Public transport holds an important role in the mobilization of urban society. One of the infrastructure development strategy that could be utilized to meet public standards is by developing a centralized area of public transport nodes. To further ease users in their journey and ensure easy and cheap trips, the interchange area has to be integrated. Located in Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Central Jakarta as one of the main corridor of economic activity in Indonesia, Dukuh Atas Interchange Area becomes the busiest public transport interchange area in Jakarta. This area consists of six public transport nodes that serves five different modes and routes. To accomodate intermodal transfer requirements, the area has to provide facilities with adequate connectivity, integration, and accessibility. Integration problems occurs in the area are associated with accessibility of the connecting paths used by public user to switch over public transport modes. This research aims to determine the accessibility compatibility of intermodal connecting path in Dukuh Atas Interchange Area to accomodate the area as a public transport interchange based on design criteria and indicators. This research uses mixed-methods which combine qualitative and quantitative research method. Criteria and indicators used are obtained from the literature review and case study from previous practices. The study yields five criteria that must be fulfilled by the facility and area in order for to meet the requirements of the intended accessibility, which includes; visibility, comfort, safety, vertical circulation, and wayfinding and signage. These criteria are broken down into eleven components and forty-five indicators that are used to rate the existing facilities’ accessibility. The results are used to determine the accessibility compatibility of the five paths used by public user to switch over public transport modes in Dukuh Atas Interchange Area. Based on the obtained scores, design criteria most compatible with predetermined indicators are wayfinding and signage, followed by visibility, comfort, vertical circulation, and safety.
