Spatial utilization control for supporting development acceleration: case study in South Tangerang city, Banten Indonesia

Spatial plan is a guideline for a country's development containing strategic policies and spatial utilization programs. The high dynamics of space needs for development implementation impacting to the spatial uses change and raising number of spatial unsuitability. South Tangerang city, as an urban area which serves as a capital buffer zone, experiences a fairly high development intensity, that giving a development effect to some areas in economic and ecological ways. The existing land use analyses found that 21,91% of the existing land use are not suitable with the spatial plan, 55,28% suitable, and 22,81% are still in transition. The change of the land uses are dominated by trade and services area and areas which has an access to an infrastructure facilities. This development activity including infrastructure, potentialy raised spatial utilization unsuitablility. This research is about to map the land use gradations and the consistency of spatial utilization related with the development planning in South Tangerang city in order to raise the effectiveness of spatial utilization control. Detailed instrument are needed, so the Government must accelerate the preparation of Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR).
