Space Syntax Analysis for Assessment of TOD Area

Abstract

Currently, there are standards for planning of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas. These standards are published by various research institutions and governments in various developed countries. In Indonesia, the standard for planning for transit-oriented areas usually refers to the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR) number 16 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for the Development of Transit Oriented Areas. The research aims to find an instrument to assess the proposed development of a city area into a TOD area. There are currently many proposals for the development of the TOD area in Greater Jakarta and other big cities in Indonesia, because several areas around the planned mass public transport station are suitable to be developed as a TOD area. The construction of the MRT and LRT lines is the trigger for this development. The local government will be assisted by instrument in the process of evaluating the proposed TOD area plan, whether it will comply with the rules of a transit-oriented area. The research begins by selecting a series of TOD area design criteria that are suitable to economic, social, and climatic conditions in Indonesia. The selected criteria were tested by using the space syntax method to assess the existing areas that were planned to be developed. The results of the assessment of the existing area are then compared with the assessment of the area according to the proposed plan.
