Abstract

Urban areas as the center of regional growth face various challenges in the future. Environmental degradation, natural disasters, and climate change result in a declining quality of life in urban areas. In response to the global challenges, various cities have developed the concept of Green Infrastructure through an ecological approach and achieved environmental sustainability. Green infrastructure is an interconnected green space network planned to manage natural resources conservation and urban utilities based on urban ecology. Green infrastructure is considered a sustainable and resilient infrastructure that also provides ecological, economic, and social benefits through natural solutions. The Green City Roadmap in 2015 has initiated the development of the Green Infrastructure Concept in Indonesia, which developed from a contextual paradigm shift of Green Open Space. In 2018, the Ministry of Public Works had proposed a guideline for Planning Green Space and Infrastructure as a follow-up to the Green City Roadmap. However, primarily Indonesia’s major cities have not optimized green infrastructure planning until now. This short communication aims to analyze the development policy of green infrastructure planning, also to determine challenges and ideas for policy implementation. Method used in this study is document analysis of the proposed guideline for Planning Green Space and Infrastructure. The study showed the critical role of green space and infrastructure planning policy in Indonesia as a connected and accessible strategic network of green spaces with multifunctionality in response to environmental and socio-economic issues. However, this study found varying, overlapping and unseated development policies. Conducting a further analysis to determine the critical components of national and regional policy development related to green infrastructure planning is strongly recommended.
