Potential development of transit areas that are in synergy with environment (case study: Tanjung barat TOD, Jakarta)

Abstract

TOD is an urban development approach that integrates mixed spatial planning including housing, shops, markets, sports facilities, offices, open spaces and public facilities with mass transportation, such as buses, trains and equipped with pedestrian or bicycle lanes. The congestion problem that occurs in Jakarta can be reduced by TOD on the supporting area that has a significant impact on environmental pollution, high social costs, and energy waste. The problem arises because there is no balance between transportation needs and the provision of facilities and infrastructure, thus it ultimately impacts changes in land use. This research focuses on the area around the Tanjung Barat station, where apartments are being built with the TOD concept. The research method employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The data used were primary and secondary data. The results of research indicate that the construction of Tanjung Barat TOD is a dilemma for DKI Jakarta Government, because it has the potential to violate spatial rules. In addition, a congestion level that occurs can increase, although the government expects that with Tanjung Barat TOD, congestion levels can be reduced because passengers who live in TOD apartments switch to public transportation modes.
