Governing green open space in indonesia: barriers and opportunities to enhancing enviromental quality

This article discusses the enhancing of governing green open space in Indonesia. It began by looking at the current condition of green open space in Indonesia, highlighting the barriers faced in governing these areas, looking at opportunities to enhancing, and making recommendations to improve green open space governance. Literature review on governance frameworks that can maximize the potential of green open spaces in Indonesia. The results of this study show that there are several constraints in governing green open spaces, including less awareness and understanding among stakeholders, limited funding and resources, inadequate urban planning, limited community involvement, limited law enforcement and monitoring, urbanization and land scarcity, and weak coordination among government agencies in their management bodies. Our findings point to opportunities in governing greenspace areas, by learning from successful projects, exploring global good practices; innovative financing and partnerships; integrating greenspace into urban planning for cohesive neighborhoods; engaging communities for long-term success and shared responsibility; raising awareness of the value of greenspace through educational campaigns; and utilizing technology for data-driven decision-making and community participation. These opportunities contribute to policy recommendations that can be used by the central government and local governments to improve green open space governance in Indonesia.

ANALYSIS OF GREEN OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT IN THREE PARKS IN KUPANG CITY (Case Study: Nostalgia Park, Ina Bo'i Park And Tirosa Park)

The purpose of this research is to know the role of government in the management of greenopen space in three city parks, knowing the implementation of Green Open Space governancein Three City Parks, knowing the benefits of green open space in three City Parks (NostalgiaPark, Ina Bo'I and Tirosa Park). This research was carried out in Nostalgia Park, Ina Bo'I Parkand Tirosa Park from October to November 2021 with a total of 384 respondents Datacollection techniques used in this study are interviews, questionnaires, documents and archives.From the data collected, a descriptive qualitative data analysis was carried out. The results ofthis study indicate that the management of green open spaces in three city parks by the KupangCity Environment and Hygiene Service describes four aspects, namely planning, organization,implementation and supervision. The implementation of Green Open Space governance in thethree city parks has several conceptual elaborations, namely, the location of the city park isadjusted to the direction of the RTRWK (City Spatial Planning) and still pays attention to thecity parks that already exist today. The activities developed are a combination of ecologicalinterests, family tourism and limited sports. The types of plants developed are prioritized ontypical/local plants and plants that have aesthetic value and shade plants. In terms of thebenefits of green open space for visitors, 24% of the community can gather with friends andfamily, 21% enjoy the scenery and refreshment, 15% reduce stress from work, 14% can getfresh air and can exercise and 12% enjoy the garden atmosphere.

Green Open Space Governance Strategy Against City Development in East Jakarta Mayor Perspective of Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning

The existence of Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning spatial planning is a shared hope, both for the local government and the community in East Jakarta Municipality. Urban problems arise due to unclear urban spatial planning, as well as inconsistencies in environmental management. The purpose of this study is to explain the importance of managing urban spatial planning as a strategy for designing and developing environmentally friendly areas in East Jakarta Municipality based on Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning. The research method used is qualitative with a normative and empirical juridical approach. The results of the study found that one of the benchmarks for the application of the Green City concept is the existence of Green Open Space (RTH) in urban areas. Green Open Space in a city must meet a minimum area of 30% of the total land area, with a composition of 20% public green open space and 10% private green open space (Law No. 26 of 2007).

ANALISIS TATA KELOLA RUANG TERBUKA HIJAU TERHADAP PEMBANGUNAN KOTA DI KABUPATEN MAJENE

The research objective is to describe how the implementation of green open space governance in urban development in Majene Regency. This research uses descriptive analysis and explanation methods. In analyzing the data obtained, researchers used qualitative descriptive techniques that describe and explain the results of the study. The results showed that the implementation of green open space governance in Majene district is self-managed and is the responsibility of the Regional Work Units (SKPD) in charge of each green open space according to the criteria and types.

A DSR Methodology for Conceptual Solution Development of Public Open Space Governance

Considering the importance of the 11th Sustainable Development Goal on sustainable cities and communities and the New Urban Agenda, it is imperative to address one of today’s crucial urban planning challenges, which concerns overexploitation, mismanagement, and quality issues related to public parks and state-owned public open space (POS). Selecting an appropriate methodological framework to formulate a solution to cope with the encountered challenges is necessary; however, finding a suitable one is difficult as there is a lack of research, particularly on the step-by-step development of a conceptual countermeasure (solution). Against this background, we adopted the revised design science research (DSR) framework and its procedural methodology to formulate a conceptual solution, represented as an artifact, within the institutional-social-ecological context of Sabah, Malaysia. The data obtained for the development and validation of the solution were secondary, based on a review via content analysis of prior studies. The proposed conceptual artifact (self-governing collective action) based on the root causes (i.e. property rights and transaction costs issues) from the ‘why’ analysis was then validated via the institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework using its social-ecological system (SES) criteria. The main contribution of this study is to showcase the application and relevancy of the DSR framework for urban and environmental planning research through a problem-solution analysis by demonstrating the process of how the artifact was systematically constructed, validated and standardised. It was found that the proposed conceptual solution can be considered valid and appropriate to address the local governance issues of POS. Abstrak. Mempertimbangkan pentingnya Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan ke-11 tentang Kota dan Komunitas yang Berkelanjutan dan Agenda Perkotaan Baru, penting untuk mengatasi salah satu tantangan perencanaan kota yang krusial saat ini terkait dengan permasalahan eksploitasi yang berlebihan, salah kelola, dan kualitas taman maupun ruang terbuka milik publik/negara (POS). Mencari kerangka metodologi yang tepat untuk mengatasi tantangan tersebut dirasakan perlu, tetapi menemukan yang cocok masih sulit karena kurangnya penelitian, terutama tahapan dan langkah mengembangkan konsep tindakan penanggulangan. Dengan latar belakang ini, dalam konteks kelembagaan-sosial-ekologis Sabah, Malaysia, kami mengadopsi kerangka kerja Penelitian Ilmu Desain (DSR) yang telah direvisi dan metodologi proseduralnya untuk merumuskan solusi konseptual yang direpresentasikan sebagai artefak. Data yang diperoleh untuk pengembangan dan validasi solusi adalah data sekunder, berdasarkan tinjauan melalui analisis konten dari studi sebelumnya. Artefak konseptual yang diusulkan (tindakan kolektif yang mengatur diri sendiri) berdasarkan akar penyebab (yaitu, masalah hak milik dan biaya transaksi) dari analisis 'mengapa'yang  kemudian divalidasi melalui kerangka Analisis dan Pengembangan Kelembagaan (IAD) dengan menggunakan kriteria social-ecological system (SES). Kontribusi utama studi ini adalah penerapan dan relevansi kerangka DSR dalam penelitian perencanaan kota dan lingkungan melalui analisis solusi masalah, dengan menunjukkan proses bagaimana artefak dibangun, divalidasi, dan distandarisasi secara sistematis. Akhirnya, artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa solusi konseptual yang diusulkan dianggap valid dan sesuai untuk mengatasi masalah tata kelola lokal POS. Kata kunci.

Institutions on Public Open Space Governance

Meagre discussion on the institutional property-rights structure essence has rudimentarily determined the POS governance and its quality. Thus, two objectives are highlighted; (i) to examine Sabah's current practice (rights distribution) in urban-rural POS governance and (ii) to explore the POS social dilemmas that tied in with such institution. Reviews of interdisciplinary analytic perspectives, content analysis on documents and semi-structured interviews were performed. The practice with diverse property-rights structure is indicatively perceived as property-rights tragedies' which ensue in sub-optimal POS and quality of life issues. Therefore, re-engineering of POS market via dynamic property-rights re-assignment is postulated as the panacea for improved well-being.

Ostrom’s Design Principles in Residential Public Open Space Governance: Conceptual Framework and Literature Review

Various measures were undertaken to internalize the state-owned common pool resource (CPR) based public open space’s (POS) externalities which arisen from the perennial commons’ dilemmas, yet, to date, not a single adaptive governance strategy has been discovered. Thus, a review of trans-disciplinary analytic perspectives is required, which thereof, highlights the objective of the paper i.e., to propose Ostrom’s common-property-based self-organizing eight design principles by examining how can they be adaptably applied in governing the residential commons, POS (particularly landed property) in the Malaysian context. Two study areas: states of Sabah and Selangor, of different institutional POS governance, were a priori fleshed out. Succinctly, Ostrom’s principles are basic, insightful, well-defined, organized, and widely-applicable, which have enabled us to consent that there is certainly a void for both states to adapt her oeuvre as a dynamic panacea in POS governance. This paper infers that Ostrom’s principles are a means to improve the status quo of POS’ quality (as POS rejuvenation) which postulates stakeholders to reckon it as a new paradigm in the urban design and planning perspective
