| Summary: | Until recently, Green Open Space is considered as the most appropriate answer
to the issue of ecological environment. Minimun criteria set by the goverment
widened the reference inthe administration of urban green open space. However,
we often forget that the ideal of green open space is the one that blends with
spatial pattern character of cities and regions to consider aspects of authenticity,
connectivity between spaces, and the ability to answer the challenges of
ecological sustainability of the environment.
Meanwhile, the city of Yogyakarta, which is triggered by various factors, coupled
with the natural factors causing a unique variety of spatial patterns. History
records that give rise to the diversity of human activities are at the beginning of
the Yogyakarta Kingdom, then the Dutch and British occupation, the impact of the
industrial revolution, political instability, the rise of the university, and modern day
life as it is today.
This study was to answer the challenge of Yogyakarta to provide green open
spaces such as the criteria. Studies of a typology of green open space in relation
to the concept of urban-rural, and the diversity of vegetation types is the first step
to identify the spatial pattern of green open space at this time, in accordance with
the authenticity of which is formed from the morphology of the city. The findings
of this study is expected to be a reference concept in the planning of urban green
open space area of Yogyakarta.
