Evaluasi taman median Jalan Bypass I Gusti Ngurah Rai pada Simpang Pesanggaran hingga Simpang Sanur

Abstract

The I Gusti Ngurah Rai bypass road is a vital route in Denpasar City, connecting different regions. The road median contributes to both safety and aesthetics. The presence of the median road park can enhance its aesthetic and functional value, but inappropriate plant selection, irregular planting patterns, and lack of routine maintenance can reduce its appeal and compromise road safety. This study aims to identify existing problems and provide recommendations for plant selection and median garden arrangement. A quantitative descriptive method with a scoring system was used, assessing plant selection, rider safety, maintenance, and planting suitability. Data were collected through field observations, literature review, and interviews. Results show that most plants meet ecological suitability reached 89.29% highly suitable and 10.71% suitable. Morphological suitability recorded 78.57% highly suitable and 21.43% suitable. Maintenance showed 78.57% highly suitable and 21.43% suitable. Planting suitability included 42.86% highly suitable, 42.86% suitable, and 14.29% unsuitable. However, hardscape elements recorded 33.33% suitable and 66.67% unsuitable. Plant arrangement was rated 33.33% unsuitable and 66.67% highly unsuitable. Plant function achieved the highest value in Segment 2 at 41.67%, while Segment 1 recorded the lowest value at 36.36% highly unsuitable.
