Abstract

This study examines the role of Community Citizenship Education (Civic Engagement) in fostering ecological awareness within urban communities, focusing on the utilization of Child-Friendly Integrated Public Spaces (RPTRAs) in Jakarta as a case study. Employing a cultural value orientation and ecological citizenship theory as the analytical framework, this research aims to elucidate the significance of civic engagement in environmental education. The involvement of various stakeholders, including government bodies, educational institutions, corporations through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, and social organizations, has facilitated the establishment of a collaborative platform for promoting green public spaces. Findings reveal that the existing 296 RPTRAs in Jakarta serve not only as recreational and social venues but also as effective mediums for civic engagement activities, thereby enhancing ecological consciousness among children and the broader urban population. However, the study identifies challenges such as the need for improved human resource quality, better facilities, and financing in RPTRA management. The research underscores the pivotal role of civic engagement in environmental stewardship and the potential for RPTRAs to serve as a model for other urban areas.
