Distribution Of Slums, Building Configuration, And Land Cover Composition In Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia Using A Geographic Information System

Abstract

On This research aims to analyze the distribution of slums, building configuration, and land covercomposition in Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia by using a geographicinformation system. Material and methods: To determine the existing conditions of space utilization forvarious types of designation, a Geographic Information System (GIS) is used with an overlappingtechnique (overlay). The map of land utilization used is the 2014-2019 map. Result: In 2019 it is also knownthat the distribution of slum areas in Banjarmasin City is evenly distributed with the category of light-slumand is divided into 52 locations in 5 Districts. In 2019 it was discovered that all land on the riverbanks hasbeen covered by buildings. The settlement areas in Banjarmasin City continues to grow, in 2014 the areawas 3712.28 ha (37.70%) while in 2019 the area was 5182.20 ha (52.63%). The use of water bodies especiallyswamp, began to decrease due to the expansion of the settlement areas. The use of water bodies in2014 was 677.73 ha (6.88%), this use was reduced by about 2% in 2019 to 675.53 ha (6.86%). The use ofland as dry agricultural land also decreased very drastically. In 2014 the area was 2441.94 ha (24.80%),while in 2019 the area was 911.30 ha (9.26%). Conclusion: The overlay results from land utilization andbuilding configuration are very helpful in formulating policies for spatial planning and slum settlements inBanjarmasin City. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that the area of settlements is increasing,and it reduces the use of water bodies, especially swamp. This can affect the quality of the river's carryingcapacity in terms of its spatial and ecology.
