Abstract

The concept of regional development Mebidangro (Medan, Binjai, Deli Serdang, and Karo) creating neighboring region hinterland Medan city with Deli Serdang Regency especially in Tembung village, Percut Sei Tuan District. Population structure in Tembung shows occurrence condition of rural-urban change which seen from the sprawl land use change. The aim of the study is to reveal the genius locus as one of land use change factors. The study conducted with quantitative approach intended at obtaining variables which describing several factors forming land use change. Descriptive approach intended to give an idea, justification, and fact-finding with correct interpretation. Data collected through a purposive sampling of 300 respondents who have built the house between 2010 till 2014. With overlay figure/ground technique, scoring analysis, descriptive quantitative and SEM (Structural Equational Models) gained a result that place character/genius locus (p=0,007) potentially as one of the main land use change driving factors besides accessibility (p=0,039), infrastructure (p=0,005), social-economic p=0,038). Topographic (p=0,663) was inversely potentially. The implication of the findings is required intensive control in space utilization considering the rapid change in land use transformation that tend to have the negative impact of urban sprawl.

Summary

Introduction

Physical development of the city area is characterizing by the expansion of settlements along the natural population growth and migration. Lack of urban land in the city center encourages alternative options for people to settle in the suburbs (hinterland) that inflict the phenomenon of the growth center in the peri-urban area (Yunus, 2008:8). Some of the region appeals for the establishment of a central location for growth including a need for settlement requires suitable land so the right topography can be an attraction for development (2011:60-63). Hinterland area with city infrastructure condition and accessibility of closeness between public facilities become the appeal for urbanization resulting in the formation of the city morphology (Soetomo, 2009:193). Structuring of architectural elements, infrastructure, and city landscape can form images of the city with easy orientation as the region appeal for settlement (Lynch, 1979:8-9)
