%A Riovano Tarigan %X This research aims to explore the social impacts resulting from a local government of Province DKI Jakarta project in the implementation of public transport service, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), in Jakarta City. Since early 2004, the operation of BRT, namely Transjakarta, has triggered many social conflicts and tensions between local government and some interest groups. The fears of a decrease in daily income and loss of livelihoods become their main concerns, which induce protests even when the project has not been started. Based on this experience, this research tries to indicate social impacts by using variables commonly used in social impact assessment (SIA). It is expected that there will be some lessons learned about the potential impact in the case new similar project will be established in other places. %T Improving Public Transport Policy through Social Impact Assessment (SIA) A Case Study: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Transjakarta, Indonesia %D 2015 %L theses_frw1655
