Abstract

Infrastructure plays an essential role in economic growth and development. Transportation, particularly road infrastructure, is critical in driving economic growth and community welfare. An efficient transportation system is closely linked to land use, as people’s mobility generates travel flows that must be adequately served. H. M. Sunan is a primary collector road located in Kepanjen District, Malang Regency. Traffic on H. M. Sunan is quite heavy because various land uses along this corridor affect road performance. The purpose of this study was to calculate the contribution of each land use and formulate alternative scenarios for improving road performance on this road. The analysis used is of land use contribution and traffic management analysis. The results showed that trade and service land use and industrial land use contributed the greatest to the corridor’s total volume. On weekdays, the highest volume of land use is trade and services, which is 686 units of vehicles/day; on weekends, the highest volume of land use is trade and services, which is 693 units of cars/day. The most influential traffic management is priority management, which is achieved by widening the pedestrian path. The results show that the traffic management scenario in the form of widening the pedestrian path can reduce the degree of saturation by 0.24 in the peak hour on weekdays, which occurs at 06.01–07.00 am, and by 0.17 in the peak hour on weekends, which occurs at 4.01–5.00 pm. © (2025), (International Journal on Advanced Science).
