Abstract
This research aimed to evaluate the quality of residential ecosystem at Lowokwaru District, Malang. The research was conducted in five different densities residences namely BCT (Bukit Cemara Tujuh), BHPH (Bukit Hijau & Permata Hijau), BP (Bumi Palapa), GJM (Graha Jati Mulya, and PJ (Permata Jingga) and a traditional residence TW (Tunggul Wulung) as a reference, using a purposive sampling method. In each sampling sites, we observed the quality of vegetation of Green Open Space (GOS), microclimate, geography, comfortable index, and ecosystem services. Data were analysed by PCA and clustered by using PAST 3.0 software. The results showed GOS coverage in all locations met the government standard of Malang City and showed similar performance in comfort, although each residence having varied GOS distribution. House density affected the GOS coverage dominating by non-native trees with C and D stratification. Furthermore, GOS vegetation in BP effectively reduced dust deposition, noise and attracted wild bird visitors such as Pycononotus aurigaster. Besides BP, PJ and GJM became potential eco-friendly residences by planting more native trees species.
