“…A city is an area that always grows through planning or without planning. [1] The urban problems in Indonesia are related to the increasing need for urban activities that are not offset by the compatibility of urban spatial arrangements, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the environment. [2] One of the problems of the city is the increase in the number of buildings that violate the regulations so that it can reduce other functions such as pedestrians, dense vehicle circulation, and the shift in the function of pedestrians as motor vehicle lanes.…”

The rapid urbanization and population growth in cities have led to an increase in the number of pedestrians, making pedestrian planning a critical aspect of urban development. This study aims to analyze the pedestrian planning strategies implemented in the city of Medan, Indonesia. The analysis begins by examining the current pedestrian infrastructure and its adequacy to meet the needs of pedestrians in terms of safety, accessibility, and comfort. Various factors, such as sidewalk conditions, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and street furniture, are evaluated to assess the overall quality of the pedestrian environment. The study also investigates the effectiveness of existing pedestrian planning policies and their alignment with international standards and best practices. It identifies any gaps or deficiencies in the current planning approach and provides recommendations for improvement. Furthermore, public opinion and stakeholder perspectives on pedestrian planning are considered through surveys and interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by pedestrians in the city. Additionally, the analysis takes into account the influence of land use patterns, transportation systems, and urban design on pedestrian planning. It examines how these factors contribute to pedestrian connectivity, walkability, and overall urban livability. Furthermore, the study explores potential strategies and innovative interventions that can enhance pedestrian safety and convenience. The findings of this analysis will contribute to evidence-based decisionmaking for future pedestrian planning initiatives in the city of Medan. It will provide valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and stakeholders to create a more pedestrian-friendly city environment. The results can be used to develop comprehensive and sustainable strategies that prioritize the needs of pedestrians, improve connectivity, and promote active modes of transportation.
