The behaviour architectural approach on children public space in Jakarta to create sustainable environment

Abstract

In recent years the city government of Jakarta has built Child Friendly Open Public Spaces (RPTRA) throughout the Jakarta area. In order to create sustainable environment in public space, study about existing condition of RPTRA in Jakarta is needed. The study conducted through descriptive method. Result of the study showed that the existing conditions of RPTRA are still inadequate, so a re-design of this public space is needed. The RPTRA redesign project aims to provide a playroom in accordance with the needs of each age group, as well as provide space for non-formal education facilities for the surrounding community as one of the fulfillments of educational programs in the RPTRA. The concept of the design is a playground design that fits the needs of each age group of children and a flexible learning space.
