The tsunami incident in 2004, in Aceh, was killed around 230,000 people and destroyed more than 1,000 buildings. Many accidents also occurred related to the earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia. For example, when the big earthquakes happened in Padang City, people evacuated themselves by using cars or motorbikes (motorized movement). It created a problem; and became worse when the movement was not effective. All research related to evacuation movement suggested that walking is better than moving using vehicles. Thus, people who will evacuate by walking should be supported by good and sufficient infrastructure, such as the path. Up to recent time, there has been no research conducted in relation to finding the solution this problem. Therefore, this article reports on the research that focused on the parameters of the path design. The validity and reliability of the test, were measured by experts. The research respondents filled the form and their responses were taken as the data analyzed to get the parameters, indicators, and levels based on the adjustment of BNPB (National Agency of Disaster Management) and GWI (Global Walkability Indicators) guidelines. In conclusion, the four parameters: walking path mode conflict, availability of walking path, amenities, and obstruction were found. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
