Determining the potential for Transit Oriented Development along the MRT Jakarta corridor

Abstract

In this research, we measured the current conditions of proposed TOD areas in thirteen MRT stations in Jakarta to determine the potential TOD development. These thirteen stations were divided into three types based on environmental characteristics of the station location such as CBD, urban, and neighbourhood characteristics. The 5D of built environment variables were used as indicators to examine the potential of TOD areas. Then, stakeholders were involved to fit and weigh the indicators. TOD indexes for each station were examined to identify potential improvement strategies. Each station is classified as having a high, medium or low TOD index. By understanding the specific strategies for different TOD indexes, this paper is intended to support those development areas to improve local urban development towards higher levels of TOD.
