Car Free Day Jakarta

A good city is a city that is friendly to all its citizens, no exception for pedestrians. Unfortunately, the University of Stanford's research shows that the laziest people walking the world are Indonesians who are in the top position by taking 3,513 steps per day. This means that cities in Indonesia have not been able to attract pedestrians. In contrast to cities with better sidewalks, such as New York and San Francisco, citizens are more diligent on foot.

Why does this happen? Is it because of the time-effective factor, the convenience, or the poor pedestrian facilities?

Based on experience, walking activity is a lot of energy drain and make the skin become dark due to exposure to the sun. The positive impact is in addition to healthy, on foot we will be more satisfied to enjoy the atmosphere of the city. Following the experience of enjoying walking facilities in 3 cities in Indonesia, namely Yogyakarta, Jakarta, and Banda Aceh.


Fasilitas pejalan kaki di jalan Malioboro

Yogyakarta city

This romantic city is arguably one of the most respected cities in Indonesia. Proven with the extensive and beautiful arrangement of sidewalks, especially on the road Malioboro, thus making residents feel at home to walk. So no wonder, with keistimeaannya, Yogyakarta is always able to attract tourism, both local and foreign.

Jakarta city

As the capital city, this metropolitan city is considered as the interest of Indonesia, so it is reasonable if everyone is interested to follow its development. In fact, Jakarta Provincial Government has been trying to provide sidewalk for pedestrians, but the act of merchants who sell their merchandise on the sidewalks even forced their citizens to walk in the crowded streets with vehicles. As a result, the number of pedestrian accidents increases, so people choose not to walk again.

Banda Aceh city

City 1001 coffee shop is located at the western tip of Indonesia. After the tsunami in 2004, now Banda Aceh clean up a beautiful and friendly city. Unmitigated, development begins in many ways, such as infrastructure, tourism, education, and so forth. Then what about the pedestrian facility in this Serambi City of Mecca? The government-provided sidewalks are very good, especially on Daud Beureueh Street, around Bustanussalatin Park, and around the Baiturrahman Mosque. But there is no awareness of the community to diligently walk, it is visible from the city sidewalks are often empty.


This is the result of my brief observation of pedestrian facilities in Indonesia. Actually there is still Banjarmasin City and Malang, Just still I am looking photo in private file. Insha Alllah I will publish at a later time.

Thank you for visiting, hopefully this post useful.


Selamat pagi/siang/malam steemians di seluruh dunia, semoga kita semua dalam keadaan baik-baik saja.

Kota yang baik adalah kota yang ramah terhadap semua warganya, tak terkecuali bagi penjalan kaki. Namun sangat disayangkan, berkaca dari hasil penelitian Universitas Stanford menyatakan bahwa penduduk paling malas berjalan kaki sedunia adalah orang Indonesia yang berada pada posisi terbuncit dengan mencatat 3.513 langkah per hari, ini berarti Kota-kota di Indonesia belum mampu menarik minat pejalan kaki. Berbeda dengaan kota-kota yang trotoarnya lebih bagus, seperti New York dan San Francisco, wargannya lebih rajin berjalan kaki.

Mengapa hal ini bisa terjadi? Apakah karena faktor efektif waktu, kenyamanan, atau karena fasilitas pejalan kaki yang masih kurang bagus?

Berdasarkan pengalaman, aktivitas berjalan memang banyak menguras tenaga dan membuat kulit menjadi gelap akibat terpaan matahari. Dampak positifnya adalah selain menyehatkan, dengan berjalan kaki kita akan lebih puas menikmati suasana kota. Berikut pengalaman menikmati fasilitas jalan kaki di 3 kota di Indonesia, yaitu Yogyakarta, Jakarta, dan Banda Aceh.

Kota Yogyakarta

Kota yang katanya romantis ini bisa dibilang adalah salah satu kota yang paling menjunjung tinggi hak pejalan kaki di Indonesia. Terbukti dengan luas dan indahnya penataan trotoar, terutama di jalan Malioboro, sehingga membuat warga betah untuk berjalan kaki. Maka tidak heran, dengan keistimeaannya, Kota Yogyakarta selalu mampu menarik minat wisataan, baik lokal maupun mancanegara.

Kota Jakarta

Sebagai Ibukota, Kota metropolitan ini dianggap sebagai minatunrnya Indonesia, maka sangat wajar apabila semua orang tertarik mengikuti perkembangannya. Kenyataannya, Pemprov DKI sudah beupaya menyediakan trotoar bagi pejalan kaki, namun ulah oknum pedagang yang menjual barang dagangannya di trotoar malah memaksa warganya berjalan kaki dijalanan yang penuh sesak dengan kendaraan. Akibatnya angka kecelakaan pejalan kaki meningkat, sehingga masyarakat memilih untuk tidak berjalan kaki lagi.

Kota Banda Aceh

Kota 1001 warung kopi ini terletak di ujung barat Indonesia. Pasca dihempas tsunami pada tahun 2004, kini Banda Aceh berbenah menjadi kota yang indah dan ramah. Tak tanggung-tanggung, pembangunan dimulai dalam berbagai hal, seperti infrastruktur, pariwisata, pendidikan, dan lain sebagainya. Lalu bagaimana dengan fasilitas pejalan kaki di Kota Serambi Mekah ini? Trotoar yang disediakan pemerintah sudah sangat bagus, terutama di Jalan Daud Beureueh, sekitar Taman Bustanussalatin, dan sekitar Mesjid Baiturrahman. Namun belum ada kesadaran dari masyarakatnya untuk rajin berjalan kaki, itu terlihat dari trotoar Kota yang sering kosong melompong.

Demikianlah hasil observasi singkat saya tentang Fasilitas pejalan kaki di Indonesia. Sbenarnya masih ada Kota Banjarmasin dan Malang, Cuma fotonya masih saya cari lagi di file pribadi. Insya Alllah akan saya publikasikan di lain waktu.

Terima kasih telah berkunjung, semoga postingan ini bermanfaat.
