The local government provides 20% of public green space (PGS) through spatial planning, which serves as the basis for the policy on public green space provision. However, many regions face challenges in achieving this target, not only in Indonesia but also in various cities around the world. Most research on PGS has been conducted in medium and large cities, which are considered to have complex urban issues; however, small cities also face similar problems. Payakumbuh, as a small city, also experiences challenges in providing PGS. Until now, the Payakumbuh City Government has made efforts to provide PGS, but these efforts have appeared sporadic and unstructured, making it difficult to assess their effectiveness, and thus they fall far short of the established targets.
This study aims to identify and explain the efforts made by the Payakumbuh City Government in providing PGS and the factors influencing this provision. This research falls under the category of qualitative and exploratory research. Data were collected through primary and secondary surveys, involving semi-structured interviews with 25 selected informants using a purposive-snowball sampling method. The informants included 17 government representatives, 5 from the private sector, and 3 community leaders.
Based on the research findings, it was discovered that the efforts made by the Payakumbuh City Government to realize PGS provision can be categorized into administrative, regulatorative, executive, and collaborative efforts. However, the implementation has predominantly focused on administrative and regulatorative efforts. These efforts have not had a direct impact on achieving the fulfillment of PGS, resulting in only 3.15% of PGS in Payakumbuh. The influencing factors include budget limitations, local leadership, the work culture of government officials, human resources, the dominance of green land, and Minangkabau cultural customs.
