The growth of an urban area can be done thoroughly by considering it in a larger system where each interacts with others produce a complex urban networks. Urban interaction is manifested in various forms such as migration, trade, or information exchange. In the beginning, urban interaction only occurred among adjacent urban areas forming a relatively small urban system. Along with the rapid development of technology, the range of interaction has also evolve creating a larger urban system with more complex interaction pattern. The development of urban interaction has gain scholars attention since 1930. Various approaches and methods have been conducted to answer urban interactions on various scales. However, in Indonesia, urban interactions are not well studied. Several studies that have been conducted still has limitations in research method with limited scope of the study. Therefore, this study aims to describe Indonesia’s urban interaction pattern and centrality. The scope of this study is 25 urban areas comprise all metropolitan areas and other urban areas with various sizes. Network analysis is used to define urban interaction pattern and centrality based on economic and transportation aspects in 2010 and 2015. In economic aspect, urban interaction was described using theory of gravity based on GRDP and population data. While the urban centrality was determined by their urban flow intensity based on labor data. The results based on economic aspects were then compared with the interaction and urban centrality based on transportation aspect which used air transport passenger data provided by PT Angkasa Pura I and PT Angkasa Pura II. The results of this study illustrate the urban interaction pattern in Indonesia which is centralized in the Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area. However, based on economic aspect, urban interaction dominantly occur between Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area and the urban areas located in Java Island. While on transportation aspect, the interaction also occurs between the Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area and urban areas located outside Java Island. Another finding in this study also found that urban centrality based on both aspects are different from urban centrality based on their population. Where between both aspects, urban centrality is highly correlated. <br /> <br /> <br /> Keywords: Indonesia, urban interaction, urban centrality, gravity model, urban flow intensity, air passenger flow
