Abstract:

The obligation to provide public Green Open Space is the responsibility of regional governments as stipulated

in Law Number 26/2007 concerning Spatial Planning as a form of service or the provision of public facilities

for the community. The problems faced are the lack of urban protected areas, the existence of Green Open

Space which is far from ideal proportions in Pekanbaru City so that when the rain occurs, it is ﬂooded due to

low water absorption. The purpose of this paper is expected to be input for the Pekanbaru City Government to

carry out the mandate of the existing Act and be able to overcome existing problems. The results of the research

show that 30% of Green Open Space has not been met by the city, 20% public and 10% private. In the policy

implementation of the Green Open Space in Pekanbaru City, it has not been implemented optimally from the

targets set in the Act. For this reason the Pekanbaru city government needs to take steps to meet the needs of

providing Green Open Space in Pekanbaru City as follows: 1. Increasing more intensive socialization to the

public, and the private sector about the important role of green open space in Pekanbaru City; 2. Making local

regulations relating to partnerships in the provision of green open space; and 3. Require housing companies

or developers to provide Green Open Space.

1 INTRODUCTION

The obligation to provide public Green Open Space

is the responsibility of regional government as a form

of service or provision of public facilities for the

community. The policy of providing public green

open space is a part of public policy, which means

that policies that regulate public / public interests are

not interests of certain groups or groups. In order

to respond to these matters in Law Number 26/2007,

content related to environmental issues is increasingly

emphasized. One of them is in connection with City

Spatial Planning which is required to include plans for

the provision and utilization of Green Open Space.

Law Number 26/2007 on Spatial Planning said

that 30% of Green Open Space must be contained

in urban spatial planning, 10% private area and 20%

public area. The 30% amount is a standard measure

to ensure a sustainable balance of urban planning is

maintained and a supply of fresh air can be enjoyed

by residents of the city. Efforts to implement 30% of

the green open space in the urban area are able to be

achieved in stages with the allocation of urban land in

accordance with Minister of Public Works Regulation

Number 5/2008 deals with procedures for providing

and utilizing green open space in urban areas. As for

the phenomenon that occurs at this time:

• Lack of urban protected areas, but the population

growth of Pekanbaru City is increasing and the

growth of private vehicle use is increasing and

pollution is increasing.

• Lack of control of water management, so that the

low supply of open green space in the city of

Pekanbaru during the rain causes ﬂooding due to

low water absorption.

• The realization of green open space that is not

in accordance with the expectations of the law.

Market dominance of government regulations that

are able to accommodate the desires and needs of

capital owners.

• There is no need for 30% of green open space

from the city, from 20% of public green space

and 10% private. The area of pekanbaru is 632.26

KM2, equivalent to 63,226 ha. If it is taken

30%, the green space that must be fulﬁlled is

189.68 KM2 or equal to 18,967 ha. If divided by

20% public and 10% private, then the area that

must be provided by the government is 126.45

KM2, equivalent to 12,645 ha and 63,226 KM2,

equivalent to 6,322.6 ha. Whereas the facts show

that in Pekanbaru, the existing public green space

only amounted to 80,582 ha until 2017, equivalent

to 0.637% of the 20% Green Open Space that

must be met.

The objectives of this study include:

• Describe how Pekanbaru City Government

implements Green Open Space Policy in

Pekanbaru City.

• Knowing and describing obstacles or obstacles

faced by the Pekanbaru City government in

implementing the Policy for Provision of Green

Open Space in Pekanbaru City.

• Determine the model of application for the City

of Pekanbaru in meeting the needs of Green

Open Space in the City of Pekanbaru, so that the

mandate of the Laws and Regional Regulations

regarding the fulﬁllment of the speciﬁed amount

can be fulﬁlled to the maximum.

2 RESEARCH METHODS

The method used in this research is descriptive

qualitative, the type of research that describes a

phenomenon or event as it is. The method used in

this study is by conducting in-depth interviews with

the Department of Public Works Department of Parks

and agencies related to this problem. Data collected

both primary and secondary. Qualitative research

according to (Strauss and Corbin, 2003; Gandara,

2013) is a type of research that produces ﬁndings

that cannot be obtained by using statistical procedures

or by other means of quantiﬁcation (measurement).

(Ikbar, 2012) said that the qualitative approach

is a research approach based on phenomenology

and constructivism paradigm in developing science.

Meanwhile, according to (Sarwono, 2013; Agustino,

2008), conveying in a qualitative approach the

emphasis on meaning, reasoning and deﬁning certain

problems and more examining problems related to

daily life, emphasis on the process rather than the

ﬁnal result. Some things that become fundamental

considerations in using qualitative methods in this

study, are as stated by (Chaedar, 2002; Creswell and

Poth, 2017), conveying that qualitative research in

analyzing a phenomenon can be presented as a whole

and more sensitive in capturing information but still

maintaining wholeness and object. In other words

the data collected in the case study is an integrated

whole. (Miles and Huberman, 1992; Purwanto, 2012;

Tarsito, 2014), suggest that the activities in qualitative

data analysis are carried out interactively and take

place continuously until complete, so that the data is

saturated. The size of data saturation is indicated by

no new data or information obtained. Activities in the

analysis include Data Reduction, Data Presentation

and Conclusion Withdrawal and Veriﬁcation.

3 DISCUSSION

3.1 Policy Implementation of Green

Open Space in Pekanbaru City

To ﬁnd out in depth about the Implementation

of Green Open Space Policy in Pekanbaru City,

researchers used four indicators to measure the

implementation of green open space policies,

especially in Pekanbaru City, among these indicators.

• Communication

• Resources

• Disposition

• Bureaucratic Structure

Regarding communication carried out in the

policy implementation of the green open space in

Pekanbaru and coupled with the observation of the

research team to the community regarding green

space, especially with the community’s responsibility

to provide 10% green open space in their homes, the

authors concluded that communication between units

was generally the implementers have been carried out

accordingly according to the indicators discussed by

the researchers, but for the socialization carried out

by the government to the community it has not been

implemented as it should be in accordance with the

expectations of the existing policies.

In connection with available resources in the

implementation of the policy, in general it has

been implemented in accordance with the existing

provisions, but for the availability of funding sources

in the provision of green space is also limited

ICoSEEH 2019 - The Second International Conference on Social, Economy, Education, and Humanity

because there is a need that must also be provided or

completed by the Pekanbaru PUPR Ofﬁce.

For the Disposition in the implementation of green

open space policy in Pekanbaru city it can indeed be

said as it should and this is proven by the existence

of several Green Open Space in Pekanbaru City

recent years. Although there are several problems

in the implementation of the provision, such as the

occurrence of corruption cases in the Green Open

Space Appoints / ”Integrity Monument”.

The bureaucratic structure in the implementation

of green open space policies has been carried out

well even though the open green space has not been

maximally determined by the existing rules / policies.

This is indicated by the completion of the provision

of green open space at several points in Pekanbaru,

which is currently widely enjoyed in Pekanbaru. such

as green open space, integrity teaching green space,

road parks, feeding, etc. Barriers to the government in

implementing the Policy for Provision of Green Open

Space in Pekanbaru City

Through this study, researchers found several

obstacles faced by the city government especially

in implementing this green open space policy. The

obstacles faced by Pekanbaru City Government itself

include:

• The absence of a special team in disseminating

information to the community about the

importance and the community has a

responsibility for fulﬁlling 10% of the green

open space of the 30% who were saved in the

policy.

• Limited land owned by the government of

Pekanbaru city in particular, so that to provide

green open space in the city itself the government

must buy it to the public at a very high price

• There is no collaboration with the private sector to

supply and manage green open runag in the city of

Pekanbaru.

The model for the Pekanbaru City government in

implementing the Policy for Provision of Green Open

Space in Pekanbaru City

The author provides a model recommendation

that can be applied in the city of Pekanbaru in the

implementation of providing green open space in

Pekanbaru city. As for the proposed model as follows:

4 CONCLUSION

From the results of the research that has been carried

out on the implementation of the green open space

Figure 2: Pekanbaru City Spatial Planning Ofﬁce

policy in Pekanbaru, the authors make the following

conclusions:

• In general, the communication between the

implementing units has been carried out

accordingly according to the indicators discussed

by the researcher, but the socialization carried out

by the government to the community has not been

implemented as it should be in accordance with

the expectations of the existing policies.

• In implementing the green open space policy in

pekanbaru city, for the Resource indicator, in

general it has been implemented in accordance

with the existing provisions, but for the

availability of funding sources in the provision of

green open space it is also limited because there

is a need that must also be provided or completed

by the Ofﬁce PUPR Pekanbaru City.

• That the implementation of green open space

policy in the city of pekanbaru can indeed be said

to have been implemented, this is evidenced by

the development of several Green Open Space

in Pekanbaru City recent years. But it has not

been carried out maximally from the desired

expectations. The area of Public Open Space that

must be met is 126.452 Km

(20%) = 12,645.2

ha, Total Public Open Space managed by DPUPR

2017 = 80,582 ha. So the green space that is

fulﬁlled = 0.637% from 20%.
