Abstract:
The spatial transformation of new urban areas into industrial urban areas impacts spatial structure,
spatial patterns, and environmental degradation. This study aims to analyze the spatial transformation
work as a determinant of the development of the new urban area of Metro Tanjung Bunga Makassar and
analyze the relationship of spatial expansion, land use change and population increase for the growth of
new city areas and the sustainable development of the Metro Tanjung Bunga area, Makassar city. The
data for this study has been obtained through observation, surveys and documentation. The research
approach used is a sequential explanation. According to the results, that excessive urbanization and
maximum compaction led to spatial expansion towards the development of the new urban area of Metro
Tanjung Bunga. Moreover, the increase in number has a dominant influence with a value of 32.3% on the
growth of the new city area of Metro Tanjung Bunga, Makassar City. Spatial expansion, land use change,
and population increase were determinants of growth factors in the new urban areas and they also had a
significant impact on environmental quality degradation. This study recommends the importance of
considering the impact of new urban spatial areas for the formulation of strategic policies on sustainable
development as an effort to meet national development targets for the case of Metropolitan Cities in
Indonesia
