Urban Form Dynamics and Modelling towards Sustainable Hinterland Development in North Cianjur, Jakarta–Bandung Mega-Urban Region

Abstract

The urban form is the physical configuration of a city, developed over time and space. Urban form can be considered at different scales, from region to neighborhood, each carrying a different focus. North Cianjur serves as the hinterland and one of the conurbation corridors of the Jakarta–Bandung Mega-Urban Region, meaning that the balance between its function as an environmental buffer area and the destination of urban growth needs to be planned carefully. This paper explores the dynamics in North Cianjur and employs several model scenarios as a planning intervention using landscape dynamic tools and land-change modeling, with three scenarios employed: Business as Usual (BAU), Spatial Planning Policy (SPP), and Urban Containment (UCT). The result show that North Cianjur has transformed into a polycentric region with two urban zones, a peri-urban zone, and a rural zone in the northernmost part of the region. Urban form trends show a sprawling built-up pattern outside urban zones, and a compacted trend in urban zones due to expansion from the Jakarta and Bandung Metropolitan Area. UCT models appear to be the most optimal for implementation in North Cianjur, representing a way to accommodate urban growth and expansion inside the urban center while still maintaining regional sustainability.

Towards a sustainable new state capital (IKN): sustainable zoning plan formulation based on quantitative zoning approach

“…Lack of zoning is a common thing in protected areas in developing countries affect to the reduction function of the area [12].The zoning system is a determination of use and control of space into blocks/zones that have the ability to control urban sprawl as a result of the expansion of residential needs [13]. Quantitative zoning method is a zoning approach based on the similarity or homogeneity of an area by using several quantitative variables [13]. The quantitative zoning was introduced by Rustiadi and Kobayasi [14].…”

“…In this study, quantitative zoning becomes a tool that can explain which part of the development area of IKN should be zoned with several variable considerations. The result has several zones: urban, peri-urban, and rural which urban zones stand for center of activities in a region, peri-urban and rural zones being support system [13] .…”

“…Regional zoning plan as a decisive policy should consider the regional typology processes in determining the spatial policy [13]. This should be important because the urban area could affect the surrounding areas if the urban core couldn't accommodate the expansion itself.…”

Determining of peri-urban in rice production centers area: Case study in Karawang Regency, Indonesia

“…Based on the results of this analysis, it still requires elaboration to get a fixed peri-urban demarcation methodology. The spatial clustering approach allows it to be a good methodology for determining this peri-urban demarcation, such as the research of [27,51,52,53].…”

Spatial patterns analysis of land use changes using spatial metrics in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City 2023

“…A spatial metric is an approach that can be used to formulate spatial patterns of a regional morphology based on matrix values [17]. Spatial metrics can analyze an area's structure, shape, and spatial pattern at the patch, class of patch, and landscape levels [18]. Spatial metrics can also measure land cover change and identify urban forms and urban sprawl phenomena [17].…”
