“…Other researcher has paid attention to the relationship between employment suburbanization and the growth of reversed commuting in the weekday travel behavior of working residents in Paris [6]. The findings of the research have confirmed that the choice of transport depends on the workplace, and the gentrification of the municipality of Paris linked to its capacity to attract highqualified jobs and to its proximity to sub-centers.…”

The phenomenon of sprawl has been a huge issue since the beginning of the 20 th century and is characterized by rapid and unbalanced settlement development, with transportation network, particularly in the suburban areas. Academic research has explained the linkage strategy between transportation network and urban planning. However, insufficient empirical verification has been carried out to reduce this phenomenon by using the integrated approach of space-transport development. This paper focuses on analyzing the improvement of public transport supply incorporated in the settlement development. The improvement of public transport (PT) is designed by planning Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rapid Transit (LRT), Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and feeder systems. The impact of PT improvement has an effect on the settlement development. In addition, creating a balance between employment and population density is designed as an alternative to urban spatial strategy. These approaches are necessary in order to analyze and to evaluate the many alternatives proposed as a solution to overcome this phenomenon. The conclusions reveal that the requirement for linkage space-transport development strategy in order to control settlement in the suburbs has to involve reduction of 35% in travel time and to increase doubling of the use of PT.

“…Failure because of poor planning differs from market failures and corresponding policies. The former relies largely on coping with market needs, while the latter focuses on internalising external costs such as the development of new projects of pulloutwards forces and traffic congestion (Brueckner, 2000;Terzi and Bo¨len, 2011). The quality-based push-out force is affected by characteristics that downgrade liveability and increase living costs in city centres, such as housing prices and crime rates (Cullen and Levitt, 1999).…”

This paper focuses on resolving a defect of population-based urban sprawl analysis from a landuse planning perspective. This defect is indicated for a few metropolitan areas, which have experienced a controversial phenomenon of population decentralisation but with potential household centralising force. With the emphasis on household movement, this paper first aims to clarify the role of populations, households and employment that characterises urban sprawl and to check if unmet housing demand in city centres can be identified. Second, we evaluate the influence of household distribution factors, such as unmet housing and land-use related factors, on spatialstructure-based compactness/sprawl, taking time lag into consideration. A new classification of urban forms is developed to identify potential residential centripetal market forces. Additionally, the housing demand generation-distribution + push-accessibility-pull (GD+PAP) analysis framework is applied. The results of an empirical study on the Taipei metropolitan area between 1980-1990 and 1990-2000 suggest that the most significant policy towards compactness is high density. We recommend a prioritisation in city centres, particularly when housing demand is underserved.

Abstract-The phenomenon of urban sprawl has been a huge issue since the beginning of 20 th century and is characterized by rapid and unbalanced settlement development, with transportation network, particularly in the suburban areas. Academic researches have explained the linkage strategy between transportation network and urban planning. However, insufficient empirical verification has been carried out to reduce this phenomenon by using the integrated approach of space-transport development. This paper focuses on analyzing the improvement of public transport (PT)system strategies. The research is analyzed by using microscopic data and by distributing questionnaires in order to assess the impact of settlement development in the suburbs. The impact of PT improvement has an effect on the settlement. The conclusions reveal that the requirement to improve PT-system should be facilitated together with the expanding settlement development. The combination of PT-system has to be involved to reduce 35% in travel time and to increase doubling of the use of public transport.Index Terms-Public transport, urban sprawl, settlement development, suburban area. I. INTRODUCTIONRegarding urban development, a city expands to the outskirts of an urban area. This phenomenon has occurred in Europe and over the world. Most cities in Indonesia, it has created broad serious problems since the beginning of 20th. Urban sprawl has several features which impact on a low density zone, dependence on the automobile, spatial mismatch and job sprawling [1]. Several efforts to minimize the impact of this phenomenon have been conducted based on the previous researches. Discussion has been carried out on how to overcome this phenomenon by integrating activities into high density areas and land-use mixes in order to reduce vehicular travel [2], by considering the transportation role in combating the problems related to urban sprawl [3], by considering the provision of a public transport system at the suburban destinations for Greater Dublin Area (GDA) [4].According to [5], the urban containment strategies are some of the best-known planning instruments for managing urban sprawl. These include greenbelt and urban growth boundaries as applied in Switzerland since 1970. The strategies, particularly the boundary, have restricted development to building zones and have promoted the increase of building density.
