CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN GREEN OPEN SPACE PLANNING IN THE CITY OF DENPASAR

The phenomenon of land use change in Bali is not only triggered by population growth marked by the dynamics of development in urban areas, but also driven by the rapid development of the tourism sector. According to Suparta (2012), the violation of the green belt area in Bali is getting higher, this proves that the government is less firm in enforcing regional regulations as a legal umbrella to protect the area from development and land use change.

Transfer of land functions, especially violations of areas designated as green open space (RTH) with the highest intensity occur in the area of ​​Denpasar City. Whereas in order to regulate and maintain the availability of green space in its region, the Denpasar City Government already has a policy as a control device in the form of regional and mayor regulations. The rules already exist and the area defined as green space is also clear, but why do violations still occur?

Every policy decided by the government is the result of a synergy, compromise or even competition - in this research referred to as a conflict - between various ideas, theories, ideologies, and interests. The link with violations of green space will lie in two key factors, namely government institutions and the rule of law referring to regulations in the form of policies. The existence of these various interests is the main focus of research with the aim to better understand conflicts of interest in the planning of green space in the city of Denpasar, as part of public policy oriented to the relationship between planning systems and urban development.

This problem is examined through a study of three elements of research, namely: (1) green space in the context of spatial planning and formation; (2) interests involved in green space planning; and (3) the influence of various interests on the existence of green space. In addition to having authenticity, this research is also expected to be able to contribute to the enrichment of the urban architecture-design scientific discipline with socio-cultural uniqueness conditions. To achieve this goal, this study was designed using a qualitative approach with interpretive methods. Data collection through literature studies, field surveys (observations), interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was performed in a descriptive qualitative manner. Substantially, the research results are then compiled in a final research report with an output in the form of publications in reputable international journals and the International Journal of Engineering and Emerging Technology (IJEET), speakers at scientific meetings / international seminars, and draft dissertations.
