Abstract

This paper discusses the pedestrian path of the Universitas Tarumanagara (Untar) at Campus I. This is important because the pedestrian path starting from the access S. Parman Road to the west to Buildings L and J entrance are still lacking. It is necessary to increase the circulation path that connects the entire campus to be safe and comfortable. Parking Building with Buildings J terrace has not been contacted with a sky bridge so that learning activities are not obstructed by rain. Pedestrian paths are important in the campus environment as a means of circulation, ecology, aesthetics and interaction space for campus people. The problem of this research is how to realize the pedestrian path of the Untar at the campus I can be a social interaction space for campus users and organize greenery so that the aesthetics of the environment around the campus? Therefore, this study aims to map activities on the pedestrian path as a space for social interaction and increase aesthetic value. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method by dividing the zone from the object's site, identifying each existing element along with the existing activities. The data of these zones were analyzed using landscape theory (research focus on: vegetation, aesthetics, pedestrians and social interactions). From the analysis conducted, the researchers found findings that the Untar at campus I needs to reorganize the pedestrian path with the addition of vegetation in several zones, signage to be informative for every visitor, artificial lighting at night in certain zones and the use of exterior materials.
