Keywords:
Supporting Facilities, Area Attractiveness, Outer Ring Road, Urban Development, SustainabilityAbstract
This study aims to analyze the supporting facilities that contribute to the attractiveness and functionality of the Aek Kanopan Outer Ring Road as part of urban area development. The research employs a qualitative method using field studies, direct observations, and interviews with relevant stakeholders and local communities. The findings reveal that supporting facilities such as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, street lighting, drainage systems, green spaces, rest areas, and MSME facilities are mostly unavailable or not functioning optimally. This condition affects the comfort, safety, and overall appeal of the area. The main constraints in developing these facilities include technical, social, and institutional factors. Effective and sustainable development of supporting facilities through integrated planning, community participation, inter-agency coordination, and environmentally friendly principles has proven to enhance the area’s attractiveness, road function, and local economic potential. This study provides strategic recommendations for local governments and urban planners to improve the quality of public spaces and urban transportation corridors in Aek Kanopan.
