The growth of Makassar city as a national activity center of Mamminasata Metropolitan produces a high current of urbanization so that development leads to a suburban area which is one of which is in Maros Regency, which functions as the satellite city of Mamminasata. Population growth will certainly require shelter as one of the mandatory needs of the community. The purpose of this study is to determine the carrying capacity land of settlement in the suburban area of Mamminasata, especially the Maros Regency. The method in calculating the carrying capacity of the land is by comparing the supply and demand of settlement land. Land suitable for settlement development is 109,052 hectares, while the need for settlement of land in the next 20 years (2038) is 5,572 hectares. The conclusion of the study is the carrying capacity land of settlement in the suburban area of Mamminasata, which is still in a state of surplus, meaning that there is still a lot of lands that can be developed as settlements in line with the development of new cities in the periphery as anticipation of settlement land needs that cannot be met in Makassar City.
