Abstract
The growing demand for housing in the Jabodetabek region has driven the large-scale development of residential areas by private developers. However, the provision of green infrastructures (Ruang Terbuka Hijau - RTH) within residential block plans often considered not in line with the provisions set of the minimum requirements stipulated in the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency Regulation No. 14 of 2022. This study aims to quantitatively assess the proportion of RTH allocated by developers within cluster housing block plans and to compare these provisions against prevailing regulatory standards. A comparative quantitative method was employed, analyzing a purposive sample of approved residential block plans submitted by developers across multiple cities in Jabodetabek between 2017 and 2022. Statistical analysis was used to measure compliance levels, while complementary interviews with selected planning authorities and developers provided qualitative insights into decision-making processes. The findings highlight the discrepancies between developer practices and normative regulations, and identify key factors such as land cost pressures, market-driven design priorities, and regulatory enforcement inconsistencies that influence RTH provision decisions. These insights are critical to advancing more regenerative and sustainable approaches to residential development, emphasizing the need for strengthened policy frameworks and integrated design strategies in metropolitan contexts.
