Abstract :
The rapid urban development of Jakarta has
led to significant changes in people's lifestyles. The
pressures of city living result in reduced outdoor
activities. This, in turn, has negatively impacted mental
health, with depression rates steadily rising. The Central
Statistics Agency reported a significant increase in the
prevalence of depression in Indonesia from 6.2% in 2018
to 13.6% in 2023. Jakarta has a higher prevalence of
depressive disorders compared to the rest of the country,
with 8.5% of its population affected. Recent studies have
demonstrated a strong link between green spaces and
improved physical and mental health. Green Open
Spaces like Tebet Eco Park, located in South Jakarta,
hold great potential to serve as a "therapy tool" for
mental health. This research aims to explore this
potential through a qualitative case study with a case
study design. It seeks answers to: Do the park's design
and facilities address mental health needs?, what specific
elements of green spaces influence mental recovery?,
what untapped potentials or weaknesses exist in Tebet
Eco Park?, how can the park be improved to enhance
mental well-being? The results of the study show that in
general, the surrounding community has a positive
perception of Tebet Eco Park. However, improvements
are needed so that this park can be an effective mental
health recovery place for visitors.
