Abstract
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is one of the public transportation that has various advantages such as fast, cheap, and flexible. That is what makes it the preferred public transportation in various countries. Likewise in Indonesia, many cities have used BRT as public transportation to support mobility for their communities, one of which is in the city of Semarang. BRT Trans Semarang began to be operated by the Semarang City Government in 2009 where only one corridor, namely the route (Penggaron - Mangkang), but currently, the total corridors that have been operating are 7 corridors. Among the 7 corridors that operate, the corridor one has the highest number of passengers. In 2017, the number of passengers was 288.045 passengers, and in 2018, the number of passengers increased to 301.539 passengers. Based on these data indicate that the movement of the community in the category has increased, so high accessibility in the 1st corridor. That high accessibility can impacts changes in land use. These changes include land use and activity. Including changes from non-built land to being built, green land becomes residential or industrial land etc. The analytical method used in this study is GIS analysis. The analysis is used to see how the development of land use before and after the implementation of BRT and what the impacts of BRT on land use change in Semarang.
