Fishing Village Belawan Medan is one of the unplanned settlements located in the coastal area of Medan City, Indonesia. Social life (activities and behavior) has an influence on the distribution of space usage in these settlements. This can be seen from the uneven function of the use of space and facilities owned in this settlement. In addition, economic life also has an influence on the distribution of space usage. This is evidenced by the low economic community in this settlement. The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution of spatial use that occurred in unplanned settlements. Also, it aims to find the impact of socio-economic life on the distribution and spread of space use in the region. The data were collected by observation (direct observation) and distributing questionnaires to the community living in Fishing Village Belawan. In addition, the research is also reinforced by the theory that has a link between the influence of socio-economic life with the distribution of space usage. The results of this study indicate that the socio-economic activities conducted simultaneously will make a spot location to be crowded. As with the existence of a little market which became an area where the community gathering settlement Fishing Village Belawan Medan.
