Abstract

Balikpapan is no longer as an Oil City oriented towards oil drilling, but is limited to processing services only, and is developed through a dynamic, harmonious and green service city. In the middle of this transformation process, Balikpapan is also committed to realizing Balikpapan a Smart City, where one of the components is Smart Branding. Economic transformation have an impact on environmental changes. The level of environmental safety is inversely proportional to the branding of Balikpapan. The criteria for occupancy eligibility are a sense of security and comfort. Comfort in urban areas can be realized by creating comfortable spaces to live in. Before making major efforts to develop technology for recognition of the Balikpapan smart city, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the level of residential environmental security based on one of the smart city components.. Analyze the level of the Settlement Index using descriptive statistics with distribution pattern maps and hexagonal diagrams. The results of the analysis show that the physical aspects of the city, public facilities, and economic opportunities have the highest index which affects the improvement of environmental security. The physical aspect of the city with the dominant index is the distribution of city image elements. In addition, it is also supported by economic facilities and the development of the creative industry.
