Peran Persebaran Halte Transjakarta Secara Spasial terhadap Kebutuhan Penduduk: Perbelanjaan dan Wisata Jakarta Pusat

Abstract

This study examined the spatial distribution of Transjakarta bus stops in relation to the population’s needs for accessing shopping centers and tourist destinations in Central Jakarta. The main issue addressed was the extent to which the spatial coverage of Transjakarta stops served areas with high levels of economic and social activity. A descriptive-quantitative approach was applied using spatial analysis supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The data included Transjakarta stop points, shopping and tourism locations, and population density by subdistrict. The analysis involved buffering techniques with radii of 300 m, 500 m, and 1000 m from each stop, overlaid with demographic and activity data. The results indicated that the distribution of Transjakarta stops was concentrated along major urban corridors and had not yet adequately reached high-density areas or secondary economic zones. Buffers of 300–500 meters revealed limited coverage, while 1000-meter buffers encompassed a wider area but were not entirely efficient in terms of physical accessibility. The study concluded that spatial inequality persisted in Transjakarta services and emphasized the need for additional spatially-informed planning to enhance the equity of public transportation access.
