Abstract:
The development of the densification pattern of suburban settlements is an
increasingly interesting subject since it relates to urban development policies and the
concept of a planning approach. The purpose of this study was to analyze;
characteristics of spatial physical transformation, transformation to densification, and
densification as process. The research method used was the qualitative descriptive
method. The data were obtained by direct and indirect observation. The results showed
the growth of planned and organic settlement densification patterns through the
formation and development phases. The development phase is a process of the space
function change from a residential area to a service and trade function. The development
of densification patterns and spatial transformation of the residential area of Bumi
Tamalanrea Permai was due to the land plot policy which has implications for the
infilling development process. the area development process around the pattern
development and transformation phases was influenced by the development of the BTP
(central business district) as a growth center. This study recommends considering
spatial transformation as a determinant of the growth of settlement densification
patterns followed by future management policies for the settlement area of Bumi
Tamalanrea Permai and its surrounding areas.
