Policy Implementation of Tree Management in Public Green Open Spaces, Green Lines and Parks in Semarang City

Development is an effort made in the context of managing and utilizing resources to improve the quality of life of an area, both on a central and regional scale. This happened to the city of Semarang, which continued to carry out development related to infrastructure and the management of its governance. However, currently there is still often destruction of the environment to achieve certain development goals. Such as felling trees in public green open spaces that are less controlled or carried out without permission from the relevant agencies. This study uses an empirical method, which discusses the implementation of tree management policies in public green open spaces, green lanes and parks in the city of Semarang carried out by the City Government and the community, and what legal actions are given by the City Government against people who commit illegal loggers. This paper concludes that the felling of trees in public green open spaces, green lanes, and parks should only be done with permission from the Department of Housing and Settlement Areas of Semarang City. In this case, if the community (as the reporter or the applicant) wants to cut down trees, they must first submit an application letter to the Semarang City Housing and Settlement Office.
