The study aimed to analyze the contribution of the agriculture sector to community welfare, especially in the Cirebon district. This research was conducted from August to October 2020 in the five sub-districts that produce GGM. Descriptive, quantitative field surveys were provided to 300 participants and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the agricultural sector has contributed to the GRDP, but the extent to which it does so varied between the five sub-districts. The agricultural sector in the Sedong and Greged sub district had the highest contribution to the GRDP, but they both have the lowest score on the Human Development Index (HDI). This suggested that the existence of a leading GRDP does not guarantee high community welfare in GGM producing areas. HDI was found to have a strong correlation to the GRDP of an area. Economic development affects community welfare as suggested by the HDI. \u0000Keywords: gedong gincu mango, human development index, gross regional domestic","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77564319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UNISBA lecture and administrative buildings are scattered in several locations. In architecture typo-morphology terms, a campus building with this environmental setting is often referred to as an urban campus. The high traffic flow on these roads, together with the intense conflict between road crossers, often results in congestion due to vehicle deceleration needed to allow pedestrian crossing. To facilitate the need for the movement for the users of the UNISBA campus buildings and minimize conflicts with road users, infrastructure that connects the UNISBA campus buildings is needed to facilitate pedestrian crossing. The pedestrian crossing could be in the form of a level crossing in the same elevation as the road or a non-level crossing situated above or under the road. The type of pedestrian crossing studied in this paper is a non-level pedestrian crossing in the form of a pedestrian bridge. In designing the infrastructure for non-level crossings, it is necessary to pay attention to the movement patterns that occur and the factors that influence willingness to use. This study aims to determine the movement pattern of UNISBA campus facility users consisting of students, lecturers, educational staff, and visitors by using quantitative origin-destination spatial analysis. Descriptive exploratory factor analysis was also used to determine the preferences of the users of the UNISBA campus buildings to use non-level crossings. The results of this analysis will be the basis for designing non-level accessibility between UNISBA campus buildings. \u0000Keywords: pedestrian crossing, pedestrian bridge, urban campus, urban design, urban mobiity","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80944157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
