Potentials and constraints of the spatial and regional development perspective using regional genetic methods

Abstract

Regional development is a strategy of utilizing and combining internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and challenges) that exist as potentials and opportunities that can be utilized to increase the region’s production of goods and services that are a function of the needs both internally and externally. These internal factors are in the form of natural resources, human resources and technological resources, while external factors can be opportunities and threats that arise along with their interactions with other regions. The comprehensive spatial planning and development of the region certainly needs the support of information on the potential and constraints of the region with its own genetic background as a whole, meaning that all complete information about all aspects relevant to the spatial needs are met. Information for spatial planning includes potential including physical-mechanical properties of various types of rock masses. Leles is one of the sub-districts in Garut regency which has an area of 6.5 million hectares with a large potential of mining excavation. Regional Spatial Planning Arrangement based on the potential of mineral excavation ensures mining plans in the area do not kill other potentials and shows conformity to the plan long-term. Mountain sand eruption excavated as an industrial commodity is the biggest potential in the Leles region. The existing constraints are related to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
