Strategy for improving Green Open Space (RTH) based on community participation in reduce the risk of flood disaster in Jakarta

Abstract

Natural Floods are the main form of environmental disaster worldwide in terms of frequency, and scale is associated with a tenfold increase in costs over the last half-century. Generally, chronic flood disasters occur in several cities in Southeast Asia, including Jakarta. Misuse of spatial planning is said to be the main factor causing flooding. A community-based approach in urban planning with Green Open Space (RTH) can be a solution to reducing the risk of flood disasters. Through giving directions to the community to comply with regulations in building settlements, administering Building Permits, and consulting first with the PTSP of the nearest sub-district or sub-district before buying land, it is something that the community can do so that the percentage of land use mismatches and land use conversion does not increase.

Valuation of Urban Green Open Spaces Using the Life Satisfaction Approach

“…Furthermore, the development of sustainable cities extends beyond ecological considerations and the social aspects of urban life, including the satisfaction, experiences, and perceptions of residents with respect to the environmental quality in residential areas. Increasing citizen awareness about the significance of these areas in urban environments is important and can improve the quality of life in cities and the general urban environment [28].…”

“…This has resulted in rapid urbanization, posing significant challenges related to environmental degradation; this is of particular concern in scenarios of elevated temperatures [29]. As a megapolitan city, Jakarta has experienced substantial development across multiple sectors, including industry, commerce, transportation, and housing, leading to various environmental challenges [28]. One particular urban challenge in the city is the reduction of the GOS area.…”
