The focus of the discussion in this study is on the design and needs of RPTRA
in communities with different environmental and cultural contexts. Including
the understanding of the surrounding community who ”get” the RPTRA regard�ing the procedures for its use and maintenance. An equally important part is
the concept of ”child-friendly”, what kind of understanding and implementa�tion is there, and its legal basis (particularly for the protection of children in
public spaces – RPTRA). This research was conducted on Tidung Island, one
of the islands in the South Thousand Islands District, Seribu Islands Regency,
DKI Jakarta Province. Several things that need to be considered as a reference
in the development of RPTRA in archipelagic areas based on an architectural
approach: (1) Access and affordability, (2) Community involvement in RPTRA
design, (3) RPTRA which also basically pays attention to children with special
needs, (4) Maintaining Green Open Space compared to the existence of build�ings, (5) Prioritizing activity facilities that are the choice of the surrounding
community, (6) RPTRA design must pay attention to weather conditions in
coastal areas, (7) Socialization to the surrounding community on the character
of materials and their use, (8 ) RPTRA designer’s understanding of zoning and
facility classiϐication, (9) Setting zoning activities between toddlers and youth,
(10) Utilizing existing facilities outside the RPTRA. Several things that need to
be considered as a reference in the development of RPTRA in archipelagic areas
based on a legal approach are: (1) The legal aspects of establishing an RPTRA
based on the ideal area, (2) The conception of RPTRA as accommodating the
idea of a child-friendly city based on existing regulations, (3 ) Legal studies to
harmonize RPTRA with the PKK Main Program based on Governor Regulation
Number 40 of 2016 have not gone well, (4) Legally (based on Governor’s Decree
Number 349 of 2015 concerning the Implementation Team for RPTRA Develop�ment and Maintenance) the role of RPTRA managers must also be emphasized
its main tasks and functions.
