Railway Corridor, Ecology, PlanningAbstract
Railway buffer zones along Jalan Ngaglik, Surabaya have been converted into residential settlements, creating safety risks and disrupting train operations. This land-use change violates the original function of these areas as railway support zones. This study aims to identify causes of land-use changes along Ngaglik railway corridor and formulate design criteria for restoring buffer zone function as a green corridor supporting railway activities. The research uses qualitative descriptive methodology with post- positivism paradigm. Urban design methodology follows four stages: analysis, synthesis, appraisal, and decision-making to develop comprehensive design solutions. The "Eco Railway Corridor" concept transforms the area into active public spaces using eco- friendly design elements. Key features include locally-sourced vegetation for carbon absorption, granite retaining walls with railway-inspired patterns, energy-efficient LED lighting systems, and accessible infrastructure with ramps and stairs. The design addresses existing problems by restoring railway-edge areas as safe public spaces while maintaining environmental balance. The eco-friendly approach enhances area identity and provides functional benefits for residents. This planning creates harmonious integration between railway infrastructure and surrounding community needs, ensuring operational safety while offering aesthetic and recreational value for local residents.
