Strategi Manajemen Lanskap yang Dikembangkan untuk Taman Kota di Kota Purwokerto
Abstract
The Green Open Space (RTH) development program for 2021-2025 states that Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (DLH) of Banyumas Regency manages city parks in Purwokerto City. Despite the fact that developments and optimisations took place in both 2021 and 2022, landscape conditions still need attention. So, this study aims to evaluate the management of urban parks’ landscapes and to analyse perceptions of community members who visited the city parks across Purwokerto City regarding city park management. Study findings will be used to develop a sustainable landscape management strategy. This research implements a mixed method in data collection, a Chi-Square test, and a SWOT-based analysis. Results show landscape management works well when intensive maintenance is enforced despite labour shortages. Visitors’ perception is central in assessing the management of a city park, especially when analysis is done based on the most significant Chi-Square test results. Male respondents of Taman Satria Berkoh and male-female respondents to Purwokerto Square have a strong perception of the role of temperature comfort and performance of park managers in landscape management. Respondents aged between 26-34 years in Taman Mas Apung Kemambang, as well as respondents with status as residents of Purwokerto City and Banyumas Regency in Ahmad Yani Literacy Park, focused their perceptions on the importance of facilities provision in landscape management. Ultimately, this research proposes a landscape management strategy of "hold and maintain."
