Walkability in The Musamus University Campus Area

Abstract

As an embodiment of meso-scale architecture, Musamus University must continue to improve itself to meet the needs of the growing activity actors in the campus environment. Pedestrian needs are the basis of an area that needs to be reviewed in this context. The movement of activity actors still uses motorized vehicles which results in spatial conflicts. This study aims to determine the walkability score of the Musamus University campus area and provide suggestions to improve the score so that it becomes an area that stimulates walking. The 6 urban attributes (variables) used to determine the walkability score according to the context of this area are connections to destinations, pedestrian comfort, legible, accessible,safe and pedestrian zones. Data, analysis and scoring of the walkability of the Musamus University campus area showed a score of 1.4 (not met). Availability of pedestrian paths; connectivity and continuity of the path; availability of shelters, seats and shade; disability facilities and strollers; conflicts with other modes of transportation; and pedestrian zones are the most influential walkability parameters.
