The increasing mobility demand in Indonesian secondary cities highlights the need for spatial integration between transport infrastructure and land-use planning. This study aims to assess the readiness of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) corridors in Malang City, Indonesia, using a GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation of accessibility and land-use integration. The study adopts the 5D+I framework: Density, Diversity, Design, Destination Accessibility, Distance to Transit, and Intermodality, to measure the spatial relationship between urban form and transport connectivity. Spatial data were obtained from the Laporan Umum Tim PKL Kota Malang 2024, complemented by field surveys, land-use maps, and transport network datasets. Each indicator was analyzed and normalized using GIS-based overlay and buffer analysis to generate a composite TOD Readiness Index (TRI). The results reveal that the Kota Baru–Soekarno Hatta–Tlogomas corridor exhibits the highest readiness level (TRI = 0.81), supported by high density, mixed land use, and multimodal accessibility. The Blimbing–Arjosari corridor shows moderate readiness, while peripheral areas remain less prepared due to low density and limited transit coverage. Findings indicate that accessibility and land-use diversity are strongly correlated (r = 0.72), suggesting that integrated planning enhances urban connectivity and supports sustainable mobility. Policy implications include the need for institutional coordination, pedestrian network improvements, and zoning adjustments to encourage compact mixed-use development around transit nodes. This study contributes a replicable GIS-based framework for evaluating TOD readiness in medium-sized Indonesian cities, bridging the gap between spatial analysis and practical urban planning.
