Globalization And The Dynamics Of Urban Development In Indonesia
This paper investigates the impact of globalization on urban development in Indonesia by examining its multifaceted dimensions, including environmental sustainability, infrastructure provision, spatial planning, and regional collaboration. The study aims to assess how global frameworks, such as the New Urban Agenda (NUA), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUM), have shaped Indonesia’s urban policies and planning practices. Employing a descriptive-qualitative methodology supported by desk-based literature review, the research further incorporates comparative analysis with actual conditions, contextual developments, and events occurring within Indonesia. By reviewing historical trajectories, institutional frameworks, and policy instruments, the study highlights both the challenges and opportunities that globalization presents for urban governance. The findings demonstrate that globalization not only drives physical urban expansion but also transforms inter-city systems, influences strategic planning approaches, and necessitates integrated responses to environmental risks, technological shifts, and socio-economic inequalities. In addition, the paper addresses contemporary developments such as digital transformation, aerotropolis-oriented planning, and the urban implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in relation to spatial resilience. The study underscores the importance of adopting holistic, inclusive, and sustainability-driven planning paradigms to effectively respond to globalization. It concludes that Indonesian cities must be strategically embedded within global urban networks while simultaneously preserving local values and identities. Ultimately, the paper offers practical insights for urban planners and policymakers seeking to align global dynamics with national development priorities.

Identify The Location Of The Temporary Tsunami Evacuation Site In Ambulu Sub District, Jember Regency
Sumberejo Village in Ambulu District is a village located on the south coast of Jember Regency which has a high level of tsunami hazard. During the Banyuwangi tsunami in 1994, tsunami waves also hit Payangan and Watuulo beaches in Sumberejo Village. Until now, Sumberejo Village does not yet have a Tsunami Temporary Evacuation Site (TES). This study aims to identify a vertical TES location for a tsunami. Identification of TES locations is carried out with a Geographic Information System (GIS) using the overlay tool of several thematic maps. The results of the analysis show that several spots on the hills in Sumberejo met the requirements as TES locations when the tsunami occurred. Altitude is a very important variable in planning the location of a temporary tsunami evacuation site. Hilly locations with elevations above 20 meters and close to existing settlements can be developed as first priority TES locations, while hilly locations with elevations above 20 meters but far from existing settlements can be developed as second priority TES locations.
Analysis Of Roadside Activity Impacts On Urban Road Level Of Service: A Case Study Of The Pasar Cipanas Road Segment
This study investigates the impact of roadside activities on road performance along the Pasar Cipanas road segment, focusing on pedestrian movement, parking, and stopping of public and other vehicles, and vehicles entering and exiting adjacent properties. The research employs a quantitative approach, collecting primary data through field observations and traffic surveys to identify the frequency and characteristics of roadside activities. The results reveal that pedestrian activities are primarily caused by the occupation of sidewalks by street vendors, forcing pedestrians to use the roadway and increasing traffic conflicts. The lack of dedicated parking facilities leads to frequent parking and stopping of vehicles on the road, particularly in commercial areas, which significantly reduces road capacity and disrupts traffic flow. Additionally, the high intensity of vehicles entering and exiting adjacent commercial properties further contributes to congestion and safety risks. The study concludes that unmanaged roadside activities have a considerable negative impact on road performance and safety. These findings highlight the need for improved urban planning and the provision of supporting infrastructure, such as designated pedestrian paths and parking areas, to minimize roadside friction and enhance overall traffic efficiency and safety in the Pasar Cipanas area.
Appraising Urban Nature: A Case Study Of Seoul Forest Park
The case study appraises Seoul Forest Park, focusing on its design, features, and impact on the community. The purpose of the study is to analyze how the park integrates natural and man-made elements to provide a multifunctional urban space that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors. The approach involves examining various park components, including softscape elements like themed gardens and ecological fields, and hardscape features such as pathways, boardwalks, and cultural venues. The results highlight the park's success in promoting physical and mental well-being through outdoor activities, fostering community cohesion with social and cultural events, and advancing environmental education and conservation efforts. The study concludes that Seoul Forest Park is a model of urban planning, offering recreational, educational, and ecological benefits that contribute to a greener and more sustainable city environment.
Adaptive Urban Planning Strategies For Managing Coffee Shop Growth In Banda Aceh
This study investigates the spatial dynamics of coffee shop growth in Banda Aceh, focusing on Kuta Alam Sub-District, an area characterized by dense population and vibrant socio-economic activities. Aimed at assessing the conformity of coffee stall and coffee shop expansion with urban spatial planning, the research integrates Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial statistical techniques. The analysis method employed includes the Average Nearest Neighbour (ANN) analysis to determine spatial distribution patterns and overlay analysis to evaluate alignment with the city’s Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR). Primary data were collected through GPS-based field mapping of coffee stall and coffee shop locations, while secondary data comprised land-use zoning maps, demographic information, and official planning documents. Results indicate that coffee stalls are significantly clustered, particularly in culturally rooted residential zones, while modern coffee shops exhibit a less pronounced, more dispersed distribution concentrated around commercial nodes. Overlay analysis shows that although many establishments comply with permitted zoning categories, a notable number are situated in restricted zones, such as green corridors and defense areas—highlighting gaps in spatial regulation and enforcement. These findings underscore the need for adaptive urban planning strategies that balance economic growth with spatial order. Adaptive planning is needed—integrating coffee stalls with clear guidelines, improving infrastructure for coffee shops, and strengthening zoning compliance to preserve the district’s socio-spatial balance in Banda Aceh’s urban landscape.
