Sustainability Strategy for Urban Development Through the Optimization of Green Open Spaces and Spatial Interaction Patterns in the Urban Activity System
Keywords:
Green Open Space, Sustainable Development, SWOT AnalysisAbstract
Sustainable urban development requires optimal planning and management of Green Open Spaces (GOS) to deliver ecological, social, and economic benefits to the community. This study aims to analyze strategies for optimizing GOS to support sustainable urban development in Binjai City using a qualitative approach and SWOT analysis method. Primary data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) with relevant stakeholders. The findings reveal that the availability of GOS in Binjai City is unevenly distributed, with concentrations in certain sub-districts. The quality and maintenance of GOS face challenges due to budget limitations and low community participation in management efforts. Community interaction with GOS primarily revolves around sports and recreational activities, yet remains limited to areas with adequate facilities. While GOS management policies are in place, their implementation is hindered by weak supervision and financial constraints. Based on the SWOT analysis, proposed strategies include improving accessibility and equitable distribution of GOS, increasing maintenance budgets, strengthening regulations, and enhancing community and private sector engagement in GOS management. These strategies are expected to enable GOS in Binjai City to contribute more significantly to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable urban activity system.
