Abstract
Development of a toll road infrastructure serves as a hub for growth centers and global connections, on the other side, this infrastructure development will instead break local connections and further marginalize lower-class society. Trying to prove the thought, this paper aims to analyze the impact of Semarang - Solo toll road construction on socio-spatial communities in Kandangan Village. This research utilizes livelihood asset variables in the form of social capital, human capital, financial capital, natural resource capital, and physical capital. The method used in this research is the analysis of settlement patterns utilizing GIS, and regression analysis that served to know the size of the socio-spatial disintegration that occurred after construction. The results show that the spatial impacts caused by toll road construction resulted in the physical changes of settlements in Kandangan Village which can be seen from the changes in settlement patterns between the period of 2011 and 2017. Meanwhile, the social impacts show the characteristics of the five livelihood assets that change after the construction of the toll road. The findings of this study indicate that Kandangan village experiences socio-spatial disintegration with moderate levels. Although Kandangan Village has a moderate socio-spatial disintegration level, it doesn’t cause social conflict.

Summary
The toll road construction is an alternative from the government to smoothen the traffic flow in a developed region, to improve good and service distribution that supports the economic growth of a region, and to reduce the government’s financial burden through road users’ participation. The construction of a toll road based on Graham and Marvin [3] is a privatization effort on public infrastructure practiced by the developer or private party to accommodate medium to high-class vehicle owners. Toll road functions as the connector between the center of economic growth and it is to improve the global connection such as to broaden urban area, enhance good and service flow; yet it the other hand, infrastructure construction is possible to cut the local connections and marginalize the low-class society even further [3]. In splintering-urbanism terms, this phenomenon is called “local-dis-connections”
