Transportasi darat memiliki peran penting dalam mendukung mobilitas masyarakat serta menunjang pemerataan pembangunan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Terminal Tipe A merupakan simpul transportasi regional yang melayani angkutan antar kota antar provinsi (AKAP), antar kota dalam provinsi (AKDP), angkutan kota, dan angkutan perdesaan. Namun, kondisi terminal yang ada belum sepenuhnya mampu memberikan kenyamanan, kemudahan orientasi, serta efisiensi pelayanan bagi pengguna, terutama dalam hal penataan ruang, sirkulasi, dan kualitas ruang publik.
Perancangan Terminal Tipe A Banda Aceh berlokasi Jl. Dr. Ir. T. Muhammad Hasan No. 31, Batoh, Kecamatan Banda Raya, Kota Banda Aceh, pada lahan seluas ±4,33 hektare dengan menerapkan tema arsitektur kontemporer. Pendekatan ini bertujuan menghadirkan bangunan terminal yang modern, fungsional, dan berorientasi pada kenyamanan pengguna melalui pengolahan massa bangunan sebagai satu kesatuan, kejelasan zonasi, serta keterpaduan antara ruang dalam dan ruang luar.
Metode perancangan dilakukan melalui analisis tapak, kebutuhan ruang, sistem sirkulasi kendaraan dan pejalan kaki, serta sistem utilitas bangunan. Prinsip arsitektur kontemporer diwujudkan melalui gubahan massa yang ekspresif dan dinamis, penggunaan fasad transparan, penerapan konsep ruang terbuka, serta penguatan aspek kenyamanan termal dan visual sesuai dengan iklim tropis.
Hasil perancangan diharapkan mampu menghasilkan Terminal Tipe A di Banda Aceh yang aman, nyaman, efisien, dan berkarakter, sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan transportasi darat serta memperkuat peran Banda Aceh sebagai pusat mobilitas regional.

Land transportation plays an essential role in supporting community mobility while promoting equitable development and economic growth. A Type A Passenger Terminal serves as a regional transportation hub that accommodates intercity interprovincial (AKAP), intercity intraprovincial (AKDP), urban, and rural public transportation services. However, existing terminal conditions have not fully provided user comfort, clear wayfinding, or efficient services, particularly in terms of spatial organization, circulation, and the quality of public spaces. The design of the Type A Passenger Terminal in Banda Aceh is located at Jl. Dr. Ir. T. Muhammad Hasan No. 31, Batoh, Banda Raya District, Banda Aceh City, on a site covering approximately 4.33 hectares. The project adopts a contemporary architectural approach to create a modern, functional terminal that prioritizes user comfort through an integrated building mass, clear zoning, and a harmonious relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design process was carried out through analyses of the site, spatial requirements, vehicle and pedestrian circulation systems, and building utility systems. The principles of contemporary architecture are reflected in the expressive and dynamic building form, the use of transparent façades, the application of open-space concepts, and the enhancement of thermal and visual comfort in response to the tropical climate. The proposed design is expected to produce a Type A Passenger Terminal in Banda Aceh that is safe, comfortable, efficient, and distinctive. Furthermore, it aims to improve the quality of land transportation services while strengthening Banda Aceh's role as a regional transportation hub.
