THE CHANGE OF LAND USE IN JENDERAL A.H NASUTION STREET MEDAN

Abstract

One of the factors causing changes in land use is the increasing population. Also, the increasing number of people causes the need for land to increase. In regulating and planning the land use of an area, the government establishes a technical reference in the form of legislation regarding the use of space in an area. Regulation is developed according to the characteristics and needs of the government in the area. Thereby, regional development can be managed and directed according to the use and utilization of the land. Regulations on spatial use are then outlined in a map, i.e., the Regional Spatial Plan Map, making it easier for the government to control, supervise, and plan regional the management and use of regional land properly. This study aims to map land-use changes on Jalan Jenderal A.H Nasution Medan in 2006, 2013, and 2020. Primary data is a mapping of land-use changes obtained from field observations and aerial photos in 2006, 2013 and 2020 obtained from the Dinas Housing, Settlement Areas and Spatial Planning of Medan City. Also, secondary data in the form of Regional Head Regulations were then analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The findings of this study serve as an evaluation for the government in making land-use regulations so that these regulations can be targeted and meet the community's needs.
