Green open spaces: climate mitigation of climate change in Indonesia

Abstract

Introduction: The provision of microclimate for young people is an important prerequisite for outdoor thermal comfort in urban communities. The microclimate consists of four elements: air temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. The City Green area consists of urban landscape, urban forest green, urban recreational green, sports green and garden green. The green open spaces are classified according to the state of the region, not according to the shape or structure of the vegetation. The green land is intended to maintain land availability as a catchment area. Methods: in this study the authors tried to use a systematic literature review method. This method tries to collect existing literature and articles which are then reviewed to look for potential green open spaces as a solution to addressing microclimates. Finding: In the early 1990s, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established as the body to address global warming: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation involves finding ways to slow, control or absorb greenhouse gas emissions from forests or other carbon "sinks". In response to global warming and climate change, the Government of Indonesia enacted Law No. 26 in 2007. Law No. 05/PRT/M/2008 on Spatial Planning and the Guidelines of the Minister of Public Works on the Provision and Use of Green Open Space in Urban Areas stipulate that green open space is defined as space that extends/expands and/or clusters, which is more open for human use, and is a place for plants to grow, both naturally and intentionally planted. Conclusion: Benefits of green space include supporting the health, welfare and safety of urban residents. Green spaces can also promote the production of natural resources, prevent natural disasters, protect the environment, promote health and safety, and promote entertainment activities and map development.
