Abstract

Urban development and spatial planning, including policies in the tourism sector, have resulted in the transformation of land use and site shape in the old district of Makassar. This study aims to identify the land use changes of urban tourism amenities and analyze their implication on the site shape change. A spatial analysis of the growth of tourism amenities was conducted to understand the land use change at the urban block level. The results showed an increase in the plot area of tourism amenities such as accommodation, commercial, culinary, and tourism service facilities. An increase in plot area was also experienced by non-tourism facilities such as private offices and public services, while residential use declined.

The patterns of site shape change have been presented by using the typological analysis method. Four patterns of site shape change in the urban blocks level were identified, namely parcel consolidation, parcel splitting, coastal expansion, and demolition. The patterns occurred not only to expand the existing land but also to generate alternative access and form more extensive frontage to accommodate more visitors. In response to the site shape change, the implication to the urban space in the old district should be considered to control urban development. With this study, the pattern of site shape change in the old district will have been stated and will have contributed to explaining the phenomena that can occur in the other old cities as a process of their urban form.
