Abstract

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is the key guidelines of urban planning for sustainable development. Incidentally, the success of applying this concept needs to be regulated and enforced in accordance with the policy framework at all levels of implementation. The research objectives consisting three goals; (1) to analyze TOD policy framework in regional, urban and local level; (2) to define potential of policy implementation, readiness and constrains relating to implementation authorities; and (3) to suggest TOD policy framework which is practical to local competency for development. Thus, from attitude surveying with consideration of efficiency, availability, interest, and readiness to deploy policy the policy recommendations can synthesize as 5 dimensions of development including; (1) policy framework; (2) spatial development; (3) transportation development; (4) creative economy development; and (5) Residential and public. In addition the research findings, revealed some gaps to adopt policy framework through practiced due to inconsistencies in the scope of each sector and lack of consideration on policies support, comprise of (1) policy framework for spatial economic development and (2) policy frameworks to apply on Transit-Oriented Development. Resulting in the characteristic of Transit-Oriented Development in the current situation which could not achieve in the determining of the development from policy framework. Finally, it was obviously seen that the proximity area of transit station was developed and driven on the environment of market mechanism which could not guide urban development to be sustainable growth.
