Pinrang in context: Street-network sprawl trends

The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Pinrang plotted against Sulawesi Selatan and Indonesia. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Pinrang's incremental SNDi rose from 3.58 to 5.0 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Pinrang ranked 1st out of 12 cities in Sulawesi Selatan and 9th out of 366 in Indonesia as of 2020.

Rankings go from most connected to most disconnected — rank 1 is the most connected.

In new street additions, Pinrang built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Jinxiang built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Panchananpur built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Pinrang became progressively more disconnected, while Jinxiang became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Panchananpur became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Pinrang and Jinxiang have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
