Land use and spatial planning in the border area of Bogor Regency and Bogor City, West Java Province, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract Spatial Planning (RTRW) is a policy direction and strategy for using regional space used as a reference by the Governments. Inconsistencies often occur between current land use (LU) and spatial planning. The research focus is a similar land use in villages/kelurahan on the border of the two regions. Similar land use is essential to compare inconsistencies in two adjacent districts/cities (e.g., inconsistency occurs in paddy fields in district A, not in district B). The research objectives are 1). Identify LU and its changes in the border area of Bogor Regency and City in 2010-2020, and 2). Analyze similar land use (2020) and alignment with RTRW. The analysis used is the logical matrix tabulation, geographic information system (GIS), and scalogram. The study locations identified 62 villages on the border of Bogor Regency and City. In the border area of Bogor Regency and City, the dominant land use is settlements, and between 2010 to 2020, there is an increase in the area of settlements by 2.196 hectares. This shows that regional development has expanded to the periphery. Furthermore, the alignment of land use with spatial patterns on similar lands in border areas can see the tendency of regional spatial planning policies, whether exploitation or conservation.
