Moreover, reviewing the factors that influence research trends in urban and regional planning. Hence, to show the role of soft infrastructure as the key to the implementation of the latest planning concepts through infrastructure development, and the use of technology to accelerate regional and urban development in a sustainable manner in Indonesiathis is based on the finding that most students like the theme of infrastructure and transportation as well as the emergence of new favorite themes about big data, smart cities, as well as social media. This paper also proves that the global theme of soft infrastructure is indeed in the realm of engineering, and the theme of the final project going forward needs to push the theme of governance, which is still less attractive, as well as business processes, all of which represent soft infrastructure in the context of urban and regional planning.
