Spaces & Flows: Ninth International Conference on Urban and ExtraUrban Studies

Abstract

Government’s consideration of the economic-equality result in new infrastructures outside the city. Paingan becomes favorable for educational purposes as a new economic center development. Unfortunately, there are no detailed policies and land-use plans for compact development. Each of education buildings is built spread across the area which contributes as a nucleus of urban growth. These infrastructures become a major catalyst of urban sprawl. This situation needs to be understood to deter sprawl development. In this study, high dependence on cars makes further developments influenced by road hierarchy. Nevertheless, the universities create a diverse population and agriculture’s plot size sells for new development making the urban structure in Kampong and the settlement rigid. This encourages more of the new or reconstruction in high-density and mix-use development which are the characters of a compact development. This paper discusses how the development of the education building in the fringe area contributes to a sprawl development. By unstructured visual observation, the justification for exploring urban evolution based on a comparison of limited satellite-image, urban forms, and architectural settings. This paper finds that the education buildings and road hierarchy are contributing to economic development, urban structure and sprawl to compact forms. The Infrastructures can shape sprawl to a compact development by limiting the economic attractiveness and the expansion of road network access to the education buildings while improving the accessibility and connectivity.
