Penelitian ini berfokus pada perencanaan jalur pejalan kaki baru, termasuk underpass dan skywalk, di kawasan komersial Jalan Boulevard dan Jalan Pengayoman, Kota Makassar. Masalah utama yang dihadapi adalah kurangnya kenyamanan dan keamanan jalur pejalan kaki akibat parkir liar, kemacetan, dan terbatasnya fasilitas pejalan kaki. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang jalur pejalan kaki yang terstandarisasi, nyaman, dan terintegrasi dengan kawasan strategis.
Metode yang digunakan meliputi observasi lapangan, wawancara, dan analisis data primer dan sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden mendukung pembangunan jalur pejalan kaki dan skywalk dengan elemen-elemen penting seperti penerangan yang memadai, aksesibilitas bagi penyandang disabilitas, dan fasilitas pendukung seperti tempat duduk dan penanda arah yang jelas. Desain jalur dirancang untuk terhubung dengan pusat transportasi umum, pusat perbelanjaan, dan area perkantoran, dengan mengedepankan kenyamanan, keamanan, dan keberlanjutan.
Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi desain berdasarkan peraturan seperti Pedoman Teknis No. 027/T/Bt/1995 dan Permen PUPR No. 5 Tahun 2023. Implementasi skywalk dan jalur pejalan kaki baru diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas ruang publik, mengurangi kemacetan, dan menciptakan lingkungan perkotaan yang lebih nyaman, efisien, dan inklusif.

Jl. Boulevard and Jl. Pengayoman is a commercial area in Makassar City. Jl. Boulevard and Jl. Protection is quite strategic because it can be reached by all levels of society from various means of transportation. Various community activities such as walking, jogging, shopping, office activities, etc. have resulted in the increase in parking for visitors' vehicles in the area, covering the shoulders of the road and pedestrians. From the results of our previous research, it is clear that the cause of illegal parking that occurs in the commercial areas of Jalan Boulevard and Jalan Pengayoman is the limited parking space in each commercial building and the standard for calculating parking spaces in the commercial areas of Jalan Boulevard and Jalan Pengayoman. This is what causes the loss of user comfort and the change in pedestrian function to illegal parking in the Jl. Boulevard and Jl.
