Abstract

Measuring performance of Sustainable Urban Transport is an important effort to face the challenges of future trends. This study used Geographic Information System (GIS) application for modelling the performance of Sustainable Urban Transport (SUT) in the Jakarta city Region (JCR). The GIS applications include identifying the existing performance of SUT in Jakarta city, exploring the relationships between indicators of SUT, and producing a prediction model of SUT. Research methods used in this study were GIS techniques with geo-reference, classifications, polygon to raster, re-classifications, sum-weighted, ordinary least square (OLS), exploratory regression, and geographic weighted regression (GWR). The results revealed that the SUT model have more capability in measuring the performance of SUTs spatially and simply. This model is to visualize the effect of the indicator on the SUT performance and its influence, respectively. The results of this study also discovered that the JCR’s Sustainable Urban Transport Performance was in medium level. The outputs of this modelling were useful for evaluating the level of SUT performances in the city based on districts area. Overall, this study provides valuable information on the SUT performance of the JCR, also highlights some important challenges faced in the future of SUT program development.

Highlights

  • Rapid urban growth has resulted in constant haphazard urban condition as well as land use and transportation issues, such as urban sprawl and congestion

  • How are the current performances of sustainable urban transport in Jakarta city? How can GIS be used for model Sustainable Urban Transport performances in Jakarta city? the purpose of this study is to model the basic indicators used to measure the performance of sustainable urban transport using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Jakarta city

  • This study focuses on the measure of performance of Sustainable Urban Transport based on five basic indicators such as traffic congestion, traffic accident, traffic air pollution, traffic noise pollution, and land consumption for transport infrastructure

Summary

Introduction

Rapid urban growth has resulted in constant haphazard urban condition as well as land use and transportation issues, such as urban sprawl and congestion. Urban transportation is the main factor that requires performance measurement to determine the level of quality in providing services to users. How the urban transport follows the concept of sustainable development needs to be found [1]. The assessment is needed to go to the stage in the form of management. Measurements of these indicators should be clearly quantifiable based on field data and outlined in spatial output. Identifying the relationship among indicators will help the researchers to understand clearly the chain of cause and effect of each sustainability issue [2]. Some spatial analytical issues in GIS on transportation have been explored by Miller [3]
