This The rapid urbanization in Indonesia has caused significant changes in land use, resulting in the reduction of green open spaces and affecting environmental quality. These impacts are evident - 25 - Gumilang, et al / Transformation of Pancoran Village through Education Tourism and Green Environment Management for Sustainable Empowerment / 24-34 from increased air pollution, decreased groundwater infiltration, and reduced biodiversity. In response, various cities in Indonesia have launched eco-friendly programs to maintain urban The development of urban parks and the greening of residential areas have been implemented, which have proven effective in improving environmental health. Research shows that urban green spaces play a crucial role in reducing pollution, suppressing noise, and lowering air temperatures (Delgado-Baquerizo et , 2. Furthermore, community involvement in green space management fosters a strong sense of ownership, ensuring the sustainability of environmental programs. Collaboration between governments and communities is seen as a key element in achieving environmental sustainability in urban areas. Strategies that integrate greening into urban spatial planning and raise public awareness about the benefits of green spaces are considered capable of mitigating the negative impacts of urbanization. This approach not only enhances environmental quality but also provides social and economic benefits, such as increased property values and improved public health.
