Participatory approaches in creating a concept of healthy public transport facilities toward healthy community

The demand for public transport in developing countries nowadays is very high. Ironically, most of the public transport facilities including transit facilities in developing countries are often inconvenient, uncomfortable, and dangerous. Therefore, a proper guidance in developing public transport facilities is urgently needed. The study aimed to create a new concept of healthy passenger station based on stakeholder ideas and participation.

The study applied mixed methods with a sequential exploratory approach which used qualitative and quantitative approach respectively. The study consists of 3 phases; exploring the stakeholder's perceptions, forming a new concept of the healthy station, and applying the new concept. The healthy station must meet two main indicators; environmental indicators and social indicators. The concept consists of 4 classifications of the healthy station; Paripurna, Mandiri, Madya, and Pratama, respectively from the best to the worst condition.
