Assessing the Alignment of Spatial Planning Directives and Aviation Safety and Security Aviation Operations within the Airport Public Safety Zone (PSZ)

Public Safety Zones (PSZs) surrounding airports safeguard airport operations and nearby communities from potential hazards. This study employs Directed Content Analysis to investigate the alignment between spatial planning directives and aviation safety and security standards within Airport PSZs. Focusing on Iswahjudi Military Airport in Indonesia, the research identifies critical components and rules governing aviation safety within PSZs and evaluates their alignment into spatial planning documents. The analysis reveals significant gaps and inconsistencies, highlighting the need for policymakers to revise directives to enhance risk mitigation and clarity. Recommendations include incorporating missing rules, improving consistency between directives and zoning maps, and enhancing stakeholder coordination. This study contributes a comprehensive understanding of PSZ regulation challenges and provides valuable insights for stakeholders aiming to strengthen aviation safety in airport PSZ areas.
