Livability, Semarang Regency, Urban Area, Rural AreaAbstract
Urbanization has triggered major changes in the spatial system, both in urban and rural areas. Semarang Regency as a buffer zone for Semarang City is experiencing growth pressures that cause livability disparities between regions. This study aims to examine the spatial system that supports the livability of urban and rural areas in Semarang Regency. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method based on secondary data analysis from spatial planning documents. The results of the study show that urban areas have relatively higher livability than rural areas, especially in terms of infrastructure and access to public services. However, spatial disparities, limited connectivity, and lack of planning integration are major challenges. A development strategy based on local potential, strengthening of rural-urban connectivity, and increasing community participation are needed to increase livability evenly throughout Semarang Regency.
