Abstract

This study analyzes the suitability of Ambon city landscape for settlement development purposes. This research utilizes spatial analysis to evaluate the characteristics of the terrain shape and Land Use Territory (WTU) in the context of settlement suitability. This research uses DEM (Digital Elevation Model) to generate slope and elevation or altitude which is later used to create terrain shape map and business land area map . these studies involve the collection and integration of landscape data, such as topography, land use, vegetation, and other environmental factors. Then, spatial analysis methods are used to assess the suitability of the landscape for settlement by considering factors such as accessibility, availability of essential services, and potential environmental impacts.Making landscape suitability using the weighted sum overlay method. The results showed that the landscape in Ambon City that is suitable for settlement development is 30,456.94 ha and the unsuitable one has an area of 16,890.38 ha. The results of this study provide insight into the most suitable locations for settlements based on physical and environmental factors. The results of this study are expected to support sustainable urban planning in Ambon by considering aspects of landscape suitability.
