This study uses the term distribution intensity of Retail Logistics Outlets (RLO) to see its effect on the dynamics of the development of RLO in the metropolitan area. RLO in Makassar city contributes to the formation of spatial structures. This is seen as a change in the function of the area into services by mushrooming RLO in areas with high density levels. The cause of the change in the emergence of RLO as a pull factor in the movement system in general, so that, it impacts spatial interactions. The researcher considers that this is still a new and very interesting thing to do in this research. The focus is on the effect of RLO on the development of spatial structures in the Metropolitan city of Makassar using the analysis of the distribution of the nearest neighboring regions and linear regression. The results of this study can provide several references for spatial planners in space control policies towards the development of city logistics.
