Transit-Oriented Development: An Approach to Sustainable Development Locus: Jatinegara Station, East Jakarta

Abstract

The rapid rate of population growth is a critical problem worldwide. The increase in population causes many problems, especially in the provision of housing with limited land in urban areas. These problems cause disruption of the social environment and reduce the quality of the environment. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is one of the alternative solutions in solving these problems, with the concept of city development that maximizes diverse and integrated land use by promoting healthy lifestyles through walking and cycling and maximizing the use of mass transportation modes. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of knowing the application of TOD development for planning to achieve a sustainable city. This study reveals how transit-oriented development design and policies help in achieving sustainable development despite having to maintain high density. With this research, it is hoped that it can provide input to local governments, especially the East Jakarta City Planning Service in the context of structuring and developing the Jatinegara station area.
