Eastern Bandung Region including Cileunyi, Jatinangor and Rancaekek is a suburb area of Bandung, which has gone through many changes in land use from agrarian to non-agrarian, also the population density and urban growth rate have increased. This phenomenon can lead to urban sprawl and potentially lead to a negative spatial transformation and inefficient resource allocation. This research objectives are to identify the characteristics of urban sprawl development and the pattern of urban sprawl in Eastern Bandung area in 2002, 2010 and 2017. This study uses quantitative approach with descriptive method also spatial analysis technique, scoring, and descriptive analysis. The spatial data that was used are Google Earth image data in 2002, 2010 and 2017. The results of this study show that the characteristics of urban sprawl development that consist of physical and social dimension is high with a score of 2.46. The pattern of urban sprawl can be identified as the combination of ribbon and leap frog development. Ribbon development can be seen in Cileunyi and Jatinangor, meanwhile leap frog development occurs in Rancaekek. The results of this study hopefully can help improve the understanding about urban sprawl and encourage the policy makers in controlling the spatial transformation wisely. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
