Abstract: This article aims to analyze the condition of pedestrian paths in the Diponegoro Street Corridor in Pangkalpinang City based on the concept of walkability. The research problem focuses on the conditions of accessibility, safety, security, comfort, connectivity, the physical condition of pedestrians, supporting facilities, environmental attractiveness, and obstacles on the pedestrian path. The study used a structured field audit with a checklist of 40 indicators (assessment of appropriate/inappropriate) synthesized from the literature, reinforced by interviews with related agencies and documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing the existing conditions against the benchmarks for each indicator. The results showed that 10 of the 40 indicators were appropriate and the pedestrian path did not fully support a walkable environment. Problems were found in path continuity, accessibility for people with disabilities, conflicts with vehicles, surface conditions, reduced effective width, limited shade and lighting, connectivity with public transportation, supporting facilities, and obstacles in the form of vehicle parking, street vendors, utilities, and street furniture. On the other hand, the physical separation of pedestrians from vehicles, connectivity to the road network and public facilities, path slopes, and the visual quality of the environment and buildings have supported walking activities. This study concludes that improving physical quality, supporting facilities, connectivity, and obstacle control are necessary to improve the condition of pedestrian paths.
