Abstract

The phenomenon of urban sprawl is the expansion process of the physical appearance of the city, which generally moved outward to the suburbs through the appearance of the land being built. One of the factors of the expansion is population mobility which closely related the quality of the transportation infrastructure. The growth of urban development is influenced by the transportation system and has increased from time to time. Moreover, urban development is also influenced by the development of public bus transportation routes in Semarang City, Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to find out whether Trans Semarang Bus has an influence on land development in Semarang City. The methods used for this study are spatial analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) analysis. The results showed that the Trans Semarang Bus routes have an impact on the change of the land’s physical expansion and land prices along the service route, this is shown in the extensive development along with the road network. Overall, these findings indicate that the Trans Semarang Bus service route influenced the urban physical development due to increased accessibility on this route.
