Studies that assessing carrying capacity in urban areas are currently limited. The study regarding carrying capacity that used in the formulation of spatial planning refers to the environmental context. The content of feasibility study in the process of formulating a spatial planning policy does not show the overall performance of the urban area in supporting its activities. This research is important to complete the content. The purpose of this study is to assess the carrying capacity of urban areas as a basis for formulating spatial planning policy recommendations. In general, this study uses a quantitative approach that is described descriptively, identifying factors that are considered in assessing the carrying capacity of urban areas are carried out exploratively. The analytical method that was used in this study is a comparative analysis based on standard values (benchmarks) and indicator values. Data analysis techniques used are keyword analysis, data normalization, composite indicator analysis and gap analysis. Data collection techniques are using literature review, library surveys in the form of: statistical data and document data. The analysis shows that the level of carrying capacity of the urban area of Bandung is 0.774 and Cimahi City is 0.674. They are classified as medium carrying capacity, meaning that the two regions are quite optimal in supporting their urban activities. Bandung Regency is 0.613 and West Bandung Regency is 0.594. They are both classified as underperforming, meaning that the two regions are less than optimal in supporting their urban activities. The results of the comparison between the values in each region against the standard values, compared with the plan or related policies in the study area resulted in a spatial planning policy recommendation. The policy is non-spatial, it divided into two forms (1) policy implications and (2) alternative policies compiled based on priority scale. This study provides alternative methods in assessing the carrying capacity of urban areas so that they can contribute in enriching the treasury of knowledge, especially in the area of regional and urban planning.
