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 cover
composition in Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia by using a geographic
information system. Material and methods: To determine the existing conditions of space utilization for
various types of designation, a Geographic Information System (GIS) is used with an overlapping
technique (overlay). The map of land utilization used is the 2014-2019 map. Result: In 2019 it is also known
that the distribution of slum areas in Banjarmasin City is evenly distributed with the category of light-slum
and is divided into 52 locations in 5 Districts. In 2019 it was discovered that all land on the riverbanks has
been covered by buildings. The settlement areas in Banjarmasin City continues to grow, in 2014 the area
was 3712.28 ha (37.70%) while in 2019 the area was 5182.20 ha (52.63%). The use of water bodies especially
swamp, began to decrease due to the expansion of the settlement areas. The use of water bodies in
2014 was 677.73 ha (6.88%), this use was reduced by about 2% in 2019 to 675.53 ha (6.86%). The use of
land 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 and
building configuration are very helpful in formulating policies for spatial planning and slum settlements in
Banjarmasin 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 carrying
capacity in terms of its spatial and ecology.
