ABSTRACT
The paper explores cyclists' behavior in Yogyakarta's Tugu area, a popular destination for cyclists on Sunday mornings. The analysis in this study was carried out quantitatively by mapping the number of cyclists' movements recorded during their peak periods at the place. This study maps out the behavior of cyclists, forming certain patterns and habits in the place. The research mapped that the peak activity is between 06:00 am and 08:00 am. They enter and exit the place in the four cardinal directions. Most of them come to the place from the east and exit to the south. The study also highlights the specific cyclists' behaviors, such as pausing to enjoy the atmosphere, gathering in groups, and taking pictures with the Tugu monument in the background. The southern part is the area where the most activities are concentrated. The research findings also show that some of the cyclists have a unique behavior when taking themselves pictures by choosing a spot as close to the Tugu monument as possible, even though it is dangerous because it is at a crossing point for motorized movement, to get a stunning photo due to the strong attraction of the monument. Furthermore, this study's findings can be utilized by city managers to organize the Tugu area as a landmark of Yogyakarta City.
