kota) sepertinya memang sulit dihindari ditengah-tengah pesatnya perkembangan
kota. Masuknya elemen-elemen arsitektural yang menyandang berbagai gelar fungsi
di Lapangan Merdeka memang sudah terjadi sejak zaman kolonial dulu maupun
setelah masa kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia. Namun demikian, perubahan tata
guna lahan yang signifikan terjadi pada tahun 2005 ketika pembangunan
“Merdeka Walk“ di laksanakan di sisi Baratnya.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi masyarakat terhadap
perubahan tata guna lahan (skala mikro perancangan kota) Lapangan Merdeka
Medan.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif meliputi sampel dari populasi
27 Kecamatan di Kotamadya Medan. Pemilihan sample menggunakan teknik
probability sampling dengan jenis proposionite stratified random sampling.
Pengumpulan data dengan teknik kuisioner dan pengolahannya menggunakan
statistik deskriptif dengan bantuan program SPSS. Pengukuran data menggunakan

Sebagai kesimpulan penelitian didapati bahwa persepsi publik Kota Medan
mengenai perubahan tata guna lahan Lapangan Merdeka Medan cenderung tidak
setuju baik dari aspek ekonomi, sosial, lingkungan dan budaya. Namun demikian, ada
penemuan menarik dalam penelitian ini dimana mayoritas responden setuju dengan
keberadaan Merdeka Walk yang menawarkan fungsi kuliner yang memang
