Abstract: The development of urban infrastructure in Indonesia is faced with increasingly complex problems, especially
with the conversion of open land into unuseful space. This research was generally aimed to design the corridor
of Ambawang with green infrastructure to obtain an ecological corridor room, meaning that there would be a
balance between urban development and environmental sustainability. The purpose of this research was to
analyze and predict the trend of development of a waking space in Ambawang corridor. This research also
analyzed and predicted the development of a built-up space in Ambawang corridor as well as the causal factors
and practices of growth settlements in metropolitan outskirts. This research used a qualitative-descriptive
research method through field observations covering identification for the purpose of building space and
infrastructure in Ambawang corridor. An analysis of existing conditions was done through the interpretation
of aerial photographs and thematic maps of 2016 to know the spread of the spatial space built in Ambawang
corridor. This research is expected to provide for policy-making with design guidelines (engineering
guidelines) for planning and designing space and infrastructure built in Ambawang corridor.
1 INTRODUCTION
The district of Sungai Ambawang is adjacent to the
district of Kuala Mandor B to the north, the district of
Sungai Raya to the south, the city of Pontianak to the
west, and the regency of Sanggau to the east. This
research was based on the results of previous studies
that have formulated the direction of the Ambawang
corridor policy which is linked to the Spatial Plan of
Kuburaya regency for the direction of the
development of Ambawang corridor as a cross-
provincial transportation route.
As how its future strategicness is predicted, in the
future, there will be space growth along the road as
well as population growth which will lead to an
increased amount of built space. This urges the need
for a built-up space that have been set to avoid
sporadic development. Stakeholder involvement
(Oberg, 2016) is also highly important to the
structuring of Ambawang corridor on this Trans-
Kalimantan Road.
An interesting phenomenon related to the
development of suburban settlements in the Trans-
Kalimantan Road corridor is the development of
suburban settlements. This development gives a bad
impression that it is not adequate as a city housing
environment or tends to have a decreased carrying
capacity and that it forms an irregular settlement pattern.
The purpose of this study was to analyze and
predict the development of the space built in
Ambawang corridor as well as the causes and
practices of the growth of settlements on the
metropolitan outskirts. The existing supporting
facilities made available for fulfilling space needs in
the Trans-Kalimantan Road corridor are generally
inadequate, necessitating a design guideline for
planning and designing this area. This planning is also
related as a guideline for the development of
Ambawang District as an agropolitan area by utilizing
undeveloped land as urban agriculture land. This has
become very important because the district spatial
plan is not yet optimal in developing this area. This
planning takes into consideration built space and
undeveloped space as a unity that support each other
to develop this area as an agropolitan areaBe advised
that papers in a technically unsuitable form will be
returned for retyping. After returned the manuscript
must be appropriately modified.

2 METHODS
This research was conducted through a field survey
by interviewing several informants and through
institutional surveys with scientific, legal, and
empirical studies on performance measurement
models that had already existed and/or had been
implemented based on the literature. Questionnaires
aimed at residents who lived along the corridor of the
Trans-Kalimantan Road in five villages of Sungai
Ambawang District were developed to find out the
quality of the space in Ambawang corridor. As many
as 20 questionnaires were disseminated to each
village. The villages surveyed were Ambawang
Kuala Village, Jawa Tengah Village, Durian Village,
Korek Village, and Lingga Village. The location
serving as the object of the regional research was the
area along the Trans-Ambawang crossing that crosses
Sungai Ambawang district. In much of the area to the
left and right of this road are various activities, from
residential, educational, health, office, public open
space, and trading to service activities, such as
activities in markets, banks, shops, workshops, stalls
(kios), and inns. Therefore it was chosen to be used as
a city.
3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The Trans-Kalimantan corridor is part of the primary
collector lane that connects Pontianak City to Landak
Regency and Tapat Fogapaten. This made this
corridor the main route of movement from and to
Ambawang River and its surroundings. With its role
as a main circulation lane, it is not surprising that the
vehicles passing through this corridor were very
diverse. The Trans-Kalimantan corridor was
characterized by a space that is quite diverse in terms
of mass of buildings/functions existing along it. There
was a space filled by residential buildings that begin
to change functions on the left and right of the road.
It was occupied by multifunctional buildings in the
form of residential or retail buildings as well as
buildings such as shophouses, street vendors, and
plantations. Closer to the city center the corridor
space had a different character as it predominantly
functioned as a residential and retail area with a
smaller scale of buildings. The corridor space was
occupied by residential and retail buildings located
close to the city center. The settlements in the Sungai
Ambawang area were mostly developed by local
developers, and a small portion of them were built
independently by local communities. Settlements and
economic activities in the Sungai Ambawang area
developed along the side of the collector road on the
Trans-Kalimantan road, which is, administratively,
directly adjacent to Pontianak City.
Based on the built area, housing in the Sungai
Ambawang area included a type of small-scale
housing. Housing complexes were built per lane with
the width of the complex of plots ranging from 35 m
to 45 m. In general, there were two typologies of
settlements in the Sungai Ambawang area, namely 1)
stage houses—houses with wooden stake foundations
(stick poles), which are traditional houses of the
Pontianak community but currently are being
abandoned/in demand by the community and existing
in a very small number and 2) tapak houses—houses
with river lane foundations, similar to the houses on
Java. The site was developed by developers and was
garnering pretty much interest from the community.
Among the main strategic positions of the area
along the Trans-Kalimantan road were hinterland or
peripheral area and part of the metropolitan area of
Pontianak City. There was a high demand from
commuters for a place to live in and a center for
warehousing in the Sungai Ambawang area. This was
partly due to the availability of large enough land,
accessibility, and the distance from pontianak city
center which is still affordable. Settlements’ being
located on the outskirts of the city, comfortable
atmosphere, and beautiful environment with low
noise levels provided an added value to the Sungai
Ambawang area as an alternative choice of residence.
The arrangement of proportional and less densed
residential areas in the center of the city (Pontianak),
the availability of adequate settlement facilities and
infrastructure, as well as the booming economic
activities made this area the hinterland area with
faster growth compared to other hinterland regions
(Sungai Kakap and Seberang region), especially in
the housing and trading/services sector. The relatively
low price of land also had an impact on the price per
unit of housing that is relatively cheap and affordable
to the community. The following are the findings of a
quantitative analysis of Sungai Ambawang district
which are the priority for the development of the
corridor area.

An analysis of the space pattern of Sei Ambawang
District was an analysis of the distribution of space
allotment in the area, which included the analysis of
the designation of space for protection functions and
the analysis of the designation of space for cultivation
functions.The analysis of the space pattern of Sei
Ambawang District functions as the following:
a. allocation for the community’s socio-economic
activities and environmental conservation
activities;
b. regulator of the balance and harmony of space
allocation;
c. a basis for the 10-year program indication; and
The Impact of Land Use Change and Factors Affecting the Settlements in Ambawang Corridor
29
d. a basis for granting space utilization permits.
In the Sei Ambawang District Road corridor,
settlements, trade, and services, as well as
development of existing oil palm plantations have
been established. Judging from the pattern of space,
the following characteristics were identified:
a. commercial activities were centered in the city
center;
b. settlement activities developed in agricultural and
plantation areas; and
c. the development of agropolitan areas provided a
place for plantation production.
With regard to the floating area of Sei Ambawang
District, in accordance with the directions above, the
development concept was to utilize the land in Sei
Ambawang District as certain spots, with an emphasis
being placed on the area of the east cross-road
corridor of Sei Ambawang District. Based on the
existing conditions in Sei Ambawang District, the use
of land had yet to be optimal. The land was designated
to be used as productive cultivation areas, such as
rubber plantations and oil palm plantations in several
villages and areas for trading/services and
government activities or other social activities.
Economic activities are regularly conducted by all
residents on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, in order to
provide economic services, it is necessary to analyze
economic facilities such as markets, banks, rental
services, cooperatives, among others. In Sungai
Ambawang District, the economic facilities such as
shops and stalls/kiosks in 2015 were arguably very
adequate. Shop service and stalls (kios), restaurants
with the scope of housing environment services. In
2025, there will be additions to the existing market
facilities, and it is expected that the facilities added
will be more evenly distributed, so that all residents
can be served. Commercial areas were concentrated
along the collector road from Ambawang River
(Trans-Kalimantan Road) to the capital city of
Pontianak. As a primary function facility (service
scale at the district level), commercial areas were
arranged on the sides of the collector road connecting
traffic between districts.
The presence of markets, shops/kiosks, and
restaurants on the sides of new arterial roads will be
able to trigger regional growth. This is due to the fact
that market, restaurants, and shops/kiosks serve as
centers of activity. It will be able to trigger the growth
of the area from the undeveloped land to the built land
of the surrounding land. Agglomeration or clustering
of commercial functions (markets, shops) in close
proximity will become the main attraction of a region.
Economic means do not always stand alone and are
separate from other building facilities. The provision
of such facilities is based on not only the size of the
population that will be served, but also the approach
of design of spatial units or existing environmental
groups. This can be related to the formation of the
building/block groups according to the context of the
environment. The facilities will be provided for the
villages in need. The extent to which economic
facilities are needed for the following year is outlined
in table 6.

According to the table above, we can see that in
2015, there was only 1 market, and there is no
addition each year. However, there is a need for two
additional markets for 2025. Meanwhile, there were
202 stores / kiosks/grocery in 2015, and the number
is not projected to increase for 2025. As for
lodging/hotel facilities, as is the case with market,
there is no addition every year, but there is a need for
two additional lodging/hotel facilities. In 2015, there
were 12 restaurants, and the number will increase
with an addition of 95 restaurants by 2025. In
Ambawang District, based on the 2015 data, there
was only 1 bank, and no addition is projected for
2025. In this analysis, there is no annual addition, but
in the coming years, with the increase in population
size, the bank will be easily accessible by the people
of Ambawang District in 2025.
4 CONCLUSIONS
Urban Cultivation Areas, namely urban cultivation
areas that can be developed in Sei Ambawang District
in accordance with the policy direction of Kubu Raya
Regency development, are areas for residential
activities, which, in this case, include housing and
business premises (trade, offices, etc.) at the
local/district service scale. They are distributed in
every village in Sei Ambawang District with a pattern
of development following the transportation route
and the centers of economic activities, district
government services, industrial areas, and trading and
services that support the economic activities.
Plantation & Agriculture Cultivation Areas,
including the plantation & agricultural cultivation
areas which can be developed in Sei Ambawang
District in accordance with the policy direction for
Kubu Raya Regency development, are areas for
annual plantation activities for oil palm, rubber, and
several other commodities.
The development of suburban settlements is
reflected in the appearance of the housing
environment according to the typological
characteristics of the development of settlement
groups, both regular and irregular, so that a strategy
is needed in developing a road structure that connects
the parcels to the main road access, namely the Trans-
Kalimantant corridor.
Based on the development potentials and the
problems mentioned above, it is necessary to plan the
development of the region by preparing a Sei
Subdistrict development master plan. Ambawang is
an area that is on the crossroads and the urban areas
development. The planning area covers the
administrative district area, namely Sei Ambawang
District.
