Rapid urbanization and land-use conversion have reduced the availability of Urban Green Spaces (UGS), making sustainable UGS management a major challenge in West Karawang District. Although Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) has increased, the proportion of public UGS remains low, and the role of community participation in its management has not been extensively studied. This research utilizes a quantitative approach using an explanatory research method. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). This research seeks to investigate how PAD and community participation impact sustainable UGS management. The findings reveal that PAD does not have a significant influence, whereas community participation has a positive and significant effect on UGS management. The two variables explain the variation in UGS management, with community participation identified as the most significant factor.
