Carrying capacity of transit-oriented development (TOD) area in Jakarta

Abstract

Abstract Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban development concept that is carried out in Jakarta. The development of urban areas with the TOD concept needs to consider land and water as a support system called the environmental carrying capacity concept. Therefore, this research is conducted to analyze the environmental carrying capacity in the TOD area based on land capability and water availability. The land capability is analyzed based on the elevation, slope, and subsidence, while water availability is analyzed based on groundwater quality and water supply. This research is conducted in the Dukuh Atas TOD area as part of the Jakarta MRT track phase 1. The GIS overlay analysis is used to determine the environmental carrying capacity of the TOD area. The results show that the TOD area is in excellent land capability but inadequate water availability due to its low groundwater quality. Nevertheless, water availability is still in good condition due to the local water company’s supply. Therefore, the environmental carrying capacity of the TOD areas has not exceeded.
