Keberadaan jalur pejalan kaki saat ini merupakan sebuah kebutuhan pada wilayah perkotaan. Selain berfungsi sebagai elemen pembentuk kota, adanya jalur pejalan kaki juga bertujuan untuk memfasilitasi aktivitas pejalan kaki. Sehingga sudah semestinya jalur pejalan kaki harus memenuhi standar, dilengkapi dengan komponen pendukung dan dapat memberikan keamanan serta kenyamanan bagi penggunanya. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada penggal jalan Abu Bakar Ali Yogyakarta dengan tujuan untuk mengkaji kenyamanan jalur pejalan kaki ditinjau dari kondisi fisiknya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan mengemukakan data dan fakta di lapangan, kemudian dibandingkan dengan standar/peraturan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum jalur pejalan kaki di area survay belum memenuhi standarisasi. Perlu adanya perbaikan terkait fisik jalur pejalan kaki, penyediaan fasilitas untuk penyandang difable dan penyediaan komponen pendukung jalur pejalan kaki. Selain itu masih ditemui penyalahgunaan jalur pejalan kaki yang digunakan untuk pedagang kaki lima dan parkir.
