Growth of Landuse System at the Transport-Stop Node on the Axis of Development (original) (raw)

The growth of local nodes along axis of development, has occurred in many cases such as in history of growth of cities in the world, from ancient Rome to the modern era. One of the local node on the axis of development is a transport-stop node (TSN) on the axis of development. Almost all of theories and models can not provide adequate explanation toward the phenomenon. The closest theory which explains the phenomenon is "Development Axes Theory" that stated first by Pottier in 1963. But this theory provide inadequately explanation about how the growth of local node (includeing TSN) on development axis (DA), can grow dominantly influenced by flow of goods and people on the axis of development, become larger settlements which can then become the central place to serve the surrounding area. This paper reports the result of research focused to answer the research question on how the growth of land use system at the TSN on development axis (TSN on DA). Method used to explore the growth of the landuse system, is retrospective method in period of 5 years interval of growth on the case study of TSN Baitul Amanah Mosque (Itje mosque) and around. Collecting data was done by indepth interview, survey to each of building owner or manager, direct observation toward the recent condition of landuse system, and documentation by using photograph, satelite images, and other documents. We found that the first initial factor which has influenced the growing process at the area of TSN Baitul Amanah and around is the existance of mosque of Baitul Amanah since 1990. The mosque of Baitul Amanah has been the first main attraction which then will contribute to the agregate value of "Attractiveness" of the TSN that will attract the movement (flow of people on DA) to decide to stop at the TSN. And then the informal bussiness will grow sporadically at the first stage, that will be more well-organized or ordered by themself at the later stage. And then the circular process and principle of cumulative causation have occured in the next period with "Attractiveness" of the TSN as significant factors of the growth of TSN. The growth of TSN to be larger settlement will grow in 5 stages of growth. If all of the stages of growth was occur in the first 5 years period since the first main attraction build and operated, the TSN has great opportunity to grow become larger settlement. The existance of the mosque as facility/service at the TSN on axis of development, as the first main factor of the growth of TSN is the main difference of the classical model of Myrdalian-Cumulativ Causation Model (M-CCM). And the concept of "Attractiveness", informal role to the growth, 5 stages of growth, and also the speed of growth of TSN become larger settlement, are other differences of the finding of this research toward the classical model of M-CCM.
