Abstract: This study is testing for the truth of development and correctly implementation from spatial plans document in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, East Kalimantan has 127.346,92 km² areas which divided into 10 cities. Spatial plans in East Kalimantan was divided into spatial structure, infrastructure, special pattern, natural disaster areas, geological protected areas, mining areas, strategic areas, outline, and forest management areas. The biggest potential from East Kalimantan is mining product and palm oil product. In 2016 East Kalimantan was taken a document about spatial plans for 20 years planning until 2036. The result until 2019, there is some problems with the implementation of the suitability of mining and palm oil areal. In mining areal case, the biggest permission was developed in residential areas with number 75,22% which mean 2.062.075,5 hectare areas. The same problem has happened in palm oil areal that develop in 46,7% which mean 543.021,92 hectare areas. Spatial planning is a process to create spatial structure and spatial pattern that included making and appointment of spatial plans. Spatial planning was divided in national scope, province scope, city scope, and sub-district scope. Another result was showed that in mining and oil palm areas already has overlapping areas in 3,53% or 449.753,53 hectare areas. This condition was described that in East Kalimantan has some problems in spatial planning.
