Abstract
This study aims to discuss the indicators used in the indexation of green cities in the world as indicators in realizing one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), namely the goal 11th - sustainable cities and communities. There are 8 (eight) green city indicators, namely (1) green planning and design, (2) green community, (3) green open space, (4) green building, (5) green waste, (6) green energy, (7) green transportation, and (8) green water. In this study focus on one indicator, namely the green open space with the research location in Semarang City. The area of green open space (RTH) in Semarang in 2009 was 23,146.70 ha. In 2012, it changed to 17,149,902 ha, and in 2015 it was 19,541 ha. The dynamic change of open green space in Semarang showed a relatively diverse condition but still in good control, so that the percentage of green open space provision in accordance with the spatial planning law (Law No. 26 tahun 2007) is 30% of the total area, which can still be fulfilled. However, stronger efforts are needed to realize a balanced condition between public and private green open space.
