Open spaces are essential for promoting quality of life in cities. However, accelerated urban growth, in particular in cities of the global South, is reducing the often already limited amount of open spaces with access to citizens. The importance of open spaces is promoted by SDG indicator 11.7.1; however, data on this indicator are not readily available, neither globally nor at the metropolitan scale in support of local planning, health and environmental policies. Existing global datasets on built-up areas omit many open spaces due to the coarse spatial resolution of input imagery. Our study presents a novel cloud computation-based method to map open spaces by accessing the multi-temporal high-resolution imagery repository of Planet. We illustrate the benefits of our proposed method for mapping the dynamics and spatial patterns of open spaces for the city of Kampala, Uganda, achieving a classification accuracy of up to 88% for classes used by the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL). Results show that open spaces in the Kampala metropolitan area are continuously decreasing, resulting in a loss of open space per capita of approximately 125 m2 within eight years.

The Future

Urban open spaces (e.g. urban parks) play a pivotal role in improving the quality of life of city dwellers through accommodating various physical and social activities, while further creating social coherence for sustainable development. Due to the shortage of open green spaces in the city, caused by rapid urbanization in developing countries, some big, long-standing urban public spaces such as district parks have been retained, and improved to serve as the main public space for local people. However, such spaces commonly provide outdated, low quality facilities that discourage people from using the park. To satisfy users’ needs, local governments have launched campaigns to improve parks based on the ideas of domestic or foreign designers. The purpose of this research is to explore different behaviors of residents in an open space in Da Nang (Vietnam) which can support the future development and improvement of local open space in accordance with environmental behavior theory. User behaviors were identified and categorized based on their activities in the open space, collected using the place-centered behavior mapping method. Results of the statistical analysis revealed that this open space could be divided into three types, each of which had four dimensions: public facilities setting; openness; accessibility; and recreational facilities. The findings showed some aspects that need to be considered during the development process of open space as follows: 1) increasing the quantity and quality of public amenities; 2) separating accessible space and/or buffer space from already used space inside the park, particularly in the entrance zone; 3) providing space adjacent to the lake; and 4) removing obstacles (e.g. walls around the park) to give a clearer view from inside the park to the streets outside and vice versa. Also, the calculation model of evidence-based designs provides input data for re-planning or creating public space/parks to help designers, planners and authorities improve or design better open spaces in the future.

abstrakUndang-undang Republik Indonesia No 26 Tahun 2007 tentang Penataan Ruang, menetapkan harustersedia Ruang Terbuka Hijau sebesar 30% dari luas Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS). Dan dalam Permen ATRNomor 16 tahun 2018 ditetapkan harus tersedia RTH privat sebesar 10%. Hal itu bertujuan untukmeningkatkan kualitas lingkungan hidup di wilayah perkotaan, diantaranya penyediaan resapan, penyegaranudara, dan tentunya aspek estetika. Namun tidak banyak masyarakat Indonesia yang mengetahui adanyaperaturan tersebut. Bahkan banyak pengembang yang tidak memperhatikan aspek tersebut. Sehingga parapembeli rumah tidak tahu adanya persyaratan dalam mendirikan atau mengembangkan bangunan yang harusmenyediakan RTH.Di Perumahan Karanglo Indah (dalam kasus ini sebagai percontohan adalah wilayah RT 8) masihdirasakan kurangnya Ruang Terbuka Hijau di sebagian besar rumah, seperti lingkungan hijau. Hal ini karenahalaman rumah sudah penuh tertutup bangunan. Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untukmemberikan pemahaman kepada masyarakat tentang arti pentingnya RTH. Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat inidilaksanakan saat pandemi Covid-19, yang harus mengikuti protokol kesehatan dan physical distancing, makapemberian pemahaman hanya diberikan kepada Ketua RT, ketua PKK dan dasa wisma. Hasil dari pelaksanaankegiatan berupa percontohan lingkungan hijau berupa penanaman tanaman sayur, baik secara hidroponikvertikal maupun apung dan tanaman dalam polybag. Upaya ini selain untuk menambah lingkungan hijau jugamendukung kegiatan Kemandirian Pangan di era pandemi Covid-19 AbstractLaw No.26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning determines that 30% of Watershed must be available for open spaces. TheRegulation of The Minister of Agragrian and Spatial Planning Number 16 of 2018 determines that 10% of openspaces must be available for private open spaces. It aims to improve the quality of environment in urban areasincluding the availability of infiltration, air freshening, and aesthetic aspects. However, not many Indonesians knowthis regulation. Even many developers do not pay attention to this aspect and house buyers do not know the openspace requirements for building or developing buildings. Most houses at Karanglo Indah Housing ( as a pilotproject, RT 8, RW 4) are still lack of open spaces as the green environment. This is because the yard is full ofbuildings. This Community Service aims to provide information to that community so that they understand theimportance of open space. Since the Community Service was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic which mustcomply with health protocols and physical distancing, the information is only given to the head of NeighborhoodAssociation, head of Family Welfare Group and head of a Group of ten families. The result of this activity is a pilotgreen environment as planting vegetable plants, both vertical and floating hydroponics and plants in polybags.Besides enlarging the green environment, this activity also supports food independence activities in the era ofCovid-19 pandemic.

Purpose – The poor outdoor quality of highly populated third-world cities is a consequence of the misuse of public open spaces as refuse dumps and for informal trading activities. This describes the situation of Lagos metropolis before the present political will that has infused great landscaping transition into the cityscape. However, the challenges of maintenance are germane to the sustainability of these landscape products. The purpose of this paper is to assess the quality and characteristics of the landscapes that have undergone transition and to formulate a framework for maintenance strategies. Design/methodology/approach – The study objectively evaluates the physical qualities of 22 randomly selected sites that have undergone transition through on-site assessment and photographic recording. The management regimes were subjectively studied to appraise the level of their effectiveness and to guide future strategies. This was carried out by collecting the opinions of 130 selected government officials in charge of maintaining the spaces with the aid an interview guide. Findings – Analyses of the data revealed rich values of the landscapes and management strategies in favour of a public-private partnership. It recommends public open space transformation for recreational activities in cities as a vital means of enhancing urban living and city outlooks. Practical implications – The study concludes with formulation of sustainable management framework for the landscapes and argues in its favour. It thus has policy implications on the maintenance of urban open spaces that have undergone transition in Lagos and Nigeria at large. Originality/value – The study was carried out in May 2011. Its significance lies in its capacity of enhancing the quality of urban open spaces through appropriate policy formulation of management regimes.

In flat environments, housewives are most found staying throughout the day. They use existing open spaces in housing project to interact with other residents. To find out, discover and analyze the correlation between the pattern of open space utilization and the pattern of activity of housewives at flats, this research was conducted using descriptive analysis method bases on case studies on some flats in urban areas, namely Kebon Kacang Flat (KK), Kemayoran Flat (K), Taman Surya Flat (TS) and Pasar Jumat Flat (PJ). Subjects were housewives (residents of the flats); sampling is taken by stratified random sampling. The survey was conducted by interview to obtain data on activity patterns of the mother. Subsequently, observation was conducted to get an overview of the activity patterns of mothers and use of open space including non-physical and physical data of these open spaces. The implementation was done in three stages: preparation (literature study and data collection by remote sensing), interpretation, field test and re-interpretation (width, location, quality of open spaces and activities, professions of women at these locations), and result presentation.

Abstract West Binjai is a sub-district located in Binjai City, North Sumatra. Green Open Space is also part of the Binjai city’s planning scheme which has many benefits for the community and the environment. This research used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis and NDVI value classification results in the distribution of vegetation density. Analysis of changes in vegetation density was carried out between 2015 and 2020 in West Binjai. The largest change in the area of vegetation density classes in the West Binjai between 2015 and 2020 was the increase in the area of the high dense class to 19.13%. The sub-district has green open spaces in the form of sub-district parks, public cemeteries, road green lane, river bank and private green open spaces. These green open spaces were in the low dense, medium, dense and high dense classes. There is a need for rearrangement of green open spaces, especially those within low dense class. Replanting trees are also essential to increase the quality of the green area. Improving the quality of green space will lead to the enhancement of quality of environment.

Urban physical context can be analyzed across three key matrixes (3-P) among others i.e. place, path, and people. So, pragmatic analysis of spatial effective performances connecting 3-P, require provoking frequency of people’s experience. Acknowledging this issue, the demand for accessible neighbourhood green (ANG) at an appropriate distance becomes the primary concern to enhance the quality of life and liveability in a city. However, with the continued urban growth and densification, the discrepancy between the demand and supply of open space continues to vary requiring adjustments to remain responsive. The real-life circumstance results in a shortage of parks and open areas in terms of demand and supply within accessible distance in Dhaka city. This paper intends to examine this issue through the case of the planned Dhanmondi Residential Area (DRA) in Dhaka. Despite having provision of multiple open spaces in DRA, visitor’s frequency varies due to age and gender group accessibility conditions and varying distances. Considering existing spatial norms set by Detail Area Plan (DAP), Dhaka structure plan (DSP), and numerous research works on Dhaka open spaces, the major inquiry posed here is whether these open spaces are appropriate for DRA or not. Therefore, the objective of this paper focuses on examining the quality of the physical environment of Neighbourhood public open spaces termed here as accessible neighbourhood green (ANG) in DRA to examine their adequacy concerning proportion and distance synchronized with the frequency of visits. The initial part of the paper focuses on conceptualizing the problem vis-à-vis the existing scenario.  Surveys and interviews have been conducted to assess people’s perceptions in terms of comfort, accessibility, sociability, and user frequency aligned with proximity. The result indicates that the provision of one appropriate ANG within two or three standard blocks apart contribute to enhancing the quality of life for the city dwellers and their liveability.

Public Open Spaces

Currently, the existence of Kampung Deret Petogogan is due to the Jakarta government's work program, especially in the field of alleviating slum areas. In the past, this region was a slum area and it was the government's vision to transform it. Since 2013, it has been in a neat condition, not only for its occupancy, and also for its infrastructure in the open areas, which consist of parks and neighborhood roads. This research aims to determine the quality of public open spaces, such as parks and neighborhood roads for the residents. This study adopted descriptive qualitative methods, expected to benefit the government for the development of open spaces, and the community maintenance and utilization. The results showed that the democratic and beneficial aspects of the society, and the elements of quality public open spaces were achieved. Also, the productivity of open space utilization was very large. The element of responsiveness to physical and non-physical existence, and the need for infrastructure in an open space needs to be improved by maximizing its quality.
