Abstract
One of the challenges in implementing the idea of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) around the Mass Public Transport System in tropical and humid regions is how to create comfortable outdoor thermal conditions for pedestrians. This study aims to model microclimate conditions and identify the level of thermal comfort in the main pedestrian pathway in the Dukuh Atas TOD area, Jakarta. Micro climate modeling and calculation of thermal comfort index based on Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) using ENVI-met software.
