Efektivitas Fungsi Lapangan Talangsari, Kecamatan Kaliwates, Kabupaten Jember sebagai Ruang Terbuka Hijau

Abstract

According to the RPJMD of Jember Regency in 2021-2026, the lack of optimal spatial control in Jember Regency has caused land conversion which has an impact on the decline in air quality because green open space does not meet the minimum proportion. Talangsari Field is one of the Green Open Space Parks and Urban Forests located in Kaliwates Sub-district, Jember Regency, and is almost threatened by land conversion, but the surrounding community refuses because the field has historical value and at the same time becomes a community space for exercise. However, the existing condition of Talangsari Field does not have an optimal function and utilization as a green open space, it is characterized by the absence of facilities and utilities that can support the creation of ecological, water catchment, economic, aesthetic, socio-cultural, and disaster management functions. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the process of Talangsari Field and determine the strategies needed to improve the function of the field. The method used is qualitative research with descriptive analysis of existing conditions and triangulation analysis as a tool to formulate strategies, while the quantitative approach uses AHP (Analytical Hierarchy process) analysis. The results showed that Talangsari Field does not function effectively as a green open space with an effective value of 48.74%. Based on the AHP analysis, the indicators that are prioritized to increase their effectiveness are recreational and sports activities space, as a shade, rainwater absorber, pollutant absorber and absorber, windbreaker, enhancing the beauty of the environment and cityscape, as groundwater recharge and infiltration, adding economic value to the city environment, and as disaster management. Some of the development strategies that were formulated were adding sports facilities, fulfilling 80% green cover, providing blue open space, providing commercial areas, adding landscape furniture with local wisdom, and providing gathering points as disaster evacuation spaces.
