The phenomenon is indicated by the crisis of urban form dan urban sprawl in Lasem. Transect planning is an approach which aims to create an immersive environment and integrate rural-to-urban continuum by promoting sustainable urban form and providing the logical pattern of  development from rural-to-urban, vice versa. This article aims to identify the transect from rural-to-urban continuum in Lasem by identify elements of urban form such as density, land use, building function, building layout (height building configuration), and transportation infrastructure.
