activity center in an urban area will be able to change the structure of urban space in the
area where the construction of the center of activity is carried out (Mulyadi, 2021).
Changes in the structure of urban space will affect movement patterns and
ultimately burden an area's existing road network (Mulyadi, n.d.). The construction of
activity centers and the development of activity center areas on national roads will be
dominated by certain activities and services, which will undoubtedly cause a large enough
new movement to pull that will burden the national road network in urban areas; this new
movement pulls not only comes from the city area but also comes from outside the city
(Yulianyahya & Kasikoen, 2024). This can be interpreted as the fact that every change
in the field will also result in changes in the traffic system. Thus, a Traffic Impact Analysis
(ANDALALIN) is needed.
Surakarta City is a strategic area and is the center of the district and surrounding
activity nodes, namely Sukoharjo, Wonogiri, Klaten, Sragen, Boyolali, and Karanganyar.
This strategic position needs to be supported by adequate roles and functions to be a
lifeblood in the development process of Surakarta City (Nurandi & Setyorini, 2023). One
of the traffic problems in Surakarta City is increasing congestion. Congestion in Surakarta
City is caused by the growth of road infrastructure, with the unbalanced growth of
vehicles in Surakarta City being one of the causes. Traffic problems caused by an activity,
such as development that ends in congestion, can cause losses to the community. From
the observations, it can be seen that the welfare of the community is also affected by
congestion (Santoso, 2023). Congestion can drain time, reduce working/study hours,
reduce stress, waste fuel (Fuel Oil), and reduce income. The number of problems caused
by congestion is essential for the government to make a traffic-related policy to improve
road users' welfare.
The problems in Surakarta City show a need to optimize the implementation of
administrative policies related to Andalalin in every development process. Andalalin
documents submitted by developers must get Approval based on Consideration of the
Elements of the Andalalin Transportation Evaluation Technical Team (Rantung, Sompie,
& Jansen, 2015). Andalalin Results Approval is one of the requirements for developers
to obtain development permits from the Central Government and Regional Government
by laws and regulations. Andalalin is one of the studies used to identify traffic impacts
due to land use. This results in the generation and attraction of travel, affecting traffic on
road sections (Prasetyo, 2016).
Studies on andalalin have been regulated in laws and regulations, including Law
Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Transport Traffic, Perpu Number 2 of 2022
concerning Job Creation, Perpu Number 30 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of
the Field of Traffic and Road Transportation, Minister of Transportation Regulation
Number 17 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Traffic Impact Analysis,
Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of
Environmental Protection and Management. Any decision-making regarding Andalalin's
results must be based on the legal politics of the law on traffic and road transportation,
which explains that traffic and road transportation have a strategic role in supporting
