Green open space of riverbanks in Bogor City as a potential location for development of urban agriculture

Abstract

Bogor City is one city that has a history as a green city. To meet food security, green cities are not only directed at planting trees or ornamental plants. However, currently the green city is more directed at the development of productive plants so that the people of Bogor City can use it in meeting food needs. One alternative to conversion of urban agricultural land is in the river area. One of the structures of the Green Open Space (GOS) in Bogor City is referred to as the GOS river bank. Riverbank GOS is one of the potential locations for the development of urban agriculture, so this study aims to identify potential locations on river banks for the development of urban agriculture. The method used in this study is GIS analysis. The analysis process is done by overlaying the hydrological map (river), GOS land use map, and land slope map, which then produces the riverbank GOS thematic map. This data analysis technique is followed by an initial inspection process to check the correct location of potential points. The results of this study indicate potential location points of riverbank GOS that can be used for the development of urban agriculture in Bogor City.
