Abstract:
Post-natural disaster spatial planning requires an analysis of spatial carrying
capacity and support to promote sustainable settlement development. This study aims
to analyse the carrying capacity and spatial support of settlements and to formulate
development guidelines for post-disaster settlements in Mantikulore District, Palu City.
Using a sequential explanatory approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods,
data were gathered through observation, surveys, and documentation. The analysis reveals
that the environmental carrying capacity and support for settlement zones could be more
robust, with only the Lasoani and Poboya neighbourhoods demonstrating high capacity.
The zoning guidelines for the district are categorised into allowed, conditionally allowed,
limitedly allowed, and prohibited zones, with a priority on development in Lasoani and
Poboya. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by offering a comprehensive
framework for sustainable settlement planning in disaster-prone areas, highlighting the
importance of robust zoning regulations and community engagement in enhancing urban
resilience and sustainability
