Artificial Lighting Strategies on Campus Pedestrian Path in Increasing the Safety of Walking at Night (Case Study: University of Bengkulu)

Abstract

Pedestrian path in the campus is strategic route dominated by the movement of students and other users from 06.00 AM until 20.00 PM. The unavailability of artificial lighting at night on the pedestrian paths on the campus of the University of Bengkulu causes low visibility for pedestrian path users and have an impact on walking difficulties, negative behaviour and opportunities for criminal acts. The purpose of this study is identifying frequently used pedestrian paths and examines the principles of artificial lighting must be applied pedestrian users can walk safely and comfortably in the campus at night. These conditions can increasing liveability of pedestrian paths on the campus at night. The study sites were divided into 10 zones. Each zone will be analysed using combination method of field survey methods, online questionnaires, and simulation methods using Dialux evo 9.0. Data from questionnaire and field survey result will be used to decide the artificial lighting plan on the pedestrian path. While Dialux evo 9.0 simulation are to simulate the planned light points The results of the research are determining an artificial lighting strategy is evenly distributed along the pedestrian path.
