The thermal condition of the pedestrian corridor is essential to create a comfortable walking experience. The objective of this study was to analyze the thermal comfort of the pedestrian corridors at Jalan Kyai Tapa concerning the landscape composition, including vegetation structure and pavement. This study was conducted quantitatively. This study identified the vegetation structure, including the tree species, canopy diameter, and height. Then, we measured the air temperature and relative humidity at predetermined measurement points to evaluate thermal comfort using the Temperature Humidity Index (THI). The results showed that the air temperature ranges from 31.01°C to 31.54°C, and the relative humidity ranges from 56.19% to 57.74%. The average THI value is 28.52 °C, which falls into the comfortable category. Despite having relatively wide canopies and providing shade, the trees in this pedestrian corridor do not seem to improve the thermal environment enough to achieve comfortable conditions for pedestrians.
