Land use is often not in harmony with population growth, so land use does not align with regional spatial conditions. This study aims to determine land use in 2021 in Binjai City based on the 2020-2040 Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) using Spot 6 imagery and determine the suitability of 2021 land use in Binjai City based on the 2020-2020 Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) 2040 using Image Spot 6.
