Planning villa development in complex topographic areas requires accurate and detailed terrain information to ensure safety, construction efficiency, and environmental sustainability. This study aims to utilize LiDAR data to generate a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and conduct slope analysis to support villa development planning in Budo Village, Wori District, North Minahasa Regency. The research employed a quantitative applied approach using LiDAR point cloud data processed through classification, filtering, and interpolation to produce a DTM, followed by slope analysis using GIS. The results show that the study area has elevation variations between ±73 and ±173 meters above sea level with a vertical RMSE accuracy of 0.487 meters, classified as very good. Slope classification indicates that flat (0–8%) and gentle (8–15%) areas dominate the central region and are highly suitable for villa development due to low geotechnical risk and minimal earthwork requirements.
