Spatial patterns analysis of land use changes using spatial metrics in the peri-urban area of Surakarta City 2023

Abstract

The development of cities and the transformation of suburbs are interrelated. Limited land in urban areas causes urban development to move outward towards peri-urban areas. Morphologically, the spatial development of urban fairy areas causes land use change. Surakarta City, as the mother city of the Subosukowonosraten Area, has experienced over-capacity, causing the effect of Surakarta City towards its periphery. This study aims to analyze spatial patterns of land use change using a spatial metrics approach. Research is quantitative descriptive research with a spatial approach. The results showed an increasing trend of residential land use change in all peri-urban zones of Surakarta City, with a faster rate of land use change in the peri-urban area of the inner zone as an area directly adjacent to the core city. The pattern of land use change shows the inner zone, and the outer zone shows the development of clustering patterns. In contrast, the urban shadow zone and rural hinterland zone show the development of longitudinal patterns.
