Abstract

An increase in the need for land will encourage changes in land use. Medan City is one of the largest cities with rapid urban development in Indonesia. This happened as a result of an increase in population and higher population mobility in the city of Medan. Due to these factors, there has been growth in development and changes in land use which have brought changes to the physical area. Therefore this research was carried out in modeling the development of residential areas in the city of Medan. The method used in determining the pattern of the direction of physical changes in the city is cellular automata, while to predict the development of urban built-up areas in year n, landusesim and Arc GIS software are used. Thus the expectations of this research are: 1. Predicting the direction of urban built-up land development 2. Analyzing the suitability of the spatial use of Medan City with the spatial plan.
