Spatial Structure Evaluation of Pekalongan Regency

Abstract

Pekalongan Regency is a strategic area of Central Java Province on the North Coast experiencing spatial and physical changes. This research aims to evaluate the existing spatial structure of Pekalongan Regency with the spatial structure of Pekalongan Regency in development planning documents with a quantitative descriptive approach using Analysis of Scalogram, Analysisi of Centrality Index, and analysis of Kernel Density then comparing it with the Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW) of Pekalongan Regency for 2011 – 2031. The result is that based on Analysis of Scalogram, the local activity center of Pekalongan Regency with city order I is Kedungwuni District and Kajen District, this is different from the RTRW of Pekalongan Regency for 2011 -2031 which mentions Kedungwuni district as the center of local promotional activity for order 2. Then by using analysis of Marshal Centrality Index, it is also known that the local activity center of Pekalongan Regency is in two districts, namely Kajen district and Kedungwuni district, which is different from the determination of the Pekalongan Regency Spatial Planning (RTRW) in 2011 - 2031. By using analysis of Kernel Density, it is known that Kedungwuni District, Buaran District and Wiradesa District, is the center of local activity with order I. The conclusion is that the Spatial Structure in the Spatial Document Planning (RTRW) of Pekalongan Regency for 2011 - 2031 needs to be revised because there is a shift in the spatial structure based on the results of the analysis above so that development in Pekalongan Regency is appropriate according to planning.
