Thermal comfort is one of the aspects that humans experience when engaging in outdoor activities. One of the factors influencing thermal comfort in a particular area is temperature. If the temperature in an area is too high, it can decrease the comfort of activities in that area. One common outdoor activity is walking. The level of satisfaction with walking in an area is called walkability. Therefore, thermal comfort can influence the level of walkability in an area. Walkability is primarily needed in areas with high human activity such as schools, stations, markets and hospitals. Jendral Ibrahim Adjie Street is a road with high human activity. This is marked by the existence of Kiaracondong Station and Kiaracondong Traditional Market which attract a lot of human activity every day. This is marked by the presence of Kiaracondong Station and Kiaracondong Market, which attract a lot of human activity every day. In addition, Ibrahim Adjie Street is a road with high motor vehicle activity because it connects two major roads in Bandung City, namely Jakarta Street and Gatot Subroto Street, and many public transportation routes pass through this road. Efforts that can be made to improve walkability in this area include designing the landscape in the corridor of Jendral Ibrahim Adjie Street using the concept of thermal comfort. The research method uses the ENVI-met application to simulate thermal comfort. The simulation results show the influence of landscape elements on thermal comfort including temperature, humidity and wind speed. A questionnaire containing road user perceptions was also taken to accompany the analysis results from ENVI-met. The results of the analysis then produce criteria and principles for landscape design in the Jalan Ibrahim Adjie corridor which can be used as design guidelines. It is hoped that the results of the design based on these guidelines can make the Jalan Ibrahim Adjie corridor more comfortable for pedestrians.
