Determination of Factors in Developing Urban Forests into Transit-Oriented Development Areas

The Velodrome forest area is located in the suburbs of Malang City. The Ki Ageng Gribig road corridor on the border of Malang City and Malang Regency supports this area. This area has a fairly complex function and is a transportation hub for the eastern part of Malang City, connected to other important hubs. The hub that can be used as a transit is the Madyopuro sub-terminal. This terminal can be developed more optimally in its function and role with various transportation interests that serve the community inside and outside the area. This article determines the nine factors contributing to developing the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area in the Velodrome City Forest area. The determination refers to Transit Oriented Development (TOD) standards, previous studies, and identifying the area's potential. These factors include Walk, Cycle, Connect, Traditional, Transit, Mix, Densify, Compact, and Shift. These factors are arranged in an assessment instrument that can be carried out further and in-depth in the next research stage. This study also obtained 53 sub-factors, which technically explain the nine factors that have been determined. The assessment is carried out by accommodating respondents' opinions, namely users and parties involved in the Velodrome City Forest area and its surroundings. Further research needs to consider integration with other areas that have the potential to be developed into TOD areas.
