Spatial planning for potential green TOD using suitability analysis at the metropolitan region scale

Abstract

Public life is heavily influenced by the circulation and activity movements within the city. Transportation is one of the most influential factors in urban development. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is one of the most innovative concepts in urban development related to transportation system. This paper aims to prescript potential areas for spatial planning of green TOD using a combined method of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches to be implemented in Jakarta Metropolitan Region (JMR). Multi-indicator and weighting techniques were applied based on the perceived conclusions of the respective experts and professionals. Our analysis showed that the highly suitable class covered small area and TOD planning was focused in a specific area. The conclusion of this paper exhibited that there was a higher potential green TOD cluster occurred compared to its surrounding area. It meant that the ideally proportional balanced area for urban residential-commercial mixed use was in high preference of green TOD level.
