The existence of the park must provide a sense of security for its users in social interaction so as to increase public awareness through their relationship with the urban environment in creating sustainable urban life. From previous studies, the purpose of this study is to elaborate proximity (geography) with security perceptions (as part of environmental psychology) in encouragement of public space use. There is a debate about the aspects of proximity and encouragement to use the park, but related to the perception of security is still limited, especially in Indonesia. Proximity is much discussed in the science of geography, while the security perception in this study is an important entry point in park planning which plays an important role in strengthening urban communities. People perceptions might be indicated as one of the most interesting parts of human-geographic researches. This research uses descriptive quantitative method that aims to explain the extent of the encouragement of park use based on security perceptions through the stages of spatial mapping, data collection and through questionnaires. The spatial analysis conducted in this study is to calculate analysis through the proximity between the locations of the house from the respondents to the park with the use of transportation modes through Shortest Path Trace (SPT) and Security Perception (SP) method of spatial analysis spatial mapping using ArcGIS 10.3 and compare it with the answers from respondents related to security perceptions with the proximity of the park location. The results of this study indicate that proximity has a low significance on security perceptions of the respondents' that there is a weak link between proximity and park usage based on security perceptions in encouragement use of park.
