The results of this study show the condition of environmental services in the city of Padang at the time of the research conducted in 2017 in the aspect of habitat quality showed significant decline until 2030, the intervention of spatial pattern (RTRW) Padang city able to provide an increase in the area of excellent quality from 51.36% to 52.27%, so the role of RTRW is very significant in maintaining and improving the quality of habitat in Padang City. © 2018, GEOMATE International Society.
