Urban Sprawl Symptoms in Makassar City

Abstract

Urban sprawl symptoms are characterized by the phenomenon of the expansion of urban functional areas into urban fringe areas. The residential area of Bumi Tamalanrea Permai Makassar showed the symptoms, where the dynamics of densification and dualistic residential areas and the region’s growth have exceeded the supporting capacity and basic availability infrastructure in the area. This article was intended to explore the processes, activities, and analysis of urban sprawl symptoms in urban fringe using a mixed quantitative and qualitative/mixed methods approach. The research results show that there has been densification, dualistic settlements, gated areas beyond urban functional boundaries, and changes in the pattern of the transformation of physical and spatial functions toward the urban fringe in such a way that they form urban sprawl.
