Author Guidelines

Jurnal Tata Kota dan Daerah (TAKODA) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal and published manuscripts in the field of urban and regional planning, i.e. regional planning and development, urban studies and design, transportation, environments and settlement, rural studies, and disaster management. Articles must be the results of recently conducted research (not more than 5 years). They must neither be previously nor simultaneously submitted in any journal nor published elsewhere except in a preliminary form. Review papers should be critical analyses and integrate recent advances in an important area of research, stimulating further research and providing a new approach or knowledge.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

An acceptable manuscript will meet the following general criteria: it reports a worthwhile contribution to science, sound methodology was used and is explained with sufficient detail so that other capable scientists could repeat the experiments. Conclusions are supported by data, the manuscript is concise, well written, and understandable.

Manuscripts written in Bahasa Indonesia should have abstract in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. However, any English article is not required to have an abstract in the Indonesian language.

MANUSCRIPT FORMAT

The manuscript should be uploaded to Jurnal Tata Kota dan Daerah (TAKODA) system and arranged in TAKODA standard format in Bahasa and English. Manuscript consists of: Title, Authors, Address and Email, Institution, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Result and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgment and References.

MANUSCRIPT TITLE

The title of the paper should be concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible. It should be written clearly and concisely describing the contents of the research. When the manuscript is written in Bahasa, the manuscript must also have a title in both Bahasa and English.

AUTHORS

The manuscript has the main author and co-authors with the full names of the author and co-authors (no abbreviation), including address (es) affiliations and email addresses clearly.

ABSTRACT

The abstract should give readers concise information about the article's content and indicate the main results and conclusions drawn. The abstract is not part of the text and should be complete; no table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematical expressions should be included. It should be suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services and should not normally exceed 250 words in a single paragraph. Since contemporary information-retrieval systems rely heavily on the content of titles and abstracts to identify relevant articles in literature searches, great care should be taken in constructing both.

KEYWORDS

Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. Keywords should not be more than five words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

INTRODUCTION

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explain how you addressed the problem and clearly state the aims of your study. As you compose the introduction, think of readers who are not experts in this field.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

It should be mentioned the time and place of research in the first part. All materials and methods that are used, such as chemicals for analysis, treatment and experimental design, must be stated clearly and briefly. State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lays the foundation for further work. A calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results and discussion must be written in the same part. They should be presented continuously starting from the main result to the supporting results, and equipped with a discussion. The unit of measurement that is used should follow the prevailing international (metric) system. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

CONCLUSION

The study's main conclusions may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section. Suggestion placed after the conclusion contains a recommendation on the research done or an input that can be used directly by the consumer.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references. Do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., language help, writing assistance or proofreading the article, etc.).
