ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to analyze the Role of the Spatial Planning Forum (FPR) in Implementing the Utilization and Control of Samarinda City Space, which was reviewed using the Creswell Method, which is a qualitative compound case study based on a field study with a Visual Model – Spiral Analysis visualized with NVIVO 12 application data. Primary data source from interviews with the Samarinda City Spatial Planning Forum (FPR). The result that the author found is that the Spatial Planning Policy as a strategic policy of a city certainly needs a wise implementation. The city of Samarinda, which carries the concept of sustainability of a future city echoed by the vision of the City of Civilization, certainly demands an important role from policy actors in the utilization and control of urban spatial planning. The authority carried out by the Samarinda City Spatial Planning Forum (FPR) has a role in providing technical recommendations for both planning and spatial control involving multi-actors. The design carried out in the Samarinda City Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2023 concerning the RTRW for 2023–2042 is carried out with the synergy of the Institution and follows the applicable legal rules, this collaboration is evidenced by the implementation of controlling the dynamics of urban development, which was previously dominated by the mining sector towards the development of a more sustainable trade, service, and industrial sector. This means that the use of space is carried out in a planned, systematic, and oriented manner in a balance between economic development and environmental sustainability.
