Settlement Development Based On Environmental Carrying Capacity In Batu City, Indonesia

The increase in population and demand for settlement facilities infrastructure affects the attractiveness of Batu city (Indonesia) has a significant impact on environmentWe perform spatial mapping environmental carrying capacity developing settlements using overlay-geoprocessing method. This method is based unit indicators such as slope, morthology, soil type, elevation, potential disasters obtaining data land capability, suitability, development plans. Land capability analysis shows that morthology altitude are main factors attributing moderate, low, poor capability. areas with slope steepness not appropriate intensively areas. City cover 13,365.14 ha, 3193.04 2858.07 ha. We also demonstrate there about 2,363 ha unsuitable use 3,784.28 can be developed settlement. Using this approach we determine saturation point residential area plan, because will if no threshold given development.
