Abstract: In order to support the implementation of public transportation, an understanding of people’s interest in walking is essential. The farther people’s walking distance means public transportation will have a larger catchment area. This study aims to get parameters that can be used to improve walking distance in Balikpapan (Indonesia). Data collection in this study was carried out through stated preference surveys to 800 respondents divided into 400 motorcycle users and 400 car users. The data were analysed using the Binary Logistics Regression Analysis method, and the result shows that the respondent’s walking distance was 300 meters with a probability of 47% (motorcycle) and 59% (car). The result shows that two aspects significantly influence the willingness to walk, comfort and aesthetics. So, the strategies that are prepared to increase willingness to walk can be started by providing street furniture to support the comfort aspect and planting trees and plants to add aesthetic value.
