Children pedestrian as part of sustainable transportation requires safe and comfortable area for their activity. The design principle of a good quality children pedestrian needs in-depth research. Study involving children pedestrian are related mostly to research with an adult as a major user, behaviour and pedestrian route. This study aim is to analyse the design principle of children pedestrian in settlement and housing area. The location of the study is the city of Manado, Minahasa and North Minahasa Regency. Data is collected through questionnaire and survey on field area and recording through videos and photos of activities in children pedestrian using smartphone and camera. The samples for this research are children pedestrians in selected housing and settlement areas in Winangun area, schools in Manado and North Minahasa Regency. The number of samples is 111 children between the age of 8 to 12-year-old. The result showed children preference of object and place in the walking area. Their choice for pedestrian area is also interesting in which they consider the aspect of safety, comfort and fun for doing their activities in their neighbourhood area and the surrounding school area. A specific regulation for children pedestrian is important when considering child-friendly environments.

Accidents within rider and pedestrian are increased during the last five years period. Conflict street users occur due to factors such as behavior and facility available. This research aims to analyze rider behavior and its influence on the pedestrian-motorcycle accident.  The research location is North Sulawesi Province, with the distribution of the questionnaire. Accident data reference is used to evaluate factors that influence the accident. Research result shows differences and similarity judgment for rider behavior in urban dan rural area. Majority choice show rider understanding of aspects in reducing the number of accidents. Differences in the location have a different facility available and the use of traffic lines for rider and pedestrian. Although it is not a majority, a choice against factors to reduce accidents can be fatal to the user. However, this option needs further research related to factors to influence such a choice. It is crucial to put safety pedestrian and rider into priority by strong regulation. Kecelakaan yang melibatkan pejalan kaki dan sepeda motor meningkat dalam kurun waktu lima tahun terakhir. Konflik pengguna jalan terjadi disebabkan berbagai faktor seperti perilaku dan ketersediaan fasilitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa perilaku pengendara dan pengaruhnya terhadap kecelakaan pejalan kaki-sepeda motor. Lokasi penelitian di provinsi Sulawesi Utara dengan metode penyebaran kuisioner. Rujukan data kecelakaan digunakan untuk mengevaluasi faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya kecelakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan dan persamaan penilaian yang menggambarkan perilaku pengendara di area perkotaan dan perdesaan. Mayoritas penilaian menunjukkan pemahaman terhadap aspek-aspek yang dapat mengurangi kecelakaan. Perbedaan lokasi kecelakaan memiliki perbedaan fasilitas yang tersedia dan penggunaan jalur lalu lintas bagi pengendara dan pejalan kaki. Meskipun bukan mayoritas  pilihan tapi pertentangan akan faktor untuk mengurangi kecelakaan dapat berakibat fatal. Namun hal ini perlu diteliti lebih lanjut faktor yang mempengaruhi pilihan tersebut. Penting sekali untuk mulai mengutamakan keselamatan pejalan kaki dan pengendara sepeda motor dengan peraturan yang tegas.

Flooding in the riverfront area is a danger for pedestrians without appropriate information and facility during the event. This research aims to analyze the principle design of the evacuation route for the pedestrian in Borgo Village. This village is located in Minahasa regency, North Sulawesi Indonesia. Many experiences of flooding followed by a landslide, Borgo Village has faced many destruction and victims during such an event. Therefore, creating a principle design can help improve access for evacuation for the pedestrian. The method of this research is field study with record area using photos and videos. Interview with the community in the area is conducted to support field data. Potential identification data is used to establish an area of evacuation and safety temporary location during evacuation. The result shows that several factors need to be implemented in the region. Such the factors are access from the river to the temporary evacuation building or area. The other one is the symbol and sign of evacuation that needs to be installed to the location, and the facility for the pedestrian pathway need to be constructed based on the standard design. Lastly, regulation for building setback in the riverfront area need to be applied to improve the city for water flow during flooding and flash flooding. There should be more attention to activity in the area as well as understanding land use for the riverfront and other waterfront areas for future research.

PurposeThere are various methods to assess the failure of a road construction project that does not meet quality and performance standards. This study aims to evaluate the factors affecting the quality management of road construction projects in Indonesia by identifying the critical challenges in implementing quality management processes and examining the countermeasures to address these problems.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, the quality management processes in Indonesian road construction projects are evaluated using a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach. Quantitative data obtained from two rounds of Delphi questionnaire surveys as the primary data source, and focus group interviews as the qualitative data are used to achieve the aims of this study.FindingsIt is found that from as early as in the preconstruction stage of a project, the availability of quality standards and documentation is problematic when implementing quality management processes. The critical factor of the quality control activities of a project and the quality management roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders during road construction is the project team. This constraint deals with the interaction of the competency, commitment, and mutual cooperation among the main stakeholders to ensure that quality management processes are implemented. This implementation is a part of controlling the road pavement materials, supervising the project activities according to a specified standard, and reporting the project performance. The findings of this study add parameters relating to quality management and quality processes in a road construction project area.Originality/valueThis study is the first to evaluate the quality management processes in the construction of Indonesian road projects. The investigation identifies and evaluates the causes of the persistence of poor road quality. All revealed constraints are substantial factors that hinder the implementation of quality management processes when delivering quality road products. This study addresses the key influencing factors and scenarios related to quality management during road construction projects in Indonesia and other developing countries as practical examples and provides case-based insights for construction practitioners and civil engineering academics in developed countries.
