“…Most land use changes in Indonesia at the local and regional scales are conversions from agricultural land into residential land and from forest to agriculture [11][12][13][14]. Land use change can have a large impact on ecosystems, altering their composition and structure as well as their function, including matter and energy cycles [15].…”

Understanding the changes in gross primary production (GPP), which is the total carbon fixation by terrestrial ecosystems through vegetation photosynthesis, due to land use conversion in a tourism city is important for carbon cycle studies. Satellite data from Landsat 5, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 and meteorological data are used to calculate annual GPP for 1995, 2003 and 2014, respectively, using the vegetation production model (VPM) in the tourism city Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Five land use types generated from topographic maps in three different years over the past two decades are used to quantify the impacts of land use changes on GPP estimation values. Analysis was performed for two periods to determine changes in land use and GPP value as well as their speed. The results demonstrated that urban land development, namely, the increase of settlement areas due to tourism activity, had overall negative effects on terrestrial GPP. The total GPP of the whole area decreased by 7793.96 tC year −1 (12.65%) during the study period. The decline is due to the conversion of agriculture and grassland area into settlements, which caused the city to lose half of its ability to uptake carbon through vegetation. However, although forest area is declining, forest maintenance and restoration by making them protection areas has been helpful in preventing a drastic decline in GPP value over the past two decades. This study provides information that is useful for carbon resource management, tourism, policy making and scholars concerned about carbon reduction in a tourism city.

“…Economic and population growth have been marked with steady in Malang, and the government has been unable to control the urbanization process and related population growth and urbanization (Ramdani et al 2015). Urbanization in Malang with increasing of the housing area and decreasing agricultural and forested land is happening in the uncontrolled situation, and urban area cover increased from 21% in 2001 to 40% in 2014 (Ramdani et al 2015). The rapid urbanization in Malang has resulted in a steady decrease in green space in the city.…”

“…In developing countries green spaces are often destroyed and degraded for other land uses (Byomkesh et al 2012;Ramdani et al 2015;Agaton et al 2016;Herwirawan et al 2017). Due to rapid urbanization, Indonesian cities are suffering from a lack of green space.…”

Green spaces in developing countries are often destroyed and degraded for other land uses. As increases in urbanization and population continue in Indonesia, it will be increasingly important to discuss green spaces around children. In this study, the actual use of urban green spaces by children was investigated through questionnaires for children and their parents, and the strategy for increasing opportunity to use urban green spaces was discussed in Malang, a region of progressing urbanization in Indonesia. A total of 147 questionnaires were received from the children and 145 from their parents. While there were few green spaces around schools in Malang, especially in the center of the city, fortunately, children liked to play in the outside more than other studies. However, children preferred to spend their time in well-maintained or level areas, such as parks and open fields. It might be important to provide parks with enough vegetation and attractive program within their living area in order to make them use green spaces. The cooperation with companies as corporate social responsibility program for developing environmental education programs might be effective.

“…Kweon et al (2017) and Wu et al (2014) also showed that children who study in school environments with more trees perform better academically. However, rapid urbanization and population growth have led to changes in land use and cover, resulting in an overall reduction in green space area (Dewan and Yamaguchi, 2009;Kusimi, 2008;Ramdani et al, 2015).…”

“…As urbanization and populations increase in developing countries (Dewan and Yamaguchi, 2009;Kusimi, 2008;Ramdani et al, 2015), it is important to understand the status of green space around children in these countries to improve green space access. In 2015, 53.7% of the population in Indonesia lived in urban areas (World Bank, 2016).…”

Green space is important for childhood development, particularly in developing countries. The city of Malang, Indonesia has experienced steady economic and population growth in recent years, but green space area in the urban environment has been declining. In this study, we elucidated the status of green space accessible to children in Malang, and discussed ways of improving green space use. We identified green spaces around 291 elementary schools using satellite remote sensing. A RapidEye satellite image, which covered the study area with a 5-m ground sample distance, was acquired on May 20, 2015. From this image, the area of green spaces within 1 km radius circles of elementary schools were calculated. The total area of green space in the city was 45.439 km 2 , 41.3% of the total city area. Smaller green spaces were located near the city center, whereas larger green spaces were located in the southeastern part of the city. The green space ratio within 1 km of 96 schools was less than 15%, and it was 15-30% around 104 schools. Overall, there were few green spaces within walking distance of schools in Malang. The green space ratio in the city center was also low. Green spaces in the city should be maintained, and additional opportunities should be provided for children to access green spaces.
