Identify the use of Sekartaji Park in Kediri City as a creative public space

Urban development in sub-urban areas occurs due to the agglomeration of residential areas which form a functional unity in urban activities. Continuous urban development will give rise to urban sustainability problems, one of which is the lack of available green open space to support the natural ecological cycle of a sustainable urban environment. Green Open Space as Creative Public Space can boost the regional economy because it is able to attract people to gather for recreation, play and work and has opened up opportunities for the development of the creative economy market. The Green Open Space of Sekartaji Park, Kediri City, can become a Creative Public Space, but it still experiences obstacles so it must be arranged according to the criteria and function of Creative Public Space. This research aims to utilize green open space into public open space. This research uses a qualitative descriptive research method. Data collection was carried out using literature studies, interviews and observations. The results of this research are the use of green open space as Creative Public Space with facilities and infrastructure for local economic activities, creativity-innovation in art, culture and social interaction.
