Controlling efforts of green open space provision in East Malang residential areas development, Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the control model of providing Green Open Space (GOS) in the development of residential areas, as an anticipative effort to develop rapidly developing housing areas. The rapid acceleration of small cluster housing construction is worsening the achievement of the quantity of GOS. This research uses a descriptive exploration approach, with spatial data analysis of the development of housing areas (large-small clusters) in the provision of green open space. The provision of small cluster housing has the potential to reduce the availability of green space by more than 68% compared to a large-medium scale. This fact has consequences from the importance of efforts to plan, control, supervise, and monitor the provision of GOS in the area of housing development. The conversion of agricultural land into residential areas in the spatial plan has to anticipate by substitute the GOS provided by the developer.
