Index of Walkability to and from Public Transport Stops or Terminals in Greater Jakarta to Enhance Walking Environment

Abstract

Almost all travel between an origin to a destination requires walking as first-mile and last-mile transport mode. Walking can be conducted either in the sidewalks, zebra-crosses, and pedestrian bridges. This paper adopts the index of walkability developed by D'orso dan Migliore in 2020 to be used for 150 respondents in Greater Jakarta. This index consists of three constructs (factors), i.e., practicability, safety and, pleasantness. A confirmatory factor analysis was used using principal component analysis in SPSS 27 and rotated using varimax with Kaizer Normalization. Instead of three factors in the original index, in this Indonesian adaptation, only two factors were extracted. Based on the discussion on this paper, it was recommended to increase the number of respondents to get a more valid result.
