“…The number of species in a pekarangan varied from place to place according to the local physical circumstances, the ecological characteristics of the plants, animal species, socioeconomic factors, and cultural factors (Abdoellah 1991). Arifin (1998) and Arifin et al (1998) showed that the number of plant species present varied widely among the (Table 2). Mean species number per pekarangan did not differ markedly between the rural, intermediate and urban pekarangans.…”

Indonesia has recently been faced with a number of great problems: poverty, natural disasters such as tsunami, earthquakes, flooding and typhoons, volcanic eruptions, loss of biodiversity, decreasing water quality and quantity, increased pollution, and aesthetic degradation of the landscape. These disturbances have been caused by rapid changes in land use and land cover, deforestation, the application of monoculture farming systems in commercial agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and other types of infrastructure development. The government, urban communities and companies have promoted some programs to ameliorate the problem of environmental degradation. The government has ratified law no. 26/2007 as a commitment to sustainability; this law ensures that cities are obliged to provide green open spaces covering a minimum of 30% of urbanized areas. Many metropolitan cities have feverishly enacted policies to promote greening programs, such as those applied in Jakarta. However, a new town-Sentul City-has engaged in policies that aim to create a well-designed eco-city with urban greenery and ecological networks. This new policy is supposed to herald a better future for urban quality. It is expected that green spaces will provide environmental services: water resource management, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and landscape beauty.

“…Herbaceous plants, such as vegetables, starchy crops, and spice plants, are seasonal plants that are highly affected by climatic parameters, such as rainfall and temperature, and they are easily accessed through the market for subsistence consumption. On the other hand, when considering economic aspects, ornamental species are more attractive for households than vegetables due to the market economy in urbanized areas in particular [14,19,34,[45][46][47][48].…”

“…However, households are not able to generate income by fruit selling throughout the year, since fruit production is seasonal, and dependent on the climate and healthy tree conditions. In this case, ornamental plants are able to alternatively provide sustainable income for households as well as aesthetic function in response to urbanization [45]. Ornamental plants are used to plant in the space between houses as a fence to emphasize aesthetic function with medicinal plants and clove trees [39].…”

Home garden is a traditional agroforestry system, which is an ecologically and socio-economically sustainable land use system in West Java, Indonesia. It plays a fundamental role in providing subsistence food and income to local people through a multi-strata structure. Despite the importance of the home garden, which is strongly linked with quality of living, there is still a lack of quantitative data and information. Therefore, we quantified the economic and ecological characteristics of home gardens in the present study to evaluate their diverse roles. In addition, general strategies that are applicable to home gardens in West Java were developed for sustainable management. The results of this study indicated that: (1) large landholding size showed a significantly higher Net Present Value (NPV) than small landholding size when the home gardens were dominated by fruit tree species, (2) species richness, species diversity, and carbon stock did not differ significantly among the different types and sizes of home gardens in West Java, and (3) multi-layered and diverse species composition is considerable for sustainable management of home gardens in terms of income generation and against urbanization and commercialization in West Java, Indonesia. Further studies should be considered for developing a standardized and generalized model that is able to evaluate and quantify the various ecosystem values that are generally acceptable and applicable in rural areas.

“…Pekarangan yang ekologis terdiri dari keragaman strata vegetasi. Menurut Arifin (1998), keragaman strata dibagi kedalam lima strata ketinggian. Strata I merupakan tanaman dengan ketinggian yang kurang dari 1 m seperti rumput dan herba, strata II merupakan tanaman dengan ketinggian antara 1-2 m seperti semak, strata III adalah tanaman yang memiliki ketinggian antara 2-5 m seperti perdu dan pohon kecil, tanaman dengan strata IV memiliki ketinggian 5-10 m seperti pohon sedang, dan pohon tinggi dengan ketinggian di atas 10 m dikelompokan dalam strata V.…”

Green infrastructure has been indicated as promising measure for adaptation to climate change impact, especially in densely populated cities where green spaces in a big scale were rare. Yogyakarta City expected would be a good representative case study, due the urban density and limited green spaces. In order to gain a better understanding and awareness of climate change impact and green infrastructure benefit, it is important to find out how people think about issues related to it. Perceptual studies can generate more understanding of the research areas, and knowing the preferences for implementing green infrastructure can help urban planners identify more effective policy responses. The objective of this study is to analyze public perceptions and preferences on climate change and green infrastructure in Yogyakarta City. The study area located in Yogyakarta City is divided into three groups based on the difference proportion of surface temperature. Data collecting conducted by online questionnaires, and samples selection used accidental sampling method. Descriptive statistics used to analyze descriptive data, chi square and Kruskal-Wallis analysis were used to determine the differences between three study areas, then logistic regression method used to find out the influence of socio-demographic factors. The results showed that there were not many significant differences between the 3 groups of study areas on community perceptions and preferences, while socio-demographic factors such as age, occupation, and gender affect some results of community perceptions and preferences. This study explains how community’s awareness of climate change impacts and understanding of the benefits of green infrastructure and local preferences, so that the benefits of green infrastructure can be accepted by the community effectively.
