Implikasi Pembangunan Pedestrian di Jalan Pancasila Kota Tegal: Kontroversi Pemanfaatan Trotoar Pejalan Kaki dan Pedagang Kaki Lima

Abstract

The current misalignment with the Regional Regulation (Perwal) in utilizing pedestrian facilities on Pancasila Street, Tegal City, leads to discomfort, littering, and disorder. Policy adjustments are essential to realign usage with the city's developmental goals. This research assesses the impact of pedestrian development on Pancasila Street, particularly focusing on street vendors and pedestrians, utilizing qualitative analysis methods, including interviews and direct observations. Qualitative analysis, incorporating data coding and content analysis, is employed to understand social and economic impacts and emerging perspectives on pedestrian development. The findings highlight the need for active community participation in pedestrian planning, considering the influence of human practices and social capital on social structures and developmental decisions. While the government stresses pedestrian orderliness, community involvement is crucial for understanding social and economic impacts. In conclusion, active community participation is pivotal for optimizing positive impacts of urban infrastructure development. An educational approach is vital to raise awareness among vendors and residents, promoting rule adherence and fostering a clean, orderly, and safe urban environment. Effective collaboration among stakeholders is anticipated to create a supportive environment for all residents, including pedestrians and street vendors, ultimately contributing to sustainable economic success through transparent policies.
