Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
The pedestrian bridge (PB) is one of the relatively the safest facilities that makes it easy for pedestrians on urban highways. The construction of the pedestrian bridge becomes one of the recommended forms of urban transport infrastructure to reduce traffic accidents. However, most of the PB not utilized optimally. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of PB and pedestrian interest in using it and the principle of its application to be effective. The research site is focused on trade and education area (PB front Mall Makassar Town Square and front of the Mandai Elementary School of Makassar). The research data comes from survey results and field interviews. The type of these researches are Qualitative and Descriptive Analysis. The results of these researches show that PB in the trade area is quite effective compared to the education area (51.34% PB Mall M'Tos and 31.71% PB Mandai Elementary School). Throughout the PB has not provided convenience users, where the path to the PB is not yet available and wide PB not yet wide enough, especially PB in the trade area, its user dominant carrying goods groceries. The problem with PB in the area of education that is not beneficial effectively is the result of the placement of PB location, the user takes a lot of time to PB. In addition the PB construction structure does not match the anatomy of its users, particularly at the height of the PB steps. The principle of providing PB, should fulfill the standards that can provide convenience, comfort and safety for all users, especially friendly to the elderly and who have physical limitations.
