Mapping the green open spaces system in the sub-district of Tangerang, Tangerang City of Banten

Abstract

Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning states that the proportion of green open space in a city area is at least 30 (thirty) percent of the area of an urban area. Tangerang city as one of the cities in the Greater Jakarta area with an area of 17,729,746 hectares, has 13 districts. One of them is Tangerang District which has the most extensive and diverse green open space compared to other districts, but it has not reached 30 percent. In addition, the existing green open space is not connected to one another, so it has not formed a system that can increase the green open space. This study is to find out whether green open space in Tangerang sub-district has the opportunity to form a green space system, in an effort to increase its area. Examination of the green space system can be done by looking at the landscape structure and land use. The overlay method is used to determine the opportunities and green space system that is suitable for Tangerang sub-districts. The results showed that the green open space in Tangerang sub-district had the opportunity to be developed as a green open space system with a linear pattern.
