LAND USE MODEL FOR BUILDING BASED ON CARRYING CAPACITY OF CITY LAND (CASE STUDY: PALU CITY)

Abstract

This study aims to model the growth trend of the extent of land use for building based on the
carrying capacity of land in Palu city which is known as Bay City in accordance with the
prediction of time. Methods of research were carried out with the approach of spatial and
quantitative methods. The results show that Palu city as Bay City has the characteristics of
urban land that is quite specific to the protected area. There is still available land for
building i.e.: ± 13.151,13 ha (34.74%) with a growth rate of land use for building in the
future 2.72% per year, area of cultivation will be fully filled in the year 2056 with the
capacity of 1.052.730 people. Carrying capacity of land in Palu city until the year 2056 has
not exceeded the threshold, either by the land consumption per capita or by the level density.
