Results from this research that, of the 9 land units in the study area has two land suitability clasess, namely the research refers that suitable of marginal (S3) spread in 5 units land width it is 2619,6 Ha the units land are D2,III, Kbc,La; D1,II, Htn,Li; D2,II, Kbc,La; D2,I, Kbc,La; and D2,I, Swh,Al and for suitability class is not suitable (N) spread in 4 units land width it is 1130 Ha the units land are D1,IV, Htn,Li; D2,IV, Htn,La; D1,V, Htn,Li; and D2,V, Htn,La. Conclusions land suitability classes durian cultivation in the subdistrict of Mungkajang that is suitable of marginal (S3) spread in 5 units land and not suitable (N) spread in 4 units land. Heaviest limiting factor is temperature, rainfall, slope, and the effective depth of the soil.

Spatial patterns analysis of land use changes using spatial metrics in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City 2023

“…The urban shadow zone in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City is located in the foothills of the mountains, namely Mount Lawu on the east side and Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu on the west side, causing the area to tend to be more diverse and high topography than the inner and outer zones which tend to have a flat topography but with slopes that are still gentle. The pattern of spreading settlements in urban shadow zones is also influenced by the number of residents who tend to be smaller, making settlements more likely to lead to a spreading pattern [29].…”

“…The rural hinterland zone in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City is located in the mountainous area of Mount Lawu (east), Mount Merapi, and Mount Merbabu (west), as well as the urban shadow zone but with a higher location, topography, and slopes. With physical conditions in the form of mountainous areas with higher and steep topography, the development of settlements tends to spread in several areas and cluster around good tourist attractions natural attractions [29] such as natural attractions Grojogan Sewu waterfall, Cemoro Kandang, climbing Mount Lawu on the slopes of Mount Lawu; natural attractions Kedung Kayang Waterfall, Lempuyang Hill, Stabelan on the slopes of Mount Merapi; and Climbing Mount Merbabu. The pattern of land development developed in the rural hinterland zone is more clearly presented in Figure 6.…”
