The Framework of Sustainable Temporary Public Open Space Concept (Case Study: Paseban Kampung, Jakarta, Indonesia)

Abstract

Population development and growth have triggered the need for public space. Unfortunately, the existence of public open space is increasingly neglected. Limited land also triggers the use of public open space for various activities depending on the need of the users who use the open space interchangeably. This type of open space is called temporary public open space. There have been many studies examining public space, where writers have focused on the presence of public space in the open space in their city for various activities. The phenomenon of the presence of temporary public open space is viewed from production space theory and the perspective of environmental science towards sustainability. The phenomenon of temporary public space in the city of Kampung Paseban is one example that has provided a larger negative impact than positive impact, resulting in exceeding the environmental capacity. The purpose of this research is to develop a framework of a sustainable temporary public open space concept that will not disturb the balance of ecological, social and economic aspects. This research applies qualitative methods, i.e. to understand the phenomenon in the field comprehensively by conducting observations and interviews with local people about the presence of temporary public open space. The results of this research indicate that the presence of temporary public open space is essential and is influenced by people’s use of time and behaviour. To implement a sustainable temporary public open space, community empowerment is needed using cooperation between the public sector, private sector and community. A recommendation from this research is that the developed conceptual framework needs to be quantitatively analysed with SEM, to determine the influence of the involved variables.
