“…Jayakody et al (2018a) emphasized that if the assembly points and temporary shelter areas are to be considered as a second city, they should be interconnected, different types, multi-purpose and available. According to Jayakody et al (2018b), disasters could sometimes occur seasonally (flood) and some unpredictable (earthquake). Planning of open green spaces for assembly points and temporary shelter areas away from the daily routine of the city could lead to the emergence of isolated places and extra costs for municipalities.…”

Open green spaces contribute to urban/rural life in terms of ecological, recreational, spatial, economic, etc., functions as well as prevention of natural disasters, mitigation of its impacts, and providing spatial support to people before, during and after a disaster, especially an earthquake. Therefore, during and after the earthquake, there is need of planning of sufficient and safely (suitable site selection) open green spaces, which will provide emergency assembling and temporary and/or long-term shelter of the public, which can be accessed at certain distances, as emergency assembly points and temporary shelter areas (multiple uses). In this study, the suitable size, accessibility standards and site selection criteria, which are discussed separately in the literature, were determined in a way to coincide with the natural and cultural landscape characteristics of Düzce city center. According to these standards and criteria, some determinations have been made in the study area. Firstly, the situation of emergency assembly points and temporary shelter areas in Düzce city, which has two earthquake experiences (in 1999), has been determined with field survey and the data of 1/1000 scaled Implementary Development Plan, which is planned in 2010 and is revised in 2017, and transferred to Geographical Information Systems. Secondly, in the suitability analysis, the criteria that increase/decrease the risk in the neighborhoods were integrated with the data at the first stage and very suitable, suitable and unsuitable areas were determined. Lastly, the size (m 2 per capita) and accessibility (service radius) of the emergency assembly points and temporary shelter areas determined by the Governorship of Düzce Provincial Disaster and Emergency Directorate have been evaluated according to the relevant standards. It has been determined that there are deficiencies in the site selection and size of the emergency assembly points and temporary shelter areas in the city and in this context the mapping of the neighborhoods where the size of the area is insufficient and areas where cannot access emergency assembly points and temporary shelter areas in the whole city has been realized. As a result, some suggestions have been presented in Düzce city center regarding the planning of open green spaces and integration of standards and strategies for natural disasters (earthquake).

“…Following the 2015 earthquake, substantial evidence proves the claim that KMC has experienced the rise or increase in number of new POSs.The development and expansion of new POS were initiated or enhanced by KMC to address the evacuation of encroached land, expand river corridors, and conserve POS within KMC. After the 2015 earthquake, there is evidence supporting this argument that KMC has witnessed the emergence of new POSs for disaster risk reduction and other social implications in many ways (see Mishra, 2004;Jayakody & Amarayhunga, 2016;Saxena, 2016;Jayakody et al, 2018 (Sapkota, 2080). The emergence of these public open spaces can be viewed as a response to the post-disaster realization of the importance of POS for DRRM and public use.…”

Despite the extensive literature on public open space (POS) in urban settings, its role in disaster risk reduction and management(DRRM) as perceived and experienced by its residents is limited. Taking a case from Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), this paper analyzes the role and suitability of POS in DRRM. It focuses on: (a) how urban residents perceive and experience the linkages between POS and DRRM, (b) how they utilized the POS during disasters, and in what ways they were instrumental in helping disaster victims,and (c) to what extent the existing POSs are compatible for DRRM in dense urban areas. This study uses qualitative research methodology employing POS inventory taking, key informant interviews, in-depth interviews, and field observation as research instruments. The result of the study shows that people's perception on the use of POS during disasters was very positive and these spaces were intrinsically utilized during disasters in the metropolitan Kathmandu. However, their effectiveness and compatibility in DRRM were contingent upon contextual factors, the inherent nature and types of POS, and the extent of accessibility to them.

“…However, there is still little experience in the urban planning context with integrating disaster management tactics with planning and developing public open spaces. In order to plan and build public open spaces in cities, this ongoing research study underlines the necessity of integrating disaster management tactics with sustainable development strategies (Jayakody et al, 2018).…”

Planning and creating public open spaces has been influenced by the current focus on building sustainable cities that support its three pillars—economic, social, and environmental. However, the negative effects of expanding urbanization and the consequences of climate change have increased the possibility of disaster in cities and increased pressure on the path toward sustainable development. Public open spaces are often used as a strategy to enhance cities’ sustainability while using it as a mode to improve the quality of life, aesthetic beauty, environmental health, economic growth and to increase the walkability, live ability and vitality of cities. In order to mitigate the effects of disasters, it is also important to pay attention to how public green open space is managed in terms of governance, finances, rules, oversight, and human resources. Socialization of this activity is necessary so that the general public is aware of the purposes and advantages of having public green open space. In addition to serving as an environmental buffer, Probolinggo City's public green open space has the potential to be developed as a disaster mitigation model using a sustainable development approach, bringing benefits for the environment, education, infrastructure, economy, and socio-cultural aspects in line with the SDGs.
