This research investigates the spatial transformation of land use surrounding the Gempol Toll Interchange in Pasuruan Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The study aims to assess how infrastructural development has altered land use patterns and to evaluate the consistency of these changes with the established spatial plans. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach, satellite imagery from 2011, 2016, and 2021 was analyzed through overlay and conformity assessments. The findings reveal substantial conversion of agricultural land into built-up areas including settlement, warehouse, roads, and commercial zones. Between 2011-2016, 16.96 hectares of agricultural land were converted, while an additional 7.52 hectares changed from 2016-2021, predominantly along arterial roads. Despite the fact that 87.7% of the land usage now is in accordance with the Pasuruan Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR), discrepancies remain particularly where agricultural zones have been transformed into industrial and warehouse areas. These findings underline the importance of adaptable spatial strategies that strike a balance between sustainable land resource management and economic growth, as well as the transformative role that transportation infrastructure plays in regional spatial development. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
