Perkembangan suatu kota merupakan salah satu bentuk kemajuan dan regenarasi dari kota tersebut. Berbagai faktor dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan kota diantaranya adanya perubahan dalam lingkup ruang kota, latar belakang, ekonomi, sosial, budaya, politik. Akan tetapi, terdapat beberapa permasalahan yang terjadi dalam tahapan perkembangan suatu kota, yakni pemusatan perkembangan pada suatu kawasan saja. Hal ini terjadi pada objek penelitian yang dikaji berupa pemusatan perkembangan kota pada wilayah yang mengalami transmigrasi saja, sehingga terjadi kesenjangan antara wilayah lokal dan wilayah eks transmigrasi dalam hal perkembangan kota. Pada fakta empiris di lapangan dapat terlihat bahwa pusat kota Rimbo Bujang sudah setara dengan ibukota kabupaten. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yakni penulis mengkaji bagaimana morfologi dan perkembangan pusat kota Rimbo Bujang dengan melihat latar belakang wilayah tersebut sebagai wilayah eks transmigrasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, dengan teknik deskriptif sebagai bentuk upaya mengeksplorasi lebih dalam terkait perkembangan terhadap morfologi pusat Kota Rimbo Bujang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan observasi langsung pada pusat kota Rimbo Bujang, melakukan studi literatur mengenai sejarah transmigrasi dan perkembangan kota melalui data sejarah serta melaksankan wawancara terhadap tokoh transmigrasi. Analisis elemen-elemen morfologi yang terdiri atas analisis terhadap tata guna lahan, bentuk massa banguna serta jaringan jalan dilakukan untuk memetakan perubahan dan perkembangan yang terjadi pada ruang kota. Analisis faktor fisik dan non fisik dilakukan untuk menjelaskan fenomena-fenomena yang terjadi dalam fase-fase perkembangan objek penelitian. Kegunaan dari penelitian diharapkan dapat diadaptasi pada proses perkembangan wilayah lokal yang merupakan wilayah yang tidak mengalami transmigrasi dalam hal perkembangan aspek fisik dan non fisik didalamnya.

The rapid growth of settlement in border areas is often considered as a problem of big cities in Indonesia, where people from rural areas prefer to move out and settle in the border areas of big cities due to the provision of better social facilities. Border areas generally do not receive adequate attention and are often overlooked by the local government. It is a common phenomenon in Indonesian cities, including in Semarang City. Increased number of settlements in the border areas in Semarang City is in linear with spontaneous urbanization processes which indicate the heterogeneity emerging of settlement areas. In the early stages of Semarang City spatial planning, the need for social facilities in border areas is included based on the regular standard which is commonly applied to the urban core. In a very short period, the numbers and types of existing social facilities are insufficient to fulfill the needs of the community. Nowadays, in the context of rapid urbanization, the growth of social facilities in border areas is very high. The intense growth of settlements in border areas is very high due to the low price of land in Demak Regency in compared to those of other areas in Semarang City. However, only a few developers involved social facilities as a part of housing estate construction. Consequently, most of the occupants utilize a limited number of social facilities provided by the municipal government, which are actually intended to serve the citizens of Semarang City. This research was conducted at Sendang Mulyo Village which is located in the border of Semarang municipal administrative area and included in Demak Regency. This paper discusses the utilization characteristics of social facilities in the border area of Semarang City, with the aim to get the trigger factors. The method analysis consisted of a statistical test and descriptive analysis. The utilization characteristics were formulated based on the relationship between neighborhood and human behavior. The settlements in the border area of Semarang City have different characteristics. The differences led to a gap of the utilization of facilities between people who live in the planned and unplanned settlement. Therefore, the social spatial concept is required to address the issue.

This paper mainly focused on fisherman settlement setting's analysis and explored why the tidal flood did not change the settlement setting. This research was conducted in fisherman settlement named Kelurahan Tambak Mulyo which is located at the coastal area of Semarang - the capital of Central Java Province. The fisherman settlement located in coastal areas and river estuaries has long existed in Semarang. In recent decades these areas are frequently flooded by heavy tidal flood.

The changes in system of activity of the inhabitants usually affect its urban setting. However, the reality indicates that the fisherman settlement setting does not change significantly. A series of analysis of the physical setting and the spatial setting has successfully revealed the phenomenon of the unaffected urban setting in the fisherman settlements of Semarang coastal area. Tidal flood that frequently hit this area did not alter the spatial structu Inhabitant's trip pattern was changed only during the tidal flood time.

The results of this study can be used as input for urban planning and urban design of Semarang's coastal areas. The policy of Semarang's growth should be synchronized with sustainability issues in its effort to establish a sustainable city.
