Congestion charging is planned to be implemented in Jakarta, Indonesia to replace the current odd-even traffic policy. Even though motorcycles account for the largest component of traffic in Jakarta, at around 75.8%, few studies exist on the effects of policy changes on motorcycle commuter trips. At the moment, motorcyclists are explicitly excluded from the odd-even scheme, therefore research on their response to congestion charging is worth doing. The response of travelers to such a policy may include transport mode shifting, route diversion, or choosing not to travel. Most studies on the…

This study investigates the implementation of participatory mapping activities with indigenous communities to uncover their spatial understanding of environmental issues in regional context. By combining participatory GIS with a phenomenological approach, the research aims to extract critical environmental concerns and develop prioritization schemes for planning and conservation efforts, particularly in forest and small island communities. Two case studies were conducted: the Orang Rimba community in Jambi, Indonesia, and the Lovongai community in New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea.…

Urbanization in Java is characterized by processes that occur outside the boundaries of cities, particularly in the territories of regencies that are still perceived as non-urban districts. Using the case of Kudus Regency in Central Java Province, this study analyzed the urbanization process that takes place in Javanese regencies, highlighting the importance of the process outside of cities, especially in regencies with high urbanization levels. The analysis showed that the urbanization process is reflected in the spatial expansion of urbanized villages and the growing urban population in…

Every country has its own traditional place for trading fresh food known as the “marketplace.” In Indonesia, people refer to the marketplace as “traditional market.” Traditional markets encompass a variety of activities, such as buying and selling as well as social interactions and cultural features in rural and urban areas. Traditional markets are important for providing fresh produce to the local community and are mostly located close to residential areas. However, Indonesian traditional markets have experienced a decline due to the growth of modern markets, prompting the government to…

Understanding urban morphology is crucial for identifying energy inefficiencies and improving sustainable energy planning, especially in rapidly urbanizing cities. Urban morphology influences how electricity is distributed and consumed, while energy efficiency is a core target of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG-7). This study examined the relationship between urban morphology and electrification efficiency, using night-time light imagery as a proxy for energy distribution. NTL data combined with population data from WorldPOP were processed through zonal statistics in GIS to calculate…
