Transportation plays a crucial role in community mobility. However, various transportation problems, such as congestion and low public interest in public transport, can hinder the movement and activities of the community. To address transportation problems in Palembang, the local government has developed an intermodal integration system with LRT as the central mode. Additionally, Palembang has become a pioneer in intermodal integration development in Indonesia. This study aims to identify the condition of physical intermodal transportation integration on LRT in Palembang City. The study consists of analyzation of the coverage area based on the intermodal integration of the LRT line with the routes of share taxis, BRT, and LRT feeders, as well as analyzation of the walkability level of pedestrian infrastructure around Demang Station. The analysis techniques used are spatial, qualitative, and quantitative analyses. The coverage area analysis was conducted through buffer analysis with a 400-meter radius as an assumed distance of a five-minute walk. The analysis of the walkability level was conducted through assessments at 33 road segments around the station based on nine modified GWI parameters. The results show that the service coverage from the intermodal integration of LRT with other modes is still limited to supporting community accessibility. There are still subdistricts and residential areas in each subdistrict that are not yet covered. The LRT feeder service coverage is also not extensive enough. The broadest service coverage is from the intermodal integration of the LRT line with share taxis routes. As a result of the walkability analysis around Demang Station, most road segments are highly walkable. According to the average score calculation of all segments, pedestrian infrastructure is also highly walkable, making it safe and comfortable for LRT users to transfer modes to/from Demang Station on foot. However, improvements in the condition and availability of disability-friendly infrastructure and amenities are needed.
