On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, Six Saspandi successfully defended his closed thesis examination with the thesis titled “Development of the Giri Adipura Bus Terminal Area, Wonogiri, as a Green Transit-Oriented Development (Green TOD)”, under the supervision of Dr. Dyah Titisari Widyastuti, S.T., MUDD (supervisor), Prof. Ir. Bambang Hari Wibisono, MUP, M.Sc., Ph.D. (examiner 1), and Dr. Eng. Ir. Muhammad Sani Roychansyah, S.T., M.Eng. (examiner 2).
This research explores the potential development of the Giri Adipura Terminal in Wonogiri as a Green TOD within an area of 115.19 hectares, focusing on a 400-meter core zone and an 800-meter secondary zone. Supported by a Building Coverage Ratio (BCR) of 23.16%, a density of 78 people/ha, and Green Open Space (GOS) of 23.58%, the area faces challenges such as the dominance of private vehicles and the absence of certified green buildings. Strategies include increasing spatial intensity, optimizing GOS between 20–40%, and promoting mixed-use development based on transit. Implementation is planned in stages through a micro-scale approach, public green spaces, and mixed-use functions, while adapting to local constraints such as LSD zones. Community participation and cross-sector coordination are essential, with incentives such as ticket discounts and environmentally friendly designs to support ecological and social balance.
Saspandi’s research contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities through the provision and development of sustainable transportation, and Goal 13: Climate Action through green building design and supporting carbon emission reduction by encouraging public transportation.
