The provision of open spaces within a residential development is often seen as unimportant. The
Malaysian Government targeted to provide 2 hectares of open space per 1000 population to be
achieved as a developed nation status by the year 2020. This vision can be seen as the
Government attempt to ensure the sustainability of open spaces in Malaysia. The Federal
Department of Town and Country Planning, Peninsular Malaysia (FDTCP) has produced a
planning standard guideline to supervise the implementation of the open space policy in
Malaysia. According to FDTCP; until December 2009, Malaysia has achieved a percentage of
1.19 hectares of open space per 1000 population. Achieving the standard requires commitment of
local authorities to implement the open space policy. However, the adoption of open spaces
policy differs among local authorities, from a simplistic general approach of land ratio
techniques to an ergonomics method. The paper examines the local allocation practices using 5
different approaches and it argues that implementation of open space by local planning
practices requires the knowledge of and understanding by planning profession towards a long
term sustainable green objectives. |
