Abstract


Providing pedestrian pathways in tourist areas that align with the type of tourism and its typology is an effort to maximize the service for tourists. Tourists in religious areas have distinct characteristics, often arriving in groups. This study aims to analyze the design of pedestrian pathways based on the tourist typology of Menara Kudus Religious Tourism in order to facilitate circulation and support the mobility of visiting tourists. The research method to achieve this objective combines quantitative and qualitative methods, utilizing descriptive and cross-tabulation analysis techniques to determine the typology of tourists, the existing condition of pedestrian pathways, and the circulation of tourist patterns. This study shows that the existing condition of pedestrian pathways does not align with the typology of tourists due to narrow paths and the lack of differentiation between pedestrian pathways, motorcyclists, and street vendors. Additionally, the circulation patterns of tourists within the tourist area show that they enter and exit through the same pathways. These factors hinder the circulation and mobility of tourists during their visit. Therefore, the design of alternative pedestrian routes is recommended to address the hindrances to circulation and mobility and provide safe and comfortable pedestrian pathways for tourists.
