Parametric Simulation as a Tool for Observing Relationships between Parcel and Regulations in Unplanned Commercial Corridor

The development processes of residential areas by several developers are not integrated. They tend to create spaces that are not well connected. The connection between two or more development areas (which is used as main access) grows into a commercial corridor that shows irregularities. To control the development in such commercial corridor, the government has set certain regulation. This study aims to examine the relationship between the characters of parcel and those certain regulations. The characters of parcel consist of (among others) dimensions and geometric shapes. The aforementioned relationship will result in certain mass and form. This analysis is done through simulation using certain regulations as parameter. Those regulations are Building Coverage Ratio (BCR), Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and Building Setback. The simulation process is applied to the existing parcel and the object of study is a commercial corridor between Serpong and Tangerang areas.
