Analysis and Control of Land Use Deviations in the City of Parepare

Abstract

Population and economic growth in the city of Parepare have increased, which has a big impact on land conversion. The City of Parepare Government has published Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2021 regarding the Regional Spatial Plan (RSP) of the City of Parepare 2021–2041 in order to carry out spatial planning. Existing land cannot be used in accordance with RSP regulations after a change in land use. This study aims to find deviations from existing land use in 2022 against the RSP and how to control land use irregularities in Parepare City. The analysis used in this study utilizes a Geographic Information System (GIS) to obtain a map of existing land use in 2022 and an overlay analysis to find land use deviations, and interviews with officials related to land use control in Parepare City. The results of the analysis show that the land use that is following the function of the area in the spatial pattern of the RSP is 6280.23 ha or 69.57% and the land use that deviates from the function of the area in the spatial pattern of the RSP is 2753.28 ha or 30.48%. The issue with its implementation is that many people have exploited or built on the land despite not having the necessary permissions. In an effort to regulate land usage, socialization, monitoring, and the implementation of sanctions have been used; yet, in reality, some people continue to utilize property outside of the RSP.
