Abstract
The development of ring roads in Indonesia are not only as a means of transportation needs but also as a means for the urban regional development. Although it produces many economic benefits, this development produces many new problems, especially in metropolitan cities. The aim of this research is to formulate and describe the problems of ring road development in the metropolitan cities of Indonesia. The data collection was carried out through a survey and interview with related institutions in 7 cities, they are Medan, Palembang, Bandar Lampung, Surabaya, Makassar, Manado, and Jakarta. The result of this research shows that there are 23 problems found there. The most common problem found are the uncontrolled housing development (urban sprawl) and public transportation (occurs in 6 cities). The second most problems found are regional connectivity, ring road intersection, housing access, settlement facilities, and social problems (occurs in 5 cities). All the existing problems can be classified into 6 problem types, they are (1) problem of ring road preparation and construction, (2) problem of disobedience and inconsistency of regulation, (3) problem of spatial planning and urban development, (4) problem of housing growth and facilities provision, (5) problem of coordination among institution and regulatory synchronization, and (6) problem of environmental management related to the integration of ring road and settlement development.
Highlights
The high level of population in urban areas that are caused by both natural growth and urbanization impacts on the demand for infrastructures and settlements
The research aims at identifying the typology of the emerging problems as an impact of the ring road development in urban areas, especially in metropolitan cities in Indonesia
The typology of ring road development problems for metropolitan cities in Indonesia can be classified into 6 types of problems
Summary
The high level of population in urban areas that are caused by both natural growth and urbanization impacts on the demand for infrastructures and settlements. The development of ring road in urban areas recently has become phenomena taking place in some big cities in Indonesia. The development of ring road impacts the increasing of some new housing complexes. The lack of arrangement for the urban spatial of urban areas layout can cause the housing complex areas to experience the increase of road network load in some big cities in Indonesia [5]. Housing complex areas grow sporadically, in accordance with the development of the ring road network and it increases the ring road load so that it can be the cause of traffic jams. The research aims at identifying the typology of the emerging problems as an impact of the ring road development in urban areas, especially in metropolitan cities in Indonesia
