As for mapping using GPS instruments (Global Positioning System) and QGIS software (Quantum Geography Information System).

The result of this study shows that, all the parks in Denpasar have spatial layout based on mandala concept, namely: (1) Main mandala as head (ulu setra) in the form of Pura Prajapati building; (2) Madia mandala is a body (ragan setra) as a burial place corpse, arson, and pengabenan ceremony; (3) Nista mandala as foot (cokor/sor setra) area which functioned as garbage dump or rest of upakara.
