Spatial planning is part of national development based on a balance between various interests. This research is socio-juridical. It was conducted in North Sulawesi Province as a research location based on the reality of the many spatial problems in this area. The results of the research indicated that in realizing legal certainty in the application of the conformity of space utilization activities to land services are the first, the application of laws and regulations will be optimal if supported by adequate facilities and infrastructure. The second, the involvement of several agencies using information technology will greatly determine the smooth implementation of spatial planning activities. To be able to create optimal services, all relevant agencies must have equal standards in the use of information technology. The third, the application of laws and regulations needs to begin with socialization to provide understanding to all parties concerned so that there are no differences in perceptions in services, and the fourth, it is necessary to test the application of laws and regulations so that weaknesses can be identified so that appropriate reforms that can reduce or eliminate ambiguity in legal substance.
