Urbanization and population growth in Medan City have driven residential expansion that reduces the availability of public green open space in Medan Johor District. Within the regulatory framework of Law Number 26 of 2007, urban areas are required to provide at least 30% green open space (RTH) of the total area, consisting of 20% public RTH and 10% private RTH. This study aims to analyze the pattern and magnitude of residential expansion, its impact on public RTH availability, and the implications for environmental indicators and spatial services, focusing exclusively on the achievement of the 20% public RTH target. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method is applied through overlay analysis of 2015 and 2025 land use maps using Geographic Information Systems, complemented by demographic and spatial planning data. The findings show that residential land increased from 1,080.35 ha to 1,207.80 ha, while green open space declined from 596.08 ha to 432.15 ha, indicating a substantial reduction in public green space effectively serving the population. The proportion of total RTH decreased from 35.15% to 25.83% of the district area, which implicitly suggests that the share of public RTH falls below the mandated 20% target within the 30% policy framework. This decline has consequences for environmental quality, including reduced water infiltration capacity, higher surface temperature, and diminishing public space for social interaction, recreation, and sports. The results highlight the need to strengthen spatial regulation and land conversion control to restore and increase public RTH towards the 20% standard required by national spatial planning policy.

The Integrated Utility Network Facility (SJUT) is a strategic urban policy to reorganize utility infrastructure, improve road-work safety, and enhance urban aesthetics. Yet, its implementation strongly depends on cross-sector coordination involving local government, state-/region-owned enterprises, telecommunication operators, and private partners. This study assesses the effectiveness of cross-sector coordination in Medan's SJUT implementation, identifies key barriers, and proposes coordination-strengthening strategies based on polycentric governance and an integrated utility GIS. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was used: a survey (n=100) of stakeholders and corridor users followed by in-depth interviews and policy document review. Findings indicate moderate perceived coordination effectiveness (mean 3.47; SD 0.92), with notable weaknesses in policy awareness/socialization and data-sharing mechanisms. Pearson correlation shows a very strong relationship between coordination and implementation effectiveness (r=0.92; p<0.01). Qualitative evidence highlights three critical issues: the absence of a shared utility map, sectoral ego, and unclear partnership governance (KSO), leading to delays and limited implementation scope. The study recommends establishing a permanent coordination forum, standardizing utility data, and developing an integrated utility GIS as prerequisites for holistic SJUT integration.

Urban river revitalization has become an important approach in strengthening public spaces and urban identity. The Deli River, as a major landscape element of Medan City, possesses significant social, historical, and cultural potential; however, its function as a public space has not been optimally developed. This study aims to analyze the revitalization of the Deli River landscape as a public space and its implications for the formation of Medan's urban identity. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining descriptive quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis using a SWOT framework. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents who actively use the riverfront area, while qualitative data were obtained through field observations, brief interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the Deli River area still functions as an active social space, as reflected by the high intensity of social interactions among users. However, the quality of physical revitalization remains uneven, characterized by limited accessibility, poor environmental cleanliness, and unequal distribution of supporting facilities. In addition, cultural activities along the riverfront are sporadic and lack continuity. The SWOT analysis suggests that successful revitalization of the Deli River requires an integrated approach that combines physical improvement, strengthening of social functions, and community-based cultural development. This study contributes to the discourse on urban river revitalization by highlighting the importance of integrating social, physical, and cultural dimensions in shaping public spaces and urban identity.

This study examines the existing conditions of a coastal informal settlement in Pagurawan, Batu Bara Regency, with emphasis on housing quality, basic infrastructure, and environmental sanitation, and formulates an appropriate, context-sensitive upgrading strategy for a fishermen community. A qualitative case-study design was used, combining field observations, document review, and community/stakeholder inputs. The findings indicate multiple, interacting drivers of deprivation: limited access to safe water and sanitation, inadequate drainage and solid waste services, high exposure to coastal hazards (tidal flooding and abrasion), insecure tenure, and constrained household livelihoods. Building on recent evidence from community-based sanitation and slum-upgrading practices in Batu Bara and North Sumatra, the paper proposes a staged upgrading framework: rapid WASH improvements and waste management, climate-adaptive access infrastructure, incremental tenure arrangements, ecosystem-based coastal protection, and livelihood strengthening through cooperative-based value addition. The proposed strategy highlights the need for collaborative governance that aligns municipal programs, community organizations, and private/CSR support to ensure both technical suitability and long-term operation.

This study aims to analyze the existing conditions of environmental roads before development, assess the impact of development on community mobility and economic activities, and identify supporting factors, inhibitions, and sustainability strategies for road construction in Padang Cermin Village, Lalat Regency. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection through field observations, interviews with the community and village officials, and documentation. The results of the study show that before construction, the condition of the environmental roads in Padang Cermin Village was still in the form of dirt and was heavily damaged, thus hampering the mobility of residents and economic activities. After development, there was a significant increase in accessibility, a decrease in transportation costs, an increase in the number of MSMEs, and an increase in community participation in economic activities. The construction of environmental roads plays an important role in supporting the development of the Langkat Regency area, especially in accelerating local economic growth and strengthening inter-regional connectivity. Key supporting factors include government support, community participation, and institutional collaboration. The recommended sustainability strategies are improving the quality of infrastructure, periodic maintenance, community empowerment, and integration of development with regional economic development plans. Thus, the construction of environmental roads in Padang Cermin Village has been proven to provide significant economic, social, and spatial benefits for the sustainable development of the Langkat Regency area.
