The study found that land uses such as residential, trade/services, port, and social facilities have been developing dynamically in the downtown Makassar until nowadays. These phenomenon lead to subsiding or disappearance of other land uses such as paddy fields, township, gardens, open spaces, grave, and jail. The development ware strongly influenced by the dynamics of economic development, science, and urban technology, especially on trade and settlement facilities. The direction of urban development is dominant to the East and South due to the availability of vacant land and access to hinterland. Similarly, the development of roads in the downtown area also occurs dynamically as the loss of some roads as a result of infrastructure and housing construction. It is strongly associated with urban urbanization process due to the modernization. Facing that, it is necessary to maintain urban heritage strategy among others: actualization of local wisdom and heritage, involving each ethnic in development, revitalizing area based on history and culture, and area management.
