Abstract

This study investigates street network connectivity in an informal settlement, Kampong Taman Sari, Bandung. It refers generally to the informal residential area with minimum facilities and urban services. The majority of this settlement depict irregular patterns and narrow paths or alleys. Thus, kampong inhabitants mainly rely on walking, biking, and riding motorcycles to access key urban features and functions. This purpose study is to examine the potential connectivity not only for accessibility but also for evacuation movement in an informal settlement. This investigation also aims to understand an associative relation between street-network configuration and informal settlement patterns with the probability distribution of pedestrian movement. This study utilizes computational street network analysis through the space syntax method that consists of two distinctive evaluations, such as axial analysis and visual graph analysis. The following result depicts the spatial accessibility, integration, permeability, and walkability as well as connectivity based on this relation. Experimenting in modelling a walkable kampong in the urban environment will conduce to urban design qualities of street environment and street network layout for pedestrians or users. © 2023, Petra Christian University.
