Abstract
Banjarmasin which is known as “the thousands river city” has avery close relationship with the waterfront. However, the pressure toupgrade the quality and quantity of urban areas has urged the localgovernment to do some new projects by sacrificing some natural cityelements. This has transformed Banjarmasin’s urban waterfront and riversin many ways. This study conducted to know the effect of urban waterfrontdevelopment in forming the green space in a stream corridorneighbourhood. For this purpose, green neighbourhood elements have beenused to indicate: how the waterfront development has affected theneighbourhood; the respond of local residents of the urban waterfrontdevelopment; and as the result is the urgent need of green spaces in theneighbourhood of stream corridors. The contents of these indicators areillustrated by analysing a stream corridor neighbourhood in Banjarmasincalled Sungai Bilu. This article was based on post evaluation andunderlying ideas of how the urban waterfront transformation has affectedthe need of public green open spaces in the neighbourhoods.
Highlights
Urban waterfront development has a significant role in shaping the green space and neighbourhood of the city and public life
Some elements that already implemented in Sungai Bilu are green energy, green water, and green space in form of vegetation
The green space element as the main focus in this research can be seen from potted plants and hanging potted plants that provided in each private yard along the stream corridor and the promenade create a whole different new look and design of green spaces
Summary
Urban waterfront development has a significant role in shaping the green space and neighbourhood of the city and public life. Its elements such as available land, clean water and urban revitalization that based on sustainable development showed how those city resources can be integrated into a spatial planning process[1,2,3]. The urban stream corridor is part of the watershed and blue open water area which accommodated the microhabitat system. It can be natural or man-made, such as forest, agricultural field, rural areas, etc. Vegetation that sufficient for a stream corridor can affect and protect the corridor as sun shading, controlling the quality of water, and prevent erosion
