Determining strategic locations for rental housing development with GIS and expert systems around the educational area of Universitas Sulawesi Barat
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3846/gac.2026.22599Abstract
Agglomeration is no longer confined to the economic sector but has also expanded into education, generating concentration effects around higher-education institutions. A similar phenomenon is evident around the campus of Universitas Sulawesi Barat in Majene Regency, where the rapid growth of rental housing risks triggering uncontrolled urban sprawl. This study aims to (1) identify the key factors influencing the selection of potential locations for rental housing and (2) determine the most suitable locations based on these factors. A quantitative approach was applied, integrating Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA) within a Geographic Information System (GIS) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as an expert-system method. The findings show that the influencing factors are grouped into three categories: environmental physical (development suitability based on land capability), socio-economic (comfort, proximity to campus, and access to public facilities), and policy (spatial planning guidelines). Expert weighting yielded environ- mental physical factors as the dominant criterion (69.9%), followed by policy (16.9%) and socio-economic factors (13.2%). The classified results identify high-potential rental housing areas covering 858.95 hectares (25.64% of Banggae Timur Subdistrict), distributed across 12 villages. The framework provides a transparent and replicable model for guiding education-led urban development in similar regional contexts.
