Abstract:
The Sudirman Street Corridor of Tanjung Pura City, Langkat Regency, is a route that passes through
several cultural heritage points determined by the government, namely the Azizi Mosque, the Tomb
of national hero Tengku Amir Hamzah and the Old Tanjung Pura city area. As a historical area with a
strong architectural character, the corridor is likely to be developed as a cultural heritage-based tourism
area. Still, the current pedestrian conditions are uncomfortable because they do not have pedestrian
paths that connect each other between regions. Therefore, this study will qualitatively explain the
physical condition of pedestrians in the Tanjung Pura Old Town Area (Sudirman Road Corridor)
Langkat Regency. Results from this research are expected to be a consideration to revitalize the
Tanjung Pura Old Town area, especially on the pedestrian path, by considering the existence of
existing cultural heritage buildings. The criteria for pedestrian assessment refer to the PUPR
Regulation No.03/PRT/M/2014. This study uses descriptive qualitative research to describe the
condition of pedestrian paths in the corridor of Sudirman Street. The study results found that the
pedestrian path in the corridor of Sudirman Street does not match the assessment criteria, so
improvements are needed. It was found that there were many problems in the pedestrian paths, both in
terms of the materials used and the arrangement of the pedestrian path. In addition, pedestrian paths
also look unsafe to use. The study results become a reference in considering revitalizing pedestrian
paths, considering that the area is a cultural heritage area that needs to be preserved.
