Influence of Commuter Preference on Mixed-Use within Transit-Oriented Development

The extensive circular mobility among daily commuters in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area is causing mobility inefficiencies, resulting in traffic congestion and economic and social losses. This situation stimulates the government to provide mixed-use housing in Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zones, aiming to foster sustainable mobility through a compact living framework. The current provisioning system has struggled to commuters effectively, leading to persistently high levels of circular mobility. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the commuter need on the mixed-use housing in TOAD areas and preferences for the provisioning system. This influence was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method, while preferences were analyzed using cross-tabulation. The preferences analysis referred to four indicators: ownership systems, price affordability, income, and unit size. The results showed that 65.94% of commuters expressed a need for mixed-use housing, stimulated by considerations such as travel distance and cost. Among all, 55.76% preferred a rental ownership system with a price of < 1 million IDR/month or 1-2 million IDR/month. The willingness to pay for the rental price depended on income levels. And those who want to buy, prefer the lowest price of the mixed-use housing. Those characteristics and preferences should been considered by the government or developer in obtaining the sustainable TOD areas.
