One of the main resources in spatial planning is land. However, unfortunately, the availability of land in good condition to meet the demand for land is quite limited. In some cases, this leads to errors or mismatches in land use, which can cause land degradation and result in disasters. This can be considered as negative externalities and is detrimental. The Special Region of Yogyakarta Province (DIY) is a province with various uses, where the city of Yogyakarta serves as the center of urban development, and the surrounding regencies provide agricultural or plantation products that are essential for the community. Additionally, DIY has natural beauty that needs to be preserved and can be developed as a tourist attraction. Based on these factors, evaluating the suitability of land use becomes crucial in assessing land use suitability and the DIY Provincial spatial plan based on its carrying capacity. One of the approaches is using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to assess land suitability. The criteria used for land suitability are slope, erosion, soil type, soil drainage, soil permeability, and rock type. The research results show that DIY Province has land suitability classes ranging from Class I to Class VIII, but Class V is not found. The dominant land suitability classes are Class IV and Class VI. This indicates that DIY Province faces specific constraints, especially in cultivation land use. Furthermore, the study also reveals that there are inconsistencies in land use, both in existing land use and in the planned spatial patterns based on the DIY Provincial Spatial Plan for 2019-2039, considering their respective suitability. Therefore, stakeholders in spatial planning need to make adjustments and preventive efforts while considering existing urban development scenarios to address and mitigate the impacts that may arise from these inconsistencies.
