Abstract

Abstract Pangkalpinang Plaza-Bangka Trade Center (BTC) Area is the largest commercial area in Pangkalpinang City. As the largest commercial area, this area causes a large pull of vehicle trips that needs a large number of parking spaces. Therefore, parking needs must be analyzed to provide sustainable parking lots in this area. This study aims to analyze parking needs for sustainable parking in Pangkalpinang Plaza-Bangka Trade Center (BTC) Area. In this research, the parking survey methods used are an inventory survey and a vehicle license plate survey. Parking needs analysis is reviewed based on parking volume and parking accumulation. Then, parking needs are determined based on the biggest interval between vehicle arrivals and departures from parking accumulation. The research finds that the amount of parking needs of on-street parking is 540 SRP for motorcycles and 120 SRP for passenger cars. Meanwhile, the amount of parking needs of off-street parking is 208 SRP for motorcycles in front of Ramayana and 238 SRP for motorcycles in basement Ramayana. Furthermore, these results will be useful for providing sustainable parking lots in Pangkalpinang Plaza – Bangka Trade Center (BTC) Area.
