“…The first limitation is that only urban schools were selected for data collection. Behaviour across schools may vary somewhat, and also across urban and rural schools [66,67]. Both schools in this study are in a street with no central isolation zone, as these streets are often seen in most urban localities in Belgium.…”

Child Pedestrian Safety: Study of Street-Crossing Behaviour of Primary School Children with Adult Supervision

et al. 2022

Road traffic accidents are the primary cause of injuries and fatalities among children. The current study focuses on children’s (un)safe crossing behaviour in a real traffic situation accompanied by an adult at a crosswalk in front of their school. The study aims to investigate if there are differences in crossing behaviour related to road infrastructure (i.e., one-way and two-way street, elevated and non-elevated street crossing), the gender of the child, and the effect of the accompanying adult’s behaviour on the child’s crossing behaviour. Primary school children from two urban schools in Flanders (Belgium) were observed for three days while crossing the street in front of their school in the morning and afternoon. A total of 241 child–adult pairs were observed. Descriptive analysis, Pearson chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression models were used to find differences between groups. More than half of the crossings exhibited two or more unsafe behaviours. Not stopping at the curb before crossing was the most unsafe behaviour, exhibited by 47.7% of children; not looking for oncoming traffic before and during the crossing was the second most unsafe behaviour, exhibited by 39.4% of the children. The only difference between boys’ and girls’ crossing behaviour was in stopping at the curb with girls 1.901 times more likely to stop before crossing as compared to boys. Adults holding hands of the child resulted in safer behaviours by children. The children not holding hands displayed significantly riskier behaviour in running or hopping while crossing the street and being distracted. The study reinforces the need to improve the transportation system through infrastructural interventions (elevated crosswalks), as well as educating and training children and the parents on safe crossing behaviour in traffic.

“…Anak-anak membutuhkan sarana dan kegiatan untuk membantu pergerakan dan berkreasi. Pergerakan anak terutama di lingkungan sekolah adalah aktif (Makalew et al, 2017;Makalew et al, 2018;Mackett 2008) sehingga memerlukan penyaluran aktifitas. Sedangkan bagi guru, peningkatan ketrampilan dan keahlian dasar dalam membantu diri mereka untuk berkembang juga membantu dalam melatih siswa.…”

“…Jalur pejalan kaki anak sebagai salah satu fasilitas infrastruktur bagi anak memberikan prioritas kegiatan anak saat berjalan kaki termasuk berlari dan bermain (Makalew et al, 2017;Makalew et al, 2018;Makalew et al, 2019;Makalew et al, 2021). Produk paving berpori dikembangkan dengan mempertimbangkan keamanan, kenyamanan dan tekstur serta warna yang menarik bagi anak ; (Supit & Makalew, 2019).…”

Pengembangan hasil penelitian berkaitan dengan shelter pejalan kaki anak diimplementasikan dalam bentuk penerapan produk pada lokasi mitra Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) Kreasi Mandiri. Material yang dikembangkan untuk pembuatan shelter adalah material komposit dan kayu kelapa. Area sekolah yang digunakan siswa dan anak-anak pengunjung sekolah memerlukan tempat berteduh di luar ruangan yang aman, nyaman dan mengutamakan aktifitas anak. Kawasan sekolah SLB Kreasi Mandiri di desa Winangun Atas, belum memiliki shelter pejalan kaki anak yang memadai. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk menjelaskan tahapan penerapan produk shelter pejalan kaki dan menjelaskan perubahan yang terjadi akibat implementasi hasil penelitian pada sekolah SLB Kreasi Mandiri sebagai lokasi pengabdian. Metode yang digunakan adalah pembuatan shelter berdasarkan hasil penelitian disain dan konstruksi shelter. Pembuatan produk shelter dilakukan dengan penyediaan bahan sesuai panduan disain dan dikerjakan oleh pekerja ahli, tim pelaksana Politeknik Negeri Manado. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah tersedianya shelter pejalan kaki. Pembuatan shelter ini terdiri dari tahap pekerjaan persiapan, pembangunan konstruksi shelter, pekerjaan pengecatan dan pengaturan area sekitar shelter. Shelter dimanfaatkan oleh penghuni sekolah dan pengunjungnya sebagai fasilitas kegiatan luar ruang bagi siswa dan guru sekolah. Penerapan hasil penelitian menjadi terlaksana dan dimanfaatkan secara langsung oleh mitra pengabdian. Kelanjutan penerapan hasil penelitian menjadi evaluasi penggunaan shelter untuk ditingkatkan kualitasnya. Kegiatan Penerapan Usaha Produk Inovasi Vokasi (PUPIV) ini menjadi dasar bagi pihak sekolah dalam melanjutkan program pengembangan lingkungan sekolah dan produk ramah lingkungan lainnya. Penerapan hasil penelitian bagi masyarakat berupa shelter menjadi optimal dengan keterlibatan pihak pelaksana dan mitra. Penggunaan shelter memberikan hasil evaluasi penggunaan fasilitas secara optimal.

“…Several studies have analyzed the flow of pedestrian movement and walking speed, but only a few have focused on the dimensional requirements of their personal space, which exhibit different characteristics. Makalew et al, (2017) found that children pedestrians have different spatial dimensional requirements, depending on the characteristics of places in rural and urban areas.…”

Dimensions of the Pedestrians' Personal Territory in the "New Bendar 45" Urban Area in Manado – North Sulawesi, Indonesia

The New Bendar 45 area in Manado -North Sulawesi is a shopping and office center that provides territories or spaces for pedestrians. This research, therefore, aims to determine the dimensions of the pedestrian's personal territory by observing their behaviors at the location in the morning, afternoon, and evening with the use of video and photo cameras. Person-centered Mapping technique was used for the analysis with the help of AutoCAD program. There are 17 dimensions of pedestrian's personal territories found, each with varying behavioral characteristics. These results are therefore useful as a reference when planning the pedestrian space requirements in the urban areas.
