Abstract The land is a natural resource that has limitations to accommodate human activities. Rapid urban population growth, continuous expansion of urban scale, rapid socioeconomic development, and increased pressure on land resources between residents and urban land are monumental contradictions when urban planning does not match land carrying capacity. Assessing urban land carrying capacity is very important to evaluate and obtain an overview of the land capability level by classifying its capacity to be designed according to the area function; to get an overview of the potential and constraints of each land capability class, and to serve as a basis for future regional development. This research was conducted in Palu City, a national urban area in Indonesia. It has limited regional development because it is an area prone to high earthquake disasters. Developing the area requires assessing the land's carrying capacity, especially to minimize the risk of earthquake hazards. The assessment involves three stages of analysis, namely Mapping Earthquake-Prone Areas with Mapping of Earthquake-Prone Areas with seismic micro-zonation; Land Capability Assessment; and Comparative Analysis of Land Capability and City Planning of Palu 2030. This study's results indicate that 74.56% of Palu City is an earthquake-prone area, dominated by land capability classes type A to B, namely low to very low land capability classes (55.42%). Thus, there are physical limitations in urban development. However, suppose it is integrated with the spatial plan of Palu City until 2030. In that case, most (56.07%) are already in accordance with the carrying capacity of their land, especially in protected areas. However, land development still does not comply with their carrying capacity (35%) in cultivation areas with earthquakes. High and covering an area of 24% of the total area of Palu City requires special attention in the development of its area going forward. The requirement that land use plans that do not comply with their carrying capacity must be strictly controlled, especially in high disaster-prone areas.

<p>Enviromental carrying capacity was measured in three methods,i.e land capability, land carrying capacity and water carrying capacity. Garut Regency which is located at the upstream Cimanuk Watershed has an important role in the sustainability of capacity for downstream area. The aims of this study are: (1) to identify land use in Garut Regency in 2009, (2) to identify land capability in Garut Regency, (3) to assess the suitability of land use with land capability and space pattern in Garut Regency, (4) to identify the status of environmental carrying capacity in Garut Regency, and (5) to set a space pattern based on environmental carrying capacity. Based on the interpretation of Landsat Satellite Imagery in 2009, dryland agriculture has dominated the coverage about 45.4% and forest cover about 23.8%. This study also shows that most area in Garut Regency is belong to Class IV land capability (36.4% of the regency area) without Class I of land capability. Suitabilty evaluation between land cover and land capabilty describe that 48,45% area is suitable, 50.4% area is not suitable and 1.18% area is conditionally suitable depending on limitation factors that affect land capability. Another evaluation between space patern and land capability shown that 59.0% area is suitable, 32.1% area is not suitable, and 8.84% area is conditionally suitable. Both status of land carrying capacity and water carrying capacity are deficit. According to spatial pattern based on land capability and existing forest, space that can be use as the preservation area is about 58.5% of the area, and space that can be use as the cultivation area is about 41.5% of the area of Garut Regency.<br />Keywords : Land capability, land cover/use, spatial pattern, water carrying capacity</p>

<p><em>This study is based on the phenomenon of development in Bima City and affects the physical condition of the region and not evenly of facilities distribution. So that, it is necessary to</em><em> </em><em>analyze the carrying capacity of urban area facilities</em><em> development</em><em> in Mpunda District, Bima City</em><em> </em><em>2015-2035. The aim of this study is to determine the carrying capacity of Mpunda District to provide a suitable area for the development of urban facilities. The analysis uses both qualitative and quantitative description in the Mpunda Di</em><em>s</em><em>trict to describe the general overview </em><em>of </em><em>geographic distribution facilities. The analytical method used is based on Public Works Minister Regulation No.20/PRT/M/2007 about Technical Guidelines for Physical &amp; Environmental analysis</em><em>. </em><em>Analysis facility needs in planning is always based on the development trend of the population. The calculation for projecting the need facilities is based on SNI 03-1733-2004 </em><em>about</em><em> Procedures for Environmental Planning about Housing Design in City and Need of Environmental Facilities. The analysis results</em><em> of the carrying capacity of the urban area facilities development in Mpunda District is by establishing the protected areas based on the physical condition especially for class 4 of land capability which have the lowest ability with the land cover ratio in 2035 is 0%. Controlling as the </em><em>functions of the buffer zone </em><em>must be done for </em><em>class 3 </em><em>of land capability. The development land is directed for the class 1 and class 2 as the cultivation land. </em><em>There </em><em>is </em><em>land development, which is 20%. For the cultivation of land or land suitable for development land directed to land capability and land capability class 1 class 2. </em><em>The r</em><em>atio of </em><em>class 1 </em><em>land </em><em>coverage area</em><em> in 2035 has reached the maximum land cover ratio, </em><em>i.e.</em><em> 70%.

Chinese government has proposed the ecological civilization and requires integrate this issue into land use strategies. So the historical evolution of the land carrying capacity evaluation was first analyzed in this paper. "Population-based" and "industry-oriented" methods were then discussed. Based on this, ecological civilization-related urban land carrying capacity evaluation method is elaborated in this paper. Taking Tianjin Binhai New Area as an example, a preliminary exploration was conducted. The analysis of case studies shows it is practical to carry out the ecological civilization-related method.

Land carrying capacity is an important indicator to quantitatively assess and judge the extents of sustainable economic developing and coexistent harmonizing between human and nature. The significance of land carrying capacity has been highlighted recently by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, which set clear requirements for arable, construction, and ecological lands. Theories and models of land carrying capacity, however, are suffering from the interference of artificial parameter setting and poor applicability. This paper attempts to overcome these limitations and propose a single factor assessment of the carrying capacity of cultivated land, construction land, and ecological land in terms of the relative carrying capacity from the perspective of a single factor assessment. Through mutual comparison, we found that the deviation caused by simulated parameter setting has been eliminated, and the relative status of each province and/or region in China has been obtained, which could provide a reference for the management and utilization of land resources. We argue that China can achieve basic self-sufficiency in both space capacity and food production without placing pressure on the global sustainable development. The results also indicate that carrying capacity state of the advanced development areas such as the eastern coastal region is relatively poor, while the carrying capacity state of the western region is relatively good.
