抄録

The advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed work patterns, driving demand for flexible and collaborative work environments. New Workspaces (NWS), i.e., co-working spaces, shared offices, and hybrid models, that combine work, social interaction, and innovation. However, NWS development in Indonesia remains limited due to a lack of standardized guidelines and spatially grounded research. This study analyzes the spatial suitability of NWS in Bandung City using a quantitative exploratory approach, incorporating closest facility analysis, the Shannon-Weiner Index for facility diversity, and accessibility scoring. Results show that Citarum sub-district is the most suitable location, characterized by high facility diversity, strong accessibility, and strategic positioning. These findings offer a data-driven framework to support policymakers and urban planners in integrating NWS into zoning and urban development strategies, promoting collaboration, economic growth, and sustainable urban vitality.
