Abstract

Abstract: As one of the fastest growing countries with the largest population in the ASEAN region, cities in Indonesia are constantly evolving and changing. Although the current political establishment is planning to relocate the country?s capital to the Kalimantan island, comparative research on Indonesian cities is very limited. Indonesia is an archipelago country that consists of 17,508 islands and at least 514 urban areas, of which 98 of them can be categorized as cities. This paper will focus on examining variations in provincial capital cities from Indonesia?s 6 regions: Sumatera, Java-Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku-Papua. The paper uses OpenStreetMap (OSM) vector datasets to study the geometric properties of street centerlines and the regression techniques on the Landsat satellite images of these cities processed in GIS to study land-use patterns. The paper also uses the method of patterns classification from volunteered geographic information systems (VGI) to study street orientational patterns utilizing OSMnx. Finally, the paper uses space syntax methods to describe the topological features of natural street networks of the cities. The results of this study show that there are statistically significant regional variations among cities in Indonesia. They also show that street network orientations are correlated with global integration values indicating that movement potentials could be affected by spatial shape patterns in these cities.

Muhammad Fajri Romdhoni

is a doctoral candidate from the University of Kansas. He is an Indonesian architect that received his Bachelor’s degree from Parahyangan University, got his Engineering Master's degree from Bandung Institute of Technology, and a Masters's of Arts from the University of Kansas. He has been practicing architecture and also teaching architecture at the University of Sriwijaya, Palembang Indonesia. Romdhoni's interest lies in applied architecture, digital spatial morphology, architecture heritage and revitalization, juxtaposition, GIS technology, Urban Design, and Urban geometry. He is currently pursuing a graduate Ph.D. at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Design under the Fulbright Scholarship.

Mahbub Rashid, School of Architecture and Design, University of Kansas

is a tenured full professor in the School of Architecture and Design at the University of Kansas. Presently, he serves as the Interim Dean and the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies of the school, and the Director of the MA and Ph.D. programs in architecture. With a Master's from MIT and a Ph.D. from Georgia Tech, DR. Rashid is an expert in theories and methods of architectural research with a focus on the structures of built form and space. He uses an innovative spatial and social network, fractal, and statistical analysis along with more traditional research methods and methodologies to study the effects of built form and space on human behavior, psychology, society, and culture in the office, healthcare, and urban environments.
