As a public space frequented by tourists, comfort and safety during movement within the site rely heavily on the quality of its pedestrian pathways. Field observations reveal several issues, such as limited signage, uneven surfaces, and insufficient supporting facilities. This study evaluates the pedestrian accessibility at Alas Pala, Sangeh Village, Bali, to assess how effectively the pathways support safe, comfortable, and inclusive visitor movement. Employing a quantitative method with a descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and field documentation. The observed variables include pedestrian comfort, safety, and inclusiveness, based on visitor perceptions regarding physical conditions, supporting amenities, and access ease within the tourist area. Data were analyzed descriptively using Microsoft Excel to categorize and interpret questionnaire results and identify emerging patterns. Findings indicate that while most visitors experience relative comfort on the pedestrian paths, issues remain, such as inadequate directional signage, damaged trail sections, and a lack of supporting infrastructure. The evaluation offers recommendations for pathway improvements, additional amenities, and enhanced site cleanliness to boost overall visitor comfort and safety. These enhancements are expected to foster a more inclusive and pleasant tourism experience for all groups.
