Abstract: The existence of sidewalks in the campus environment is the main requirement for pedestrians, especially for

the academic community with special needs. The existing condition of the sidewalk in Budi Luhur University

campus is still found problems, namely the distribution of pedestrian paths with vehicles is not continuous

even at some point the location does not have sidewalks. Another thing that is more important is the design

of the sidewalk that can accommodate the safety and comfort of the disabled people and pedestrian groups

which can be one of the educational facilities. From the formulation of the problem, descriptive research will

be carried out. Descriptive method is carried out to make a description, finding factually and accurately

regarding the facts, characteristics, and relationships between the phenomena investigated. This description

is obtained through field observations, interviews, and data from relevant agencies. The method of the

approach taken to achieve the predetermined goals is the Identification of Design Norms; Identification of

Comparative Studies and Identification of Potentials and Problems. The results of this study are in the form

of sidewalk redesign that can accommodate the safety and comfort of pedestrians, especially the disable

groups and sidewalks that can become educational facilities (transparent sidewalks).

1 INTRODUCTION

The existence of sidewalks (pedestrian ways) in the

campus environment is the main requirement for

pedestrians, especially for academics with special

needs (disabled people). The Accessibility of

infrastructure in an environment is the most important

thing to support the security and comfort of everyone

in it [1]. The presence of the campus is the same as

the existence of a city, where all campus residents

must be able to access existing facilities on campus

easily and safely. Every campus citizen has the same

right to get the services provided by the campus. This

is a manifestation of the sense of responsibility of the

campus manager, and the nature of campus facilities

is the provision of excellent service to the entire

academic community without exception.

The presence of the sidewalk at this time is not

only a place to walk but also many benefits that we

can take. One of them is how to create sidewalks that

can function as educational facilities. Sidewalks are

no longer a means that has to be "trampled", but it is

a tool that can improve the insight of the knowledge

that uses these facilities. Moreover, if the sidewalk is

in the education area, this will be in line with the

campus function as an educational institution.

The existing conditions of the University of Budi

Luhur campus sidewalk are still found problems.

Namely, the distribution of pedestrian paths with

vehicles is not continuous even in some locations it

does not have sidewalks. A pedestrian lane is a place

or space for pedestrian activities safely and

comfortably [2]. Another thing that is more important

is that sidewalk design has not accommodated the

safety and comfort of the disabled group. In addition,

sidewalks are expected to provide more value

(educational facilities). Based on the above

conditions, this study aims to redesign the sidewalks

in the UBL campus environment that are suitable for

pedestrians and friendly to the disabled group and can

be a means of education.

2 METHODOLOGY

This study uses a descriptive research method

approach. Descriptive method is carried out to make

a description systematically, factually, and accurately

regarding the facts, characteristics, and relationships

between phenomena investigated [3]. The results of

the analysis obtained new concepts and pedestrian

design as a means of education and friendly to the

disabled. The following are described methods of the

approach taken to achieve the predetermined goals:

2.1 Identification of Design Norms

The aim is to formulate criteria, indicators, and

elements that must be considered in designing

pedestrian ways that accommodate the safety and

comfort of pedestrians, especially the disabled group.

In addition, formulating criteria for sidewalks that

function as educational facilities.

2.2 Identification of the Comparative

Study

Aim to get a comparison of the criteria, indicators,

and elements of pedestrian design that are already

there and are considered successful.

2.3 Identification of potential and

problems

This identification aims to determine the condition of

the existing research area, both it is potential and

problems.

3 DISCUSSION

3.1 Basic concepts

The basic concept of this study is to redesign the

sidewalks in the Budi Luhur University campus that

can accommodate the safety and comfort of

pedestrians and disabled people. In addition, the

sidewalk is also expected to be an educational facility.

3.2 The Concept of Safety and

Convenience

The safety concept used in this study is sidewalks that

prioritize a greater portion of needs for pedestrians,

especially the quadriplegic so that they can freely

walk. Another concept is that sidewalks are made

continuous so that pedestrian circulation can be free

from motor vehicle traffic interventions. The

presence of shelter to avoid the heat and rain is used

as a concept of convenience in this study. This is in

line with the tropical climate in Indonesia, where the

weather is divided into 2 seasons. Shade facilities in

the form of a canopy will be continuously made to

follow the existing pavement. With this pergola,

climate problems (heat and rain) are reduced.

3.3 Concept of Education

The concept of education used in this study is the

sidewalk will be made transparent so as to provide a

translucent effect. Pedestrians can see anything under

the sidewalk. During this time the existing sidewalks

seemed closed, dirty and hidden. Apart from

functioning as an educational facility, this transparent

sidewalk can be a means of entertainment. The

location of the study in the University of Budi Luhur

Jakarta (entrance campus, building units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

and 6).

Figure 1: The Siteplan of Universitas Budi Luhur Jakarta.

The location of study is divided into several

segments. This aims so that all potentials and

problems can be identified properly. The division of

the study location segments are:

 Segment 1 = Main gate

 Segment 2 = Building Unit 1, 2, 5

 Segment 3 = Building Units 3, 4 and 6

4 THE RESULT OF STUDY

The main gate of the Budi Luhur University campus

has been equipped with the vehicle and pedestrian

access. However, the pedestrian condition is not free

from the vehicle. The existing condition of

pedestrians can only be seen in the form of yellow

markers parallel to vehicle access.

Figure.3. The existing condition of the sidewalk is not free

from the vehicle - Before (Segment 1).

Figure 4: The existing condition of the lobby lift has not

been accessible to the disabled. Before (Segment 3).

For this purpose, a design that provides safety and

comfort for pedestrians, especially the physically

disabled, is created. Security aspects can be obtained

from the difference in height between the sidewalk

line and the vehicle lane. The sidewalk is made

continuous and is equipped with a guardrail to make

the sidewalk area free from the vehicle. The comfort

aspect of pedestrians is obtained from the presence of

steel construction roofs covered with spandek. The

main pillar of the roof using H-Beam Roll with the

cantilever system gives a strong and modern

impression. The choice of style and construction is in

accordance with the existing and existing conditions

of the main gate of the Budi Luhur University.

Figure 6: Sidewalk Redesigning Details (Segment 1)

To accommodate comfortable, the sidewalk is

equipped with ramps and blind tiles. The sidewalk is

made continuously. This sidewalk lane is parallel to

the vehicle lane according to existing conditions. The

safety fence is made of galvanized pipe. The

pedestrian will be equipped with wooden chairs and

lighting as well as signs/disability markers as the

main ornament.

(Segment 3)

For educational facilities, the location of the park

is made of transparent sidewalks. The sidewalk is

made of special material so that the bottom surface of

the pavement can be seen from above. People can see

the condition of the sidewalk so that it becomes an

educational facility.

5 CONCLUSIONS

After analyzing the aspects that affect the redesign of

the Budi Luhur University campus sidewalk

obtained:

5.1. Security aspects can be obtained from

the difference in height between the sidewalk line and

the vehicle lane. The sidewalk is made continuous

and is equipped with a guardrail to make the sidewalk

area free from the vehicle.

5.2. The comfort aspect of pedestrians is

obtained from the presence of steel construction roofs

covered with spandex. To accommodate comfortable

comfort, the sidewalk is equipped with ramps and

blind tiles. The sidewalk is made continuously and

equipped with a safety fence. The pedestrian will be

equipped with wooden chairs and lighting as well as

signs/disability markers as the main ornament.

5.3. The educational aspect is obtained from

transparent sidewalks, where pedestrians can see the

bottom conditions of the sidewalk. During this time,

the sidewalk seemed closed, dirty, and not

maintained. With the application of transparent

sidewalks, pedestrians can learn and know what

systems/networks are under the sidewalk. In addition,

the sidewalk will always be neat and clean.
