The needs of settlements land are higher due to the increasing population, but the lands-availability in urban areas is getting narrower. Land use continues to grow as the initial process for the expansion of the city, its movement will out from the city centre to the periphery. Therefore, it is necessary to study the suitability land and develop the principles of the location planning of housing development. The research method using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to calculate the weights, Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to create land suitability map, and overlay analysis result used to describe the principle of settlement location based on land suitability. The results show that 1) most suitable land for housing development is 637,75 hectare, low suitable land is 952,75 hectares and unsuitable areas of 781.5 hectares 2)The principles of settlement location based on land suitability are a)Clean water, available piped water network with adequate water quality terms smells, taste and colour, b)Flood prone, integrated drainage system development, optimization of reservoir performance and lake as water absorption, c)Accessibility, have road infrastructure and easy access to public transportation, d) Availability of land, not located in protected areas or technical irrigation, e) Availability of basic public service.
Komunitas Berpagar (Gated Community) merupakan kawasan permukiman dengan akses terbatas membuat ruang publik menjadi privat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kondisi dan ketersediaan serta efektivitas ruang terbuka publik yang ada pada permukiman berkarakter Gated Community di Kota Makassar berdasarkan pengguna dan aktivitasnya dengan menggunakan metode campuran (mix methode) untuk mengamati dan menganalis data. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan metode GPSI (Good Public Space Index). Hasil Penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa : (1) Ketersediaan Ruang Terbuka Publik dalam Perumahan Bukit Baruga khususnya dalam Klaster Borneo telah memenuhi standar dengan luas 1.190 m2 dengan jumlah warga 628 orang (Syarat minimal 1 m2/orang, berdasarkan Permen PU Nomor 05/PRT/M/2008); (2) Efektifitas penggunaan ruang terbuka publik berdasarkan analisis GPSI dari variabel Intensitas dan Durasi Penggunaannya adalah tidak efektif, sedangkan berdasarkan variabel Penggunaannya secara Berkelompok, Keragaman Penggunanya, serta Keragaman Karakteristik Penggunanya adalah efektif. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi acuan evaluasi ruang terbuka pada komunitas berpagar sehingga efektifitas penggunaan ruang terbuka dapat tercapai secara maksimal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
