Abstract

Although the industry 4.0 has already disrupted the conventional business by e-commerce, the real office is still needed. The extended urbanization phenomenon proves that some new urbanization areas have appeared near the central city. However, the local government often difficult to handle this phenomenon because of the regulation and the human resource capacity in a small city. There is a need to a new central business district to handle the economic growth of such peri-urban region. Therefore, in this study the new central business districts are proposed in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). The case study is multi-scale, consist of city, peri-urban and rural areas. Some criteria are proposed, i.e. near to support facilities, main road, markets, residential area, as well as far from risk areas, hill, and population. These criteria are prepared as thematic maps using GIS tools before weight overlay calculation in MCDM model. Result shows some suitable locations as central business district, i.e. Cikarang subdistricts (central, north, west, and south of Cikarang) and some areas near the Bekasi City. The result is in-line with the new Cikarang autonomous city which has been proposed by local city planners of Bekasi.
