Integrating Ui Greenmetric and Walkability Standards: A Factor Analysis of Pedestrian-Friendly Sidewalk Design in a Tropical Campus Environment

Background - The decline in walking interest on campus is an unresolved issue. Through this study, factors that influence walking intention by integrating the Walkability Index and UI GreenMetric standards are identified.Methodology-The measuring instrument for data collection in the form of a questionnaire was distributed to 110 respondents at Padang State University. The data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and PCA with Varimax Rotation.Results - As a result, 5 factors were identified with their eigenvalues for pedestrian-friendly sidewalk design, namely: comfort (6.867), technical suitability (2.200), accessibility (1.662), safety (1.156), and sidewalk dimensions (1.142), with a KMO value of 0.823.Conclusion - Comfort is the most dominant factor that infrastructure planners can prioritize by focusing on elements that enhance it, such as the availability of supporting facilities, minimizing mode conflicts, and path cleanliness.
