Abstract

Large private new towns draw housing into adjoining peri-urban villages whose roads were built for local circulation, yet the accessibility effects of this spill-over remain little examined. This study examines how formal housing development affects road accessibility in Buaran Sub-District, a peri-urban area adjoining Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) City in South Tangerang, Indonesia. It asks how land use changed between 2010 and 2022, what characterises the formal housing complexes built during this period, and how this development has affected the surrounding road network. The study combines a comparison of 2010 and 2022 land use/land cover maps, a field inventory of 23 formal housing complexes and 16 road segments, and semi-structured interviews with eight residents. Housing area increased by 29.20 hectares, whereas road area increased by only 4.91 hectares. Nineteen of the complexes occupy less than two hectares, and at least nine completed complexes are smaller than the 5,000 m² minimum set by local regulation. Most complexes rely on existing neighbourhood roads 3–4 metres wide, and congestion is concentrated on narrow segments that serve as through-routes to BSD City and neighbouring sub-districts. The findings reveal an implementation gap between the statutory spatial plan and development practice. Three policy entry points are proposed: verifying the minimum site area during spatial-use conformity and building approval; requiring a minimum access-road width based on national housing standards; and operationalising the city’s 2022–2042 Detailed Spatial Plan. The study shows how small, fragmented housing projects strain infrastructure in peri-urban areas shaped by large planned townships.
