The Influence of Landuse on the Performance of Pekalipan Road Cirebon

Abstract

The land of an area is utilized in such a way as to support human activities. This land use is influential in generating traffic generation and attraction. However, land use in an area is often misused, which can cause traffic conflicts and congestion. The congestion that occurs illustrates the condition of the road with a decreased level of road service and is unable to accommodate the number of vehicles passing by. One of the roads that became the research location is Jalan Pekalipan. Jalan Pekalipan is located in an area of trade, shops, and warehouses, and there is misuse of pedestrian land and roads. Activities in the area cause side obstacles that affect the performance of the road. This reserach uses descriptive research methods combined with a quantitative approach. To determine the appropriateness of land use, refer to Cirebon City Regional Ordinance No. 8 of 2012 on Cirebon City Spatial Planning 2011-2031 and to determine the extent of land use effects, the calculation is based on the 2023 Indonesia Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI 2023). Based on observations made for one week, it was found that the greater the activity in an area, the greater the obstacles caused, and the greater the obstacles, the less the road capacity. From the results of the calculation analysis, it is found that the performance of Jalan Pekalipan is at LOS B and C, which means that the road performance is still conducive and stable. To maintain road performance on the Pekalipan Road section, there needs to be assertiveness for land abuse that occurs and there needs to be a disciplined attitude of road users in traffic.
