Abstract: The rapid growth in urban development, tends to decrease Green Open Spaces in South Tangerang City region. Continuous development, has caused decline in the ecosystem , poor air quality , traffic congestion, and various other factors that can cause physical and mental health problems for urban people such as depression, obesity, diabetes, hypertension . Various studies have shown that being outdoor can reduce stress levels (Wells et al, 2003) as well as levels of depression and anxiety (Park et al, 2010). The decrease of green spaces, due to development in the city of South Tangerang, and the lack of maintenance of the surrounding green open spaces and environmental parks in the area, led to the emergence of the idea of conducting research on the Situ Gintung area as one of the few green open spaces or parks in this city. This research was carried out using a descriptive qualitative method, by making observations and surveys around the research location, collecting on location data ,and finding supporting literatures necessary in order to obtain information that could help achieve the right solution to overcome existing problems, in hope that it can be a recommendation and reference for the development of this area in the future. Improving the existing green open spaces into a humanistic and sustainable green open spaces that can be enjoyed by all groups of people, will benefit the physical, mental health and well-being of the community.
