ABSTRACT The benefits and functions of the availability of greenspace is very important for the survival of a city. Urban greenspace structuring is one of the urban planning strategies to limit excessive development and overcome the ecological impact of various human activities related to disruption of natural processes in the urban environment. The high number of urban population that continues to increase from time to time has implications for increasing pressure on the use of urban space, so that the spatial planning of urban areas needs attention, especially those related to the provision of public open spaces in urban areas.

INTRODUCTION A number of areas in urban areas undergo changes in land use due to the development process that occurs because development in urban areas has a tendency to minimize greenspace. As an illustration of the results of Ludang research (2018) on the calculation of the need for an area of greenspace in the city of Palangka Raya based on the area in 2012; total area of 267,961 ha, the area of greenspace of the city of Palangka Raya that must be prepared is 80,355.30 ha http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJARET 172 [email protected] Design of Quality Structures for Public Greenspace in Palangka Raya City consisting of public green space of 53,570.20 ha and private green space of 26,796.1 ha. The area of green space at that time was 79,016 ha, meaning it still lacked 1,339.30 ha. While the needs of the area of greenspace in Palangka Raya city are based on a population of 229,559 people, the area of green space that must be prepared is 1,151.4 ha, while the available green space area is 79,016 ha, then it is fulfilled and is sufficient for the needs of Palangka Raya city greenspace based on the population. According to Adiyanta (2018) the results of research on this topic obtained a brief formula, namely: a) The availability of public space and greenspace is an integral and inseparable part of urban spatial planning; b) Public spaces and city green spaces have a main and strategic function for the social interaction of urban communities, the heart of the balance of the ecosystem and the city environment, and as an expression of social, economic, cultural values and the actualization of the face of life of urban society; and c) Responsibility for the management, designation, and utilization of public spaces and greenspaces in a sustainable manner can be carried out optimally from the synergy between the city government, the private sector and the community. The quality of urban greenspace is part of open spaces of an urban area that is filled with plants, plants and vegetation both endemic and introduced to support ecological, socio- cultural and architectural benefits that can provide economic benefits for the community. In general, public space is an open space that is able to accommodate the need for meeting places and joint activities between people to interact with each other. The social facilities must be placed in an easily accessible area to become a place of social interaction for all communities in the scattered settlement. The relationship between community facilities to support social activities especially parks and green spaces has value as a space to influence social interaction by having a function as a recreational space and space for outdoor activities (Yuliastuti et al., 2018). Therefore this paper reviews more comprehensively about the design of greenspace. Urban spatial planning is organized to improve the quantity and quality of the urban environment in harmony, harmony and balance between the development of the environment and the way of life of the people. The direction of sustainable development policies in an area, also cannot be separated from the availability of space and the suitability of the existing space in the region. 2. THE BASICS OF COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN 2.1.

Greenspace Definitively, greenspace is an area or area of land surface that is dominated by plants that are fostered for the function of protecting certain habitats, and / or environmental facilities / cities, and or securing infrastructure networks, and / or agricultural cultivation. The availability of greenspace for a residential area in urban areas is basically in addition to improving the quality of the atmosphere, supporting the preservation of water and land, also serves to improve the quality of the ecosystem and beautify the urban landscape (Adiyanta, 2018). Urban greenspace is part of an urban open space filled with plants and plants to support ecological, social, cultural, economic and aesthetic benefits (Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 1 of 2007 in chapter 1 article 1 paragraph 2 ). Greenspace is an elongated area / path and / or group, the use of which is more open, a place to grow plants, both those that grow naturally and are intentionally planted. Non- greenspace, is open space in urban areas that are not included in the green space category, in the form of hardened land or in the form of water bodies (Minister of Public Works Regulation Number 5 / PRT / M / 2008 Chapter I No. 18). Greenspace consists of 1) private greenspace, is RTH belonging to a particular institution or individual whose utilization is for a limited circle, among others in the form of gardens or yard houses / buildings owned by the public / private planted with plants; 2) public greenspace, is green space that is owned and managed by the city / regency regional government that is used for the benefit of the community in general. The purpose of organizing greenspace is to maintain the availability of land as a water catchment area; creating urban planological aspects through a balance between the natural environment and the built environment that is useful for the benefit of the community; and increasing the harmony of the urban environment as a means of safeguarding a safe, comfortable, fresh, beautiful and clean urban environment (Minister of Public Works Regulation Number 5 / PRT / M / 2008). Minister of Public Works Regulation Number 05 / PRT / M / 2008 article 3 guidelines for the provision and utilization of greenspace in urban areas aims to maintaining the availability http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJARET 174 [email protected] Design of Quality Structures for Public Greenspace in Palangka Raya City of land as water catchment areas; and creating urban planological aspects through a balance between the natural environment and the built environment that is useful for the benefit of the community; and increasing harmony of the urban environment as a means of safeguarding a safe, comfortable, fresh, beautiful and clean urban environment. The functions of this green space are: (1) Maintaining the availability of land as a water catchment area in the environment; (2) Creating a planological aspect of the environment through a balance between the natural environment and the built environment that is useful for the benefit of the community; (3) Increase the aesthetic value of the area; (4) Adding recreation facilities and interactions in the area for the benefit of the community.
