OPTIMIZATION OF EAST FLOOD CANAL BOUNDARY AS URBAN PUBLIC GREEN OPEN SPACE (CASE STUDY: BANJIR KANAL TIMUR, EAST JAKARTA)

Abstract

East Flood Canal is a canal built to handle flooding in the city of Jakarta. In addition to the canal flow as the main element, there are also borders on the left and right of the canal as supporting elements of the Banjir Kanal Timur. The border area of the Banjir Kanal Timur has the potential to be used as a green open space or public open space that helps increase the functional, ecological and aesthetic value of the city. The objective of this study is to provide input to optimize the Banjir Kanal Timur border as a public open space while still prioritizing the hydrological and ecological functions This research uses rationalistic and descriptive methods. Data was obtained through observation, interviews and theoretical data, established regulations. The research location was divided into several zones to facilitate analysis. From the results of this study it was found that the boundaries of Banjir kanal Timur can be utilized as a shared public green open space. The existing condition of its land use is still not optimal, does not have adequate facilities and infrastructure as a public area with recreational activities. Limitations of the study – From the results of this study it was found that the boundaries of the Banjir Kanal Timur can be mandated as a team or togetherness of public green spaces. The definition of a community is a social group that shares an environment with each other. This research uses community theory in developing public green open spaces on the banks of the Banjir Kanal Timur through the concept of inclusive landscape design.
