Accessibility in Kelapa Dua Depok

Abstract

There are many previous studies on accessibility, but few studies consider accessibility comprehensively in areas where is difficult to access to the rail-based public transportation in suburban Indonesia. This paper focuses accessibility in three points; automobility, public transportation, walkability. The study reveal the inconvenience of public transportation reluctantly makes people choose other transportations such as private cars / motorcycles and informal transportation. Angkot which is used as a road-based public transportation, has relatively less merit, so that more people choose private cars / motorcycles and informal transportation. This leads to increase traffic volume, decrease road width due to illegal road occupation, and cause traffic congestion and accidents. In order to cut off these vicious circles, it is most important to develop public transportation measures. It is necessary to think how people motive to choose public transportation than other transportation.
