Rapid population growth and urbanization in Gresik Regency have triggered chronic transportation problems, resulting in severe congestion, limited public transportation, and unequal accessibility between regions. This study aims to identify the spatial distribution of congestion and formulate an initial integrated transportation planning strategy based on the transit-oriented development (TOD) framework, which prioritizes high-density mixed-use areas around public transit hubs to encourage public transportation use and walkability. We use a quantitative descriptive approach with multidimensional spatial analysis using Geographic Information System technology, a tool for capturing, managing, and analyzing spatial and geographic data. Our analysis includes buffering techniques—creating zones at set distances around transit points to assess their influence – and overlay analysis, which combines multiple layers of land use data to reveal spatial relationships. This study identifies four main congestion points on industrial and logistics roads. Private vehicles vastly outnumber mass transportation modes. As a solution, we propose developing a new bus stop network in which transportation nodes (key points where different transport modes intersect) are arranged to provide alternative routes. We also propose designing a transit-oriented development (TOD) area with a radius of 500-1,000 m, integrating office, commercial, and residential functions. We conclude that transit-oriented development TOD-based transportation planning is essential to improving mobility efficiency and ensuring equal accessibility in Gresik Regency. Our policy implications include recommendations for environmentally friendly infrastructure, stronger zoning regulations, and cross-sector synergy. These actions aim to reduce dependence on private vehicles. This research positions Gresik Regency as a strategic model for spatial transportation planning in a developing peri-industrial area with regions on the urban-rural fringe characterized by mixed land uses. We integrate GIS technology and the transit-oriented development (TOD) framework to transform irregular movement patterns into a structured and inclusive mobility system. © 2026, Silesian University of Technology.
