Spatial Rearrangement of Manufacturing Industrial Zones Based on MCDM in Mojokerto Regency. Case Study Northern Mojokerto Region

Abstract

Abstract Mojokerto Regency is part of the national strategic area (Gerbangkertasusila) in East Java. Gerbangkertasusila serves as the driving force behind East Java’s economy, with the manufacturing industry becoming the prime mover as it contributes to 2022 GRDP by 56.68 percent. The spatial plan of Mojokerto Regency includes the development of an industrial estate in the northern part, specifically in Jetis and Dawarblandong Districts, covering a total area of 8.553 hectares. However, the government’s attempt to make industrial estates has only been realized by 2.65% since 2012. This research aims to assess the suitability of space allocation within the industrial estates in the northern region of Mojokerto. The research method uses spatial analysis approach, multi criteria decision making (MCDM). Spatial data were obtained through RBI and Bhumi ATR, also Mojokerto Regency’s RTRW as comparative data to assess the suitability of industrial locations. This study also considers other spatial aspects, such as projections of land use based on cellular automata, population, infrastructure, transportation, and physical conditions. Analysis result shows that the allocation of space requirements for industrial estate development is 1,081 hectares or 12.64 percent of the original plan. The area is much smaller than the planned area in the Mojokerto Regency’s RTRW. The study identifies four potential locations for Industrial Estate development in the northern Mojokerto region, consisting of two in Jetis District and two in Dawarblandong District. The research results can be an input for the industrial cluster development in the northern Mojokerto region.
