Determination Model of Suitable Coastal Transit-Oriented Development Location, Case Study: Paotere, Makassar

Abstract

Commuter and local society, the users of Paotere local port who took round trip to small islands and other island as well, experienced redundancy of cost, time and travel distance in fulfilling their whole needs at the shore of Makassar. Traveling by using motorized vehicle at the shore of Makassar was taken due to the unavailability of needed goods in the port and its neighborhood within radius 500 meters. This research is aimed at establishing determination model of suitable location for spatial planning of coastal Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in order to eliminate redundancy of cost, time and travel distance. It applied expert system and spatial analysis method based on geographic information system (GIS). The result showed that the most suitable location for coastal TOD development was in local Port and its neighborhood, it was at some grids, 581-585 and 540-542 within walking radius. Used determination model was determination in which, relied on highest value of the location with supports from its neighborhood location as well and the correlation among; certainty factor, commuter’s activity and local society.
