The impact of urban development is the rapid
growth of the urban population, causing a decrease in the
density of green open space. This study aims to describe
the current condition of green open space in
Panakkukang District as a target of its development to
maintain the ecological balance and disaster mitigation
function. The analytical method used is superimposed and
quantitative descriptive based on population needs to be
based on area, population density analysis, oxygen
fulfillment analysis, and analysis of evacuation space
utilization. This study shows that the current size of green
open space in each village in the district has become much
smaller; the highest need for green open space based on
oxygen fulfillment is in Tammamaung village with an area
of 56.31 ha; based on its area is the Panakkukang village
of 109.85 ha, and based on the total population in the
village of Tammamaung around 56.14 ha. Factors
influencing changes in the size of green open space in
Panakkukang Regency are the allocation of green open
space in the Spatial Plan, economic facilities, number of
visitors, population density, and educational facilities, and
the development of green open spaces from parks, urban
forests, and cemeteries. Green open space from the road
lane is made on the primary and secondary road lane
while the development of green open space on the river
border is set to be 5 to 20 meters from the riverside.
Roads, parking areas, parks, and urban forests are used
as evacuation spaces for disaster mitigation.
