ABSTRACT

Compact city emerged as one of the concepts that opposed the concept of urban sprawl. Its primary objective relied on the greater densification of spatial use under the term called mix land-use to reduce energy consumption on mobility. Our article intended to delve into a study which relates electricity to Compact city. The focus is to quantitatively analyze the interdependence between Compact city and electricity efficiencies. Simpang Lima central business district (CBD) in Semarang city constituted the field study. This article employs positivistic approach that consists of cross-analyzing GIS-Nearest Neighbor analysis dedicated for spatial buffering analysis and ETAP technique devoted to calculating energy losses within the CBD cluster. Our findings imply such a primary hypothesis that the distribution of the buildings on a cluster thatcovered by the electricity supply from central substation positively affected the distribution efficiencies. A group of commercial building with minimum distance of 129.49 m among them in a cluster of 1,424.6 Ha poses an ability to save more than 0, 293%(11.411/Kwh) compared to another cluster. Thus, this research is a preliminary discussion that aims at enriching Compact city discussion by bringing forth the electricity sector as a considerable aspect.
