Abstract

Background: Rapid urbanization has significantly increased industrial activity, transportation, and energy use in cities, increasing air pollution. In addition to having a detrimental effect on the ecosystem, air pollution raises the risk of heart disease, respiratory conditions, and early mortality. Green open space is seen as a natural way to lower air pollution because of the vegetation's capacity to absorb pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10. Method: This SLR analysis combines quantitative bibliometry and descriptive research methods. Findings: The study results show that GOS plays an important role in reducing air pollutant concentrations, improving air quality, and providing health benefits to the community. However, the effectiveness of GOS is influenced by factors such as vegetation type, green area area, and urban spatial planning. Limited land, lack of integration in urban planning, and low public awareness are major problems in GOS development. In addition, this study found the potential to optimize GOS through innovations such as vertical green spaces and green roofs. Conclusion: This study also found that GOS should be included in sustainable urban spatial planning policies to improve air quality, reduce pollution impacts on health, and create a healthier and more comfortable urban environment for people by optimizing the GOS. To ensure the GOS development can go smoothly and sustainably in the future, it is required to have scientifically based policy recommendations. Novelty/Originality: This study assesses GOS's capacity to absorb air pollution by contrasting case studies from Indonesia and Singapore.

Abstract

Background: Spatial planning is an essential component of regional development, particularly in areas that serve as centers of governance and economic activity. Challenges in sustainable spatial management arise as population growth increases the demand for public facilities, housing, and green open spaces. This study analyzes spatial planning policies with a focus on land use, infrastructure, and environmental impacts. Using a participatory approach, it aims to identify problems and explore potential strategies for more effective spatial planning development. Methods: This study applies a comprehensive literature review method, with data sourced from previous studies and land use maps. The discussion is presented descriptively, referencing relevant scientific literature and reliable sources. Findings: The results are expected to provide recommendations for sustainability-oriented decision-making and contribute to improving the quality of life of urban communities. These efforts are essential to balance development with environmental conservation while also enhancing the attractiveness of urban areas for investment and tourism. Conclusion: Analysis shows that residential land experienced a substantial increase, from 171.44 hectares to 348.17 hectares, reflecting high demand for housing driven by population growth and infrastructure development. Conversely, dry land decreased drastically from 1,566.23 hectares to 305.41 hectares, indicating significant conversion of land for non-agricultural purposes. The reduction of green open land and dry land poses serious risks to food security and environmental quality. Novelty/Originality of this article:  This study emphasizes the importance of implementing sustainable spatial planning policies that balance infrastructure and residential development with ecological preservation and agricultural sustainability. With appropriate strategies, land use can be directed to support sustainable and resilient urban growth.
