilities, and street furniture. However, physical separation between pedestrians and vehicles, connectivity with the surrounding road network and public facilities, pathway gradients, and the visual quality of the environment and buildings support pedestrian activities. The study concludes that improvements in physical quality, supporting facilities, connectivity, and obstacle management are required to improve pedestrian pathway conditions]]>
