Abstract

Abstract

This research was conducted to find out: analyze the determination of the location of bus stop construction (Rapit Transit (BRT)), land use and public perception in BS 13 Lapangan Merdeka Medan city by using qualitative methods. Based on the response of the informant community as road users after the construction of the bus stop. It was found that the policy implementation process that has been taken is still not optimal for the BRT policy in Merdeka Square to be an alternative that serves to overcome traffic congestion in Medan City, especially on the corridor route that is passed such as Jalan Balai Kota-Kesawan. This makes the narrowing of the road that has become increasingly narrow in the City Hall which makes the Mebidang BRT Stop on Jalan Balai Kota Medan jammed for hours. There are several suggestions from the research, namely: based on the identification of the impact of site selection that will arise, it is necessary to organize and arrange road sections, and manage the area in accordance with the density of road users.
