Abstract


Batu City, situated in East Java, Indonesia, has emerged as a increasingly popular tourist destination for both local and international travelers. Its natural beauty, rich history, and diverse tourism facilities have positioned Batu City as a favored destination for those seeking unique and diverse travel experiences. In the tourism industry, accessibility is a critical aspect, referring to the ability to connect tourists with various attractions and tourism facilities within the city. The objectives of this research employ a spatial approach, utilizing isochrone methods as the primary tool for evaluating tourism service coverage. The analysis using a 5-minute isochrone map indicates that the entire area of Batu City is encompassed by tourism facility services. The 10-minute isochrone map shows a broader service area compared to the 5-minute range and already covers the entire network of Kota Batu. Recommendations based on this analysis include determining public transportation stopping points that can enhance the comfort of tourists during their journeys. However, this study has limitations, as the isochrone analysis only considers travel distance without accounting for road width and traffic congestion.
