**2. Method**

The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach because it has characteristics that are in accordance with qualitative research according to Sugiyono [3] and Creswell, John W. [4], which is to describe conditions explained in qualitative words, answer any research questions and how, understand the meaning of what is seen, and is not done for the purpose of generalizing. A qualitative descriptive method was used to describe what was done or existed and the process that went through in the preparation of the Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR) for the urban area of Sendawar Timur, West Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan Province. Apart from that, data from other studies that have been carried out by the author regarding the preparation of OSS in the implementation of investment services by local governments, and results of sharing experience in implementing RDTR preparation in other areas with fellow planners. Data collection were carried out using documentation, observation, and interview techniques. The documentation technique is carried out by compiling all the results of the RDTR planning process starting from the facts and analysis books, plan books, focus group discussion (FGD) minutes, consultation/assistant minutes, KLHS documents, governor recommendations, and substance approval from the ATR ministry, and documents—other related documents. Observation techniques are carried out by researchers looking directly at the planned area, as well

as several consultation meetings and FGDs. Interviews were conducted with experts directly involved in the process of data collection and RDTR planning, mapping surveyors, and operationalization of the concept of innovation, using the Schumpeterian approach taken from the opinion of Kogabayef Timur [5], which explains that "… Innovation consists of the generation of a new idea and its implementation into a new product, process or service. .." In the opinion of Rowley J. et al. (2011 in Timur [5]), innovation includes four types of innovation, namely paradigm innovation, process innovation, product innovation, and position innovation. In this study, because in spatial planning all processes and procedures have been regulated in the guidelines, innovation is seen in the type of product innovation, namely all new ideas, which are then outlined in the results/products of the planning.
