Analysis of Circulation and Accessibility at the Marina Tower in Mangrove Ecotourism Gunung Anyar, Surabaya

The Marina Tower located within the Mangrove ecotourism area of Gunung Anyar, Surabaya, Indonesia functions as both a viewing point and an educational facility that strengthens visitors’ interaction with the surrounding natural environment. This study aims to analyze the circulation and accessibility aspects of the tower, focusing on visitor movement and the integration of the structure within its ecological context. The research employs direct observation, spatial mapping, and documentation of access routes leading to and within the tower. The findings show that the circulation design, both horizontal and vertical, provides an effective flow of movement while offering optimal visual connections to the mangrove landscape. However, certain accessibility challenges remain, such as narrow pathways and the lack of inclusive design features for people with disabilities. The study highlights the importance of planning circulation and accessibility in ecotourism facilities to create inclusive, sustainable spaces that harmonize with their natural surroundings.
