The upstream area of Semarang City is earmarked for development that often ignores conservation. The research objective is to evaluate changes in land use and develop conservation plans to create green open spaces. Exploratory methods are used to collect data and develop suitable conservation activities. The research looked at land use change in Gunungpati District between 2017 and 2021, which shows that this region has an important role in maintaining environmental balance because it is located in the highlands. Conservation analysis is applied to assess land use change. The research results show that conservation has not been implemented optimally to create a green area. Vegetation cover in Gunungpati District is still adequate, at around 42%, but is facing the threat of environmental degradation due to population growth. One of the main causes of environmental degradation in this area is the increase in population caused by urbanisation, resulting in rapid changes in land use. Development in Gunungpati District has not been fully sustainable. Green spaces must be planned in conservation development based on three aspects – utilisation, preservation and protection.

Abstract

The upstream area of Semarang City is earmarked for development that often ignores conservation. The research objective is to evaluate changes in land use and develop conservation plans to create green open spaces. Exploratory methods are used to collect data and develop suitable conservation activities. The research looked at land use change in Gunungpati District between 2017 and 2021, which shows that this region has an important role in maintaining environmental balance because it is located in the highlands. Conservation analysis is applied to assess land use change. The research results show that conservation has not been implemented optimally to create a green area. Vegetation cover in Gunungpati District is still adequate, at around 42%, but is facing the threat of environmental degradation due to population growth. One of the main causes of environmental degradation in this area is the increase in population caused by urbanisation, resulting in rapid changes in land use. Development in Gunungpati District has not been fully sustainable. Green spaces must be planned in conservation development based on three aspects – utilisation, preservation and protection.
