Abstract :

Rapid urbanization and increasing dependence on private vehicles have intensified sustainability challenges in metropolitan areas of Indonesia, making TOD a strategic policy response. However, the success of TOD initiatives is highly contingent upon public acceptance and perception. This study aims to examine how green urbanism influences public perception of TOD within the context of Indonesian transportation policy. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected through an online survey administered to residents of the Greater Jakarta metropolitan area, yielding 219 valid responses. The study measured key constructs including green urbanism, environmental concern, environmental responsibility, and public perception of TOD using a Likert-scale instrument. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to assess the relationships among variables. The results demonstrate that green urbanism exerts a significant and positive effect on public perception of TOD, indicating that individuals who value environmentally sustainable urban practices are more likely to support transit-oriented policies. These findings suggest that environmental values play a critical role in shaping societal responses to transportation reforms. The study concludes that integrating green urbanism principles into TOD planning is essential for enhancing public support and policy effectiveness. From a policy perspective, the results underscore the importance of embedding sustainability-oriented narratives and community-oriented environmental strategies in urban transportation planning to ensure long-term viability and public legitimacy.
