Abstract
Green open space (GOS) refers to the areas of vegetation within urban environments,   possessing a variety of functions beneficial for the environment, social, and economic   aspects, necessary to coexist within urban realms. However, to establish the ideal GOS many   challenges has been faced by some cities. Limtied attention has been given to the policy   implementation of GOS, particularly in the mega city, such as Jakarta. Thus, the study of GOS   policy is important to be conducted. This research aims to identify the status and challenges   of the implementation of green open spaces in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study found that the   current policies surrounding green open space in Jakarta and the provisions of parks in South   Jakarta have not fulfil the ideals set by the mandated laws; this inability also highlights the   challenges of the system management and devaluation of its existence due to the decreasing   prioritization of government directives. Furthermore, this study underscores the progressions   and attempts to improve the provisions of green open spaces, despite being incremental.
