DETERMINING OF THE SUITABLE LOCATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COASTAL TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Basic needs of commuters from small islands, local society and tourists from several hotels have yet to be fully fulfilled within radius 500 meters from the four ports at Fort Rotterdam, Makassar. To fulfill them, they had to travel to the main shore of Makassar city using motorized vehicle which is redundant in distance, time and cost. This research is aimed at determining suitable location for the development of coastal Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Selected location could effectively prevent redundancy of distance, time and cost of the commuters, local society and tourists. Technique analysis applied Expert System, Fortran 90 application and Spatial Analysis test based on Geographic Information System. The result showed that location at Kayu Bangkoa neighborhood was selected as the most potential location for coastal TOD development.
