STUDY OF THE ROLE OF GREEN OPEN SPACE IN DKI JAKARTA AS AN AMENITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

Green open spaces are often incompatible with the functions they should have. In the last few years, DKI Jakarta has continued RTH construction, but the implementation has been neglected, resulting in non-compliance with RTH requirements. Green open spaces in Kota Hijau are frequently located in the outskirts of DKI Jakarta, yet, in reality, the area allocated to green open space has not met the mandated 30% minimum requirement. The creation of well-designed green open spaces is crucial to providing essential amenities for the community. This study aims to analyze thermal comfort levels, community activities, and security in three parks in DKI Jakarta. The average Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) value of 24.5 suggests favorable conditions below the threshold of 27. Although the current state is considered satisfactory, continuous monitoring and efforts are recommended to maintain optimal THI conditions. Additionally, an evaluation of visitor comfort in the Green Open Spaces (RTH) of DKI Jakarta, based on a questionnaire, revealed a reasonably comfortable score of 3.6 out of 5. Consequently, there is a need to improve facility quality to enhance visitor comfort. The security questionnaire results from three parks in DKI Jakarta indicate a sufficiently safe environment, with an overall score of 3.6 out of 5. However, it is advisable to augment security facilities and personnel to further enhance the sense of safety for park visitors. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of optimizing and expanding green open spaces in DKI Jakarta, not only for thermal comfort but also for the overall well-being, security, and recreational needs of its urban residents.
