“…Research on the severity of pedestrian-vehicle crashes has been ongoing for many years in multiple countries [1][2][3][8][9][10]13,14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Many studies have identified factors that affect the severity of pedestrian injuries, including the personal characteristics of pedestrians and drivers, temporal characteristics, and aspects of the built environment, such as road characteristics and land use.…”

Pedestrian-vehicle crashes can result in serious injury to pedestrians, who are exposed to danger when in close proximity to moving vehicles. Furthermore, these injuries can be considerably serious and even lead to death in a manner that varies depending on the pedestrian’s age. This is because the pedestrian’s physical characteristics and behaviors, particularly in relation to roads with moving vehicles, differ depending on the pedestrian’s age. This study examines the determinants of pedestrian injury severity by pedestrian age using binary logistic regression. Factors in the built environment, such as road characteristics and land use of the places where pedestrian crashes occurred, were considered, as were the accident characteristics of the pedestrians and drivers. The analysis determined that the accident characteristics of drivers and pedestrians are more influential in pedestrian-vehicle crashes than the factors of the built environmental characteristics. However, there are substantial differences in injury severity relative to the pedestrian’s age. Young pedestrians (aged under 20 years old) are more likely to suffer serious injury in school zones; however, no association between silver zones and injury severity is found for elderly pedestrians. For people in the age range of 20–39 years old, the severity of pedestrian injuries is lower in areas with more crosswalks and speed cameras. People in the age range of 40–64 years old are more likely to be injured in areas with more neighborhood streets and industrial land use. Elderly pedestrians are likely to suffer fatal injuries in areas with more traffic signals. This study finds that there are differences in the factors of pedestrian injury severity according to the age of pedestrians. Therefore, it is suggested that concrete and efficient policies related to pedestrian age are required to improve pedestrian safety and reduce pedestrian-vehicle crashes.

“…Hal ini mengakibatkan resiko kendaraan bermotor bertabrakan dengan pejalan kaki meningkat seiring bertambahnya jumlah kendaraan bermotor yang berinteraksi dengan pejalan kaki (Maghfur, 2015). Jika lingkungan tidak dapat menjamin keamanan pejalan kaki, maka upaya untuk meningkatkan kegiatan berjalan kaki dapat mengancam keselamatan pejalan kaki dan meningkatkan kematian dan cedera bagi pejalan kaki (Yu, 2015).…”

Kawasan Blok M merupakan pusat kegiatan sekunder di wilayah Kota Administrasi Jakarta Selatan yang berfungsi sebagai pusat perkantoran, perdagangan dan jasa, dekat dengan permukiman yang memiliki daya tarik besar sebagai bangkitan dan tarikan lalu lintas, serta termasuk kawasan yang diprioritaskan untuk penanganan jalur pejalan kaki. Beberapa permasalahan kawasan Blok M yaitu adanya alih fungsi jalur pejalan kaki, kondisi geometri yang tidak ideal, tidak adanya street furniture, adanya hambatan pada jalur pejalan kaki, kondisi tekstur yang tidak rata, dan terdapat jalan yang belum memiliki jalur pejalan kaki. Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis penentuan prioritas indikator dalam merencanakan jalur pejalan kaki agar sesuai dengan preferensi pejalan kaki dan preferensi para ahli terkait keamanan dan kenyamanan, sehingga dapat berfungsi secara optimal. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis IPA terkait preferensi pejalan kaki dan analisis AHP terkait preferensi para ahli untuk merumuskan penentuan prioritas indikator dalam merencanakan jalur pejalan kaki yang aman dan nyaman. Berdasarkan hasil analisis terkait penentuan prioritas indikator dalam merencanakan jalur pejalan kaki yang meliputi analisis preferensi pejalan kaki dan preferensi para ahli terkait tingkat keamanan dan kenyamanan, terdapat perbedaan terhadap penentuan prioritas indikator dalam merencanakan jalur pejalan kaki. Berdasarkan preferensi pejalan kaki, peniadaan hambatan/penghalang dan keberadaan street furniture sebagai prioritas utama indikator, di sisi lain kondisi permukaan (tekstur) dan aksesibilitas sebagai prioritas utama indikator yang disampaikan oleh para ahli.

“…The results showed that when locating sites for work premises that are walkable and when also applying some policies at the same areas, then the employees become influenced to actively commute to their work more often. Also, Yu (2015) examined pedestrian injury severity indicating that individual characteristics, road environments and area characteristics around the crash location affect the pedestrian injury positively. Further, ZunigaTeran et al (2017) suggested a "Walkability Framework" to be used as a model to measure interactions between built environment and physical activity.…”

Active transportation and physical activity is a major remedy to health-related problems in our society. According to the World Health Organization, the lack of physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality as well as health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular complications and other diseases that are threatening public health. To reduce the health risks of physical inactivity, active transportation, and in general physical activity have recently gained great interest in our modern societies. This paper investigates the main factors that enhance active transportation and the impact on commuters' health, wellbeing and urban sustainability. As a result, a theoretical framework is developed that explores the relevant variables that influence commuter's willingness for active mobility.
