STRUCTURING THE AREA AROUND SOREANG–PASIRKOJA TOLL GATE

Abstract

The development of the area surrounding the Soreang–Pasirkoja Toll Gate, driven by increased infrastructure accessibility, has accelerated built-up growth that risks becoming unstructured and uncontrolled. This study aims to formulate an urban design-based spatial arrangement concept as a growth management instrument aligned with regional spatial planning policies. The research employs desk study, field observation, policy analysis, and conceptual design synthesis. The findings indicate that the area can be organized through a three-zone segmentation strategy—gateway zone, core corridor, and supporting corridor—supported by design parameters such as regulated building setback lines, a minimum 4-meter inclusive pedestrian pathway, strengthened streetscape elements, and the integration of informal activities through a spatio-temporal approach. This concept promotes the live, work, and play principle and reinforces comfort and image attributes to enhance public space quality and strengthen the area’s identity as the gateway to the capital of Bandung Regency. The study provides an operational basis for preparing urban design guidelines and integrating growth control mechanisms into local spatial planning documents.
