The extensive circular mobility among daily commuters in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area has resulted in mobility inefficiencies, traffic congestion, and significant economic and social losses. In response, the government has promoted mixed-use housing within Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zones to encourage sustainable mobility through compact living arrangements. However, the current housing provisioning system has not effectively addressed commuter needs, leading to persistently high levels of circular mobility.
This study analyzes the factors influencing commuter demand for mixed-use housing in TOD areas and examines preferences toward different housing provisioning systems. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed to assess influencing factors, while cross-tabulation analysis was used to evaluate preferences based on ownership systems, price affordability, income, and unit size.
The findings reveal that 65.94% of commuters expressed a need for mixed-use housing, driven primarily by travel distance and transportation costs. A majority (55.76%) preferred a rental ownership system, with an affordable price range below IDR 1 million to IDR 2 million per month. Willingness to pay for rental units was closely associated with income levels, while those preferring ownership favored the lowest available purchase prices. These characteristics and preferences should be carefully considered by policymakers and developers to enhance sustainable TOD implementation in Jakarta.
