Abstract

Regulating billboards is one of main priority programs being held by the government of Semarang city. As a capital of Central Java province, the city has five main iconic road corridors namely Simpang Lima area, Jalan (street) Pahlawan, Jalan Pandanaran, Jalan Pemuda and Jalan Gajahmada. Latest observation shows these corridors have an increasing significant amount of frenzied billboards in terms of placement and size. However, billboards are of consequence income regarding retribution and taxes. In the other hand, an uncontrolled growth of billboards will affect the visual view of the city and feared to damage the image of the city. This research examines the conception of removing billboards that are exist on Semarang's city infrastructure into any other places, while analysing its impact on the visual image of its surrounding. A number of theories try to evaluate the usage of billboards as medium to construct city image. In the cities of developed countries, there are no billboards as many as Semarang. The area being used of a sample in the research is Jalan (street) Pandanaran, predominantly a provincial road connecting eastern part to western part of Java. Jalan (street) Pandanaran also commonly known as a centre of souvenirs and gift shops as well as a section of Semarang's golden business triangle. By having a structured simulation of reducing the number of billboards in some section of Jalan (street) Pandanaran as a case study, then we can have an early identification on how its impact to the city’s image.
