RELOCATION AND SPATIAL ACCESS: THE CASE OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS IN DEVELOPING THE NEW CITY OF TANJUNG BUNGA, MAKASSAR, INDONESIA

This research examined the relationship between the development of housing in urban areas and the access of the spatial local residents, especially for the poor people. The location of this research was in Kelurahan of Tanjung Merdeka, Makassar, which became the location of the new city development of Tanjung Bunga, and several other areas that become the new residential area. The result of this research showed that the sustainability of the local resident after relocation tends to decrease in the sense of the quality as the consequences of the difficulties of their access to get new location for settlement and they also found difficulties to get new jobs in the new area and they had to pay very expensive public transportation. Although they got something such as money from the property corporation in which they spent their money based on their ability to buy and sell the land without efforts to provide the decent housing for the continuation of their life and it was thought as a major cause of this problem.
