Spatial Characteristics Visualization of Transfer Point Infrastructure

Abstract

The government's efforts to increase public transport users in Palembang by providing public transport such as LRT, Teman Bus and angkot feeder LRT Musi Emas. The previous research shows that there are still deficiencies in public transport services. The condition of physical integration between public transport, such as no bus stop, inadequate sidewalk facilities and even in some locations they are not available, no crossing bridges, no lighting, no information on routes, schedules and several other things. Based on these conditions, this research will study physical integration between public transport modes by visualizing the spatial characteristics of transit point facilities in Palembang City. The method used for visualization is a mapping model using the GIS 10.8 application. The results of this research show that the districts with the most transfer points in Palembang are Ilir Timur I and Alang-Alang Lebar which have LRT stations, bus stops and river mode infrastructures. The results of this research can be used as a reference for improving public transport physical integration in Palembang in areas served by public transport. The visualization results of transfer point users in Palembang have shown that Ilir Barat I and Sukarame Districts have the highest number of users of transfer points infrastructure LRT station. Based on this research, it is known that the availability of transfer points infrastructure is not necessarily accompanied by a high number of public transport users in one sub-district when compared to other sub-districts. This is partly due to inadequate condition of physical integration between public transport.
