Abstract

Urban mobility has become a critical challenge in the era of rapid urbanization, characterized by traffic congestion, reliance on private vehicles, and high carbon emissions. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) emerges as an urban planning approach that integrates land use with public transportation to create sustainable, efficient, and pedestrian-friendly environments. This study aims to analyze the role of TOD in improving urban mobility, focusing on its impact on transportation efficiency, travel time, and community quality of life.

Using a case study in Denpasar, this research employs a mixed-methods approach, including spatial analysis, community surveys, and stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal that TOD significantly reduces dependence on private vehicles, enhances accessibility to public transportation, and promotes sustainable lifestyles. However, the implementation of TOD faces challenges such as a lack of cross- sectoral planning integration and public resistance to change.

This study recommends strengthening regulations, fostering collaboration between governments and private sectors, and increasing public awareness to support broader adoption of TOD. With these strategies, TOD has the potential to become a key solution in creating inclusive, connected, and sustainable cities for the future.
