Spatial Transformation Analysis in Menganti Subdistrict: A Study of Peri-Urban Area Typologies in the Face of Urban Expansion

Abstract

The swift urbanization of Indonesian cities, notably Surabaya, has spurred population growth and a heightened demand for land, leading to the expansion of urban areas into peri-urban regions like Menganti District. This district, bordering Surabaya, experiences significant land-use change shaped by the city’s expansion, making it a compelling area for analysis due to its complex dynamics. This study aims to analyze Menganti’s peri-urban spatial transformation and its typology based on the land-use triangle continuum theory. Using indicators like land-use proportions, building density, and educational and healthcare facility distribution, the analysis delineates four zones: Urban fringe, Urban-Rural fringe, Rural-Urban fringe, and Rural-fringe zones. The analysis further involves comparing land-use maps from 2017 and 2022, revealing that Urban fringe and Rural fringe zones primarily witness residential land use growth, while Urban-Rural fringe and Rural-Urban fringe display a mix of residential, industrial, commercial, and warehouse land use growth. Analyzing factors influencing spatial transformation in Menganti’s peri-urban area through Delphi and AHP techniques underscores elements like trend of land-use change, road networks, trade facilities, distance from the district center and Surabaya city, and land prices as pivotal influences. Understanding these dynamics aids in comprehending the evolving landscape and guiding sustainable development strategies in peri-urban regions experiencing urban expansion.
