Abstract

Gorontalo City is confronting issues as a result of its increasingly dense population. This breeds socio-economic challenges which adversely affect the environment, imbalanced supports, and ecological overstress, the impact of which is negative and gradually brings about fatal damage. Accordingly, the Gorontalo City community is in need of green open space. Several factors mind full of as regards a green open space are resource factors, i.e., infrastructures needed to create a green open space Required infrastructures, such as a sports center, water source, toilet, lamps, parking lot, and sanitation, may be unavailable in some subdistricts. Another factor is human resources, covering how the government issues a policy to activate these resources and make them contribute to the maintenance of green open space as the place for the community to carry out socio-economic activities. The government, as such, should issue a policy purposively assisting the community to advocate the sustainability of green open space.
