    abstract = {This study aims to analyze the dynamics of
urban informal economic activities and urban sprawl
handling on the suburbs of Manggala Makassar.
Polarization of spatial function and suburban
modernization becomes the determinant factor for the
conversion of agricultural land use to urban industrial.
This study used quantitative-qualitative approach. The
data was obtained through observation, survey of 224
respondents and documentation. The research results
show that changes in space utilization, changes in the
pattern of urban transport movements causing urban
informal economic activities to develop on the main road
corridors. The dynamics of informal economic activity is
a form of existence and community adaptation in
responding the changing situations in urban areas. Urban
sprawl on the suburbs area of Manggala Makassar has
tendency towards single and unplanned land use patterns
due to the weakness of spatial utilization control, so that,
it impacts on ecosystem degradation, availability of green
open spaces and urban traffic congestion.}
