Space Syntax Analysis of Visitor Navigability and Wayfinding Intervention Recommendations at Pasar Modern Bintaro

Abstract: Pasar Modern Bintaro, a professionally managed urban public market in Bintaro Jaya, Indonesia, faced spatial navigation challenges, especially for first-time visitors. Despite its clean and organized environment, the market’s internal layout lacked effective signage, clear spatial zoning, and visible landmarks, which often led to user disorientation. This study examined how the market’s spatial configuration influenced wayfinding using a qualitative-descriptive approach, combining field observations, visitor interviews, and spatial analysis through space syntax methods, specifically axial map and visibility graph analysis (VGA) using DepthmapX software. The findings revealed low spatial intelligibility in several areas, particularly in kiosk and shop zones, due to poor visual connectivity and inconsistent gate signage. Based on the analysis, the study proposed spatially driven wayfinding interventions, such as repositioning gate signage for visibility from the parking area, regulating tenant signage placement, and introducing multi-directional hanging signs with clear visual cues. These interventions were expected to improve visual legibility, user orientation, and circulation efficiency within the market. The research demonstrated the potential of integrating space syntax analysis in public market design to support intuitive and inclusive navigation systems, ultimately enhancing visitor experience and spatial accessibility.
