Abstract

The feasibility of a pedestrian path (sidewalk) can be measured from the level of fulfillment of pedestrians who cross the pedestrian path. This can be measured based on several criteria such as accessibility, beauty, circulation, shade, safety, security, noise, cleanliness and connectivity. Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani is an area with various types of land functions, namely offices, education, trade and services. With various land functions (mix use), a proper pedestrian path is needed so that pedestrians can carry out their activities comfortably. Interconnected pedestrian paths are needed so that they can reach all existing facilities in the area on foot without having to move between vehicles. The final objective of this study is to measure the level of comfort of the pedestrian path and determine the priority of pedestrian needs on the pedestrian path along Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani in order to obtain the development of a pedestrian path that is comfortable and can accommodate all the needs of pedestrians in the area. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using a Likert scale to obtain a level of comfort based on the criteria / sub criteria for pedestrian needs and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to obtain priority pedestrian needs. The results showed that the pedestrian path along Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani was categorized as uncomfortable with a comfort level of 2,
