“…The main factors affecting economic resilience are the availability of social communities and formal economic institutions, institutional capacity, availability of production centers and social capacity [86,87]. Furthermore, this policy will encourage public confidence in the government by applying the principles of social justice, equitable development, and reducing the gap to stability in development [88]. This result confirms that economic empowerment carried out through system integration and the collaboration of actors, namely the government, private sector, and the community, will encourage the sustainability of economic enterprises towards increasing the productivity of community businesses and improving the quality of the environment of slums as a tangible manifestation of the successful implementation of a watershed resource conservation program community based river.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of slum development, community poverty, and community behavior on environmental degradation in the Tallo river basin in Makassar City and to analyze the effects of natural resource conservation, economic empowerment, community capacity building on the productivity of economic enterprises and ecosystem-based sustainability. This study uses a qualitative-quantitative approach in sequence. Data were obtained through observation, surveys, and documentation. The research findings show that slums, poverty, and community behavior have a significant effect on the decline in the environmental quality of the Tallo river basin in Makassar City, with a coefficient of determination of 32.2%. The results showed that the conservation of natural resources, economic empowerment, and community capacity building were positively correlated to increasing the productivity of community economic enterprises and the sustainability of watershed ecosystems. The assertion is that watershed conservation, integrated with economic empowerment, contributes positively to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This study offers the concept of conservation of natural resources based on community economic empowerment as a solution to the handling of slums for the case of metropolitan cities in Indonesia, to support metropolitan city development programs nationally.

The rapid development observed in metropolitan cities affects the spatial interaction between regions and urban cluster settlements, leading to the fiscal growth of suburbs. This study is therefore, aimed to examine and analyze the spatial integration, urban agglomeration, economic growth and formation of the social territorial structures in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburb using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Meanwhile, data were obtained through observation, surveys and documentation studies. Furthermore, the results showed that an elevation in the pattern of urban activities elicited changes parameters assessed which lead to economic growth in the suburbs of Mamminasata Metropolitan. This finding further indicated that spatial integration an urban agglomeration and the increase of activity, led to land tenure inequality and differences in adaptation between migrants and the local community. However, changes in spatial use influenced the structure and pattern of space, therefore, causing the formation of social territorial structures in the area.

“…Urbanization increases the concentration of people and critical services in cities, which also upscale their exposure to acute shocks and long-term stresses such as floods, earthquakes, climate change or social dynamics [56], and reveal the interaction of migration and level of development, suggesting the importance of geographic location besides the socio-economic factors [57]. Furthermore, ecological degradation gradually exhibits a restrictive effect on socioeconomic subsystem, further restricting the improvement of the coordinated development [58]. Accessibility to main roads, cities and services had a positive impact while proximity to industrial lands had the most negative effect on growth patterns [59].…”

Metropolitan Urban Mamminasata South Sulawesi, Indonesia as the object of study is explored in the core-peripheral spatial interaction towards the formation of suburban service centers. The problems raised in this study are (i) is there a relationship/correlation between spatial integration, spatial interaction, and urban agglomeration to the formation of urban activity systems and (ii) how the formation of urban activity systems works as a determinant of economic growth, land use change and environmental quality degradation towards sustainable development in the metropolitan city of Mamminasata. Comparative studies of suburban areas have been carried out over three time periods (2001, 2015 and 2019). Data elaboration on observations, surveys and documentation is done to describe urban dynamics in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. Path analysis is used to address direct effects, indirect effects, differences, and dependencies between urban elements. The gravity model is used to analyze the spatial interactions of the core city with the periphery. The study results show that spatial integration, spatial interaction and urban agglomeration have a positive effect on the system of urban activity and economic growth in the outskirts of the Mamminasata Metropolitan area. The results of this study recommend policy makers and urban planners that land use change, spatial integration and urban spatial interactions on the spatial scale of metropolitan cities to require the implementation of sustainable development concepts oriented towards saving the environment, ensuring fairness in economic access and creating social cohesion, in line with meeting national Metropolitan city development targets by 2030.
