Abstract:
This study aims to understand changes in spatial structure and spatial
patterns in the coastal area in the Makassar urban system due to land
use conversion. This study uses a qualitative approach, by collecting
data through observation, visual analysis, literature study, interviews,
and documentation. The results of the study show that changes in
spatial use in the Center Point of Indonesia area have led to the
marginalization of local communities. Intensive land conversion has
changed the work system of local communities, replacing them with
the urban industrial community work system. The orientation of the
development of the Center Point of Indonesia area is to create business
opportunities for people engaged in the informal sector, tourism,
transportation, and other service sectors, as well as create a friendly
and modern environmental area. Overall, this beach reclamation has a
positive impact on the environment that is sustainable and provides
business opportunities and increased income for the community.
