Citiesreview 19: Perbandingan Pola Kemacetan Jakarta dan Kota Bandung Berdasarkan Analisis SMART-MOVE

Citiesreview 19: A Comparison of Traffic Congestion Patterns in Jakarta and Bandung City Based on SMART-MOVE Analysis examines congestion as a complex urban mobility issue that cannot be understood in the same way across different cities. Rather than viewing congestion solely as the result of vehicle volume, the study approaches it as a spatial phenomenon shaped by activity patterns, road network structure, the distribution of urban centers, and daily travel behavior. Through SMART-MOVE, the article compares the characteristics of congestion in Jakarta and Bandung by analyzing how mobility patterns are linked to the broader urban structure of each city.

Authored by Yohana Silalahi, the article demonstrates how SMART-MOVE can be used to assess and compare urban congestion in a more nuanced and evidence-based way. By mapping congestion in relation to activities, networks, and spatial structure, the study highlights the value of SMART-MOVE as an analytical tool for developing transportation strategies that are more contextual, responsive, and grounded in urban realities. The findings reinforce the importance of understanding congestion not merely as a transport problem, but as an expression of how each city functions and evolves.
