Referring to the experiences of the current urban development, it seems that the process of suburbanization is an inseparable part of urban develo0pment. In addition, suburbanization has a big influence to the shift in the characteristic of the transportation system, especiallu in the fringe area. One important issue in this shift is the changes intrip length. This issue becomes important because in the process of suburbanization, there is a decline in the dependency of the fringe area to the central area. This phenomenon, obviously, can not be percieved in a simple way since the component of…

In Indonesia, the study on the correlation between land-use and transportation was started 21 cyears ago following similiar studies conducted by developed countries 43 years ago. The main purpose of these studies was to prepare an efficient transportation plan for a city or region in order to facilitate the increase in the traffic as the result of the growth of social-economic activities in the city in the future Due to inconsistency between plan and reality in the implementation phase, in the developed countries critiques on the failures of these studies emerged in the middle of 1970"²s, at…

Strong interaction between landuse and transportation system has been well and widely known by many transport planners. However, this concept is rarely being used in many transportation network planning projects. The parameter usually used is the trend of traffic growth. This kind of information is not very precise to be used for the transportation network development policy. This kind of information will give misleading results for the transportation network development policy.Basically, this interaction concept combines the regional development policy represented in the Regional Landuse…

The larger cities of Indonesia already suffer from traffic congestion while the economic development is still low compared to developed countries. The development of industries will trigger urbanization and increase the income per capita, which will almost certainly increase the mobility and motorisation of the society. This paper describes an attempt to make a global comparison about urban transportation, and proposes development directions which rely on public and mass transportation, with a dense network of not too wide roads. For this purpose the urban population density has to be…

Urban transportation analysis model has made great advances based on the development of computer technology. These improved capabilities will make possible for transportation analyst to deal more realistically with transportation problems and other problems in the urban spatial context. A new generation of spatial analysis models is being developed using modern GIS, such as the integration of landuse-transportation modeling based on GIS technology. This model will have a good prospect to be developed as a tool for urban spatial analysis.

Indonesia is an archipelago country with thousand of islands. Sea transportation has an important and strategic function, in particular, the national shipping. It is called

Belok Kiri Langsung (BKL) pada saat lampu lalu lintas menyala merah or Left Turn on Red (LTOR) on any road intersection is now confusing some drivers in this country who do not know or have never known the traffic related regulation. Indonesian Road Traffic and Transportation Law (UU No. 15/1992) with its Goverment Decrees established and issued by the President concerning the Infrastructure and Road Traffic, Peraturan Pe,erintah (PP) No. 43, 1993, article 59 paragraph 3 says that vehicles in any approach which has an LTOR sign displayed may turn left after stopping, providedit is safe to do…

As one of the promising tools within the traffic management schemes, parking control still need further research especiallu for its implementation in the developing countries city such as Jakarta. Specific characteristic of its physical, social, and economical nature need careful consideration before implementing parking control policy such as Rancangan Peraturan Daerah (Raperda) Perparkiran which apply the tariff variation system. This approach seems to hard to be implemented for this approach suffer from
