Abstract
Economic growth and urban agglomeration have triggered an increase in the size and mobility of the Metropolitan Mamminasata urban population. This study aims to analyse spatial interactions working as a determinant of connectivity of the transportation system and the growth of suburban areas toward smart and sustainable cities in the Mamminasata Metropolitan urban system and the effects that spatial expansion, spatial integration, urban agglomeration, spatial use, and the transportation system have on population mobility. The research method used is a sequential explanatory design that combines quantitative and qualitative research methods. The results show that the coefficients of determination are as follows: spatial expansion to population mobility – 4.90%, spatial integration to population mobility – 2.99%, spatial interaction to population mobility – 4.87%, urban agglomeration to population mobility – 2.09%, space use to population mobility – 2.64%, and transportation system to population mobility – 5.15%. The results of this study will assist in the formulation of development policies, management of the urban transportation system, and allocation of space utilisation going forward.
Highlights
The growth and development of metropolitan urban areas in Indonesia are revealed to have a fundamental difference compared with the spatial function that forms in metropolitan cities in developed countries
Excessive urbanisation and maximum compaction of the core city of Makassar have led to the conversion of productive agricultural land to highly complex spaces in suburban areas
Spatial integration, spatial interactions, urban agglomeration, spatial use, and transportation systems have a significant effect on the mobility of residents of suburban areas
Summary
The growth and development of metropolitan urban areas in Indonesia are revealed to have a fundamental difference compared with the spatial function that forms in metropolitan cities in developed countries. In general, is marked by the modernization and industrialization of big cities and metropolitan areas that are supported by the advancement of information technology, communication, and transportation. In this context, increasing the economic productivity of metropolitan cities is a driving force for the mobility of people, goods, capital, services, and ideology. Global economic activity is formed in urban centres and extends and impacts the surrounding area. Restructuring the global economy has a profound effect on the composition of the socioeconomic population of big cities (Sassen, 1991; Utami, 2020)
