Rural-urban transformation is inseparable from the role of urbanization and urban growth in both small and large cities. Hence, small towns also have a role in the development of regional growth. The driving factors that cause this are people's encouragement to achieve a decent livelihood and encouraging its residents to move up into more urbanized areas. In addition, the improving transportation network and industrial activities have also encouraged the emergence of this phenomenon. However, in the process, urbanization and urban growth are not always accompanied by well-balanced spatial planning practices such as strict monitoring and evaluation. This academic study explores the link between the Semarang, its hinterland, and its interaction with peri-urban areas, emphasizing the commonly overlooked debates and activities occurring in the peri-urban environment. This study investigates the impact of large-scale infrastructure projects in new economic corridors in Central Java on the rural-urban transformation process, as well as potential policy interventions to address associated challenges. The fundamental study issue focused on the function of the newly built economic corridor in Central Java and its influence on the physical and socioeconomic elements of the region's rural-urban change. This research examines the brief proposition that large-scale industrial estate development in this corridor encourages transformation by analyzing the transformation process across physical, socioeconomic, and policy aspects. The collected data will be processed using quantitative descriptive analysis, LQ analysis, and supported by GIS analysis. The findings of this study are that in the economic corridor of Central Java, there is a rural-urban transformation process that is still running where the impact affects physical, social, and economic conditions and spatial policies that regulate the space. Hence, these findings intend to provide insights into the dynamic interrelations between the corridor's growth and the region's physical, socioeconomic, and environmental features. With the results provided, this study is expected to contribute to the discourses of economic development, especially in the role of small towns in the context of developing countries whose development comes from foreign investment and major infrastructure projects.
