Received 21 December 2022; Revised 16 February 2023; Accepted 19 February 2023; Published 04 March 2023 Abstract Makassar, an Indonesian city, is situated on the south-western coast of Sulawesi Island. It is the largest commercial centre in eastern Indonesia, and traffic congestion is a problem there. Movement management must establish sufficient and well- organized parking areas, as well as a good and transparent system to eliminate unmonitored restitution funds, in order to address these issues. To address parking issues in Makassar, a legal and technical strategy is developed, with an emphasis on inclusiveness and including both legal and illegal parking spaces. The integrated parking concept is comprised of a mobile, everywhere-accessible parking area reservation system, a vehicle registration system based on licence plate numbers, and an effective data management system. 180 million Indonesian Rupiah are spent on all equipment and activity installations (IDR). At least 50 locations utilising this system will be required for a minimum vehicle range of 250,000 units, resulting in an approximate capital cost of 9 billion rupiah. The first clause describes the application of minimum parking fees to flat parking fees (generally 2 thousand rupiah). During a single parking period, it is anticipated that 250,000 vehicles will utilise this parking system if all parking spaces are occupied simultaneously. Government and investors can raise 250 million rupiah in investment capital assuming a 50:50 profit split. Revenue can reach billions of rupiah with just four iterations.

Makassar, which is situated on the south- western coast of Sulawesi Island, is the most important commercial centre in eastern Indonesia. This makes Makassar an active and bustling metropolis. Similar to other major metropolitan areas, Makassar faces urban problems such as traffic congestion. The majority of traffic congestion in Makassar City is caused by the number of vehicles that exceeds the road's capacity at certain times and is distributed throughout nearly every suburb. Additionally, roughly all roadside obstructions in Makassar City are occupied by unauthorised parking. Parking on the street reduces road capacity. The parking regulations of Makassar City are not yet fully integrated and regulated. As in the majority of Indonesian cities, parking management in Makassar relies on "parking attendants" to organise and direct vehicles in parking lots. The majority of these parking attendants are unemployed and involved in their respective communities.
