Abstract

Environmental problems which happen in Jakarta metropolitan city, have
already come into a very critical condition. All surface water, such as
rivers, swamps and small lakes, have extremely been continuing
polluted. Even ground water, not only the quality is getting worse, but
also the quantity is decreasing. Otherwise many swamps and small
lakes have been changing into a domestic settlement or commercial
estate. One of few alternatives to cope with the problems is to manage
all gardens in Jakarta by applying a new concept “Ecopark” which makes
an optimizing the ecological function of a park. The concept is based
on the aim to make a friendly garden which is a part of green open
space. Through this application, especially for big gardens with the
area 5.000m2 - 10.000m2, the water resource potential will increase and
its conservation will be continuously guaranteed. Garden Cornel
Simanjuntak dan Utama Raya are the two examples of big city gardens
which have not been managed yet by the concept Ecopark. This activity
explained how the two gardens have to be properly managed by the
concept. The water use pattern for watering the plants, garden as the
catchment area and domestical wastewater recycling for watering are
the major ways to optimize the ecological function of gardens.
