Purpose – The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides guidelines for the management of open space created through property acquisition (buyouts); however, land use decisions are primarily left to local governments manifesting in a variety of uses. The purpose of this paper is to provide a land use assessment of buyout sites, to describe the changes in those uses that have occurred during a ten-year period from 1990 to 2000, and to offer an assessment of management approaches employed across these sites. Design/methodology/approach – Using a mixed-methods approach consisting of a land use classification survey and a semi-structured questionnaire of floodplain managers, this study explores the land use trends at buyout sites, diverse approaches local governments take in managing the open spaces created through floodplain buyout programs, and the successes and challenges communities face in open space management. Findings – Results indicate strong support from floodplain managers for property acquisition and several cases emerged where communities put their newly acquired public land to creative uses. However, the opportunity to leverage these properties for greater public values is largely being missed, primarily because of limited funding. Practical implications – The analysis indicates strong support among floodplain managers for the buyout approach; however, additional resource-sharing and funding opportunities are needed to increase the utility of buyout properties. Originality/value – By evaluating the long-term management strategies floodplain managers utilize on buyout sites, this study adds to an underrepresented area of scholarship and is of value to practitioners, government officials, and academics.

To achieve the target of 30% of the total area's green space area, causing Jakarta and other big cities to make efforts to accelerate the provision of green space. Efforts to provide and manage it did not go as expected. The problem lies in the planning, implementation, utilization, and control relating to institutions, financing, and community participation. That causes the management of Green Open Space (GOS) is not running effectively and efficiently. The main problem is the unavailability of clear guidelines on implementing green space management and ineffective phasing related to the determination of terms of reference with budget constraints. Based on previous research, the concept of sustainable landscape design in harmony with sustainable development is the right way to solve this problem. This study aims to discuss how the concept of sustainable landscape design can be bundled by governance involved in managing green space using action research based on soft systems methodology. It will provide a conceptual model of packaging efforts so that it becomes a reference in various actions to provide and manage green space to achieve effective and efficient GOS management.

The growth of the population requires space to accommodate human activities. The development aims to provide a space for humans, but it has an impact on the decreasing green open space. The majority of previous research examines the policy, policy implementation, community support/ involvement, and the need for green open space. While this study examines the management and the factors of the management of public green open space, the research uses a descriptive qualitative method by utilizing primary data through interviews and observations and is supported by secondary data, such as reports, rules, and research results. This study found that the management of green open space, and regulations were available at the regional level; however, for the fulfilment of public green open space only reached 10.76% while still lacking 9.24% because the management faces the substance and technical problems. To fix these deficiencies requires a master plan and a strong leadership commitment to realize these deficiencies.

Green Open Space (RTH) is one of the balancing factors of an area in order to keep alignment to the dynamics of life around it. Social activity is part of the dynamics of society inbuilding and managing a region. Social activities can not be separated from the existing institutionsin the region, the institutional symbolized by the existence of groups (entities) that are capable ofproviding capacity for action on changes and policy making. Penanggungan village is a villagewhose territory is located on the slopes of the mountains, this village belongs to the category ofvillages prone to landslides. Social community of Penanggungan Village become the focus of studyrelated to Green Open Space management factor (RTH). The result of correlation analysis showsthat there is a relationship between social condition and Green Open Space (RTH) that is obtainedby significant value 0.000 which means less than 0.005 so that H0 result is rejected H1 accepted, itmeans there is relationship between variable X to Y. Based on result surveys in the field, most ofPenanggungan Village which has 4 hamlets namely Ngembes, Penanggungan, Sendang, andKemendung are entering the green area. This is in accordance with topographic conditions in thevillage Penanggungan into the topography that has an average height of 600-700 mdpl.
