Rapid urban development to meet the population's needs impacts ecological changes and a decrease in environmental quality. Green Open Space (RTH) is an important element in supporting ecological balance and improving the quality of the urban environment. Although Law No. 26 of 2007 mandates the allocation of 30% of land for green spaces, in reality only about 10% is managed privately and 20% by the public sector. This study aims to evaluate the quality of the 113-hectare Kendari Botanical Garden, Southeast Sulawesi's first conservation space, which is experiencing accessibility and infrastructure challenges despite physical development. The methods used include interviews, observations, and literature studies, with descriptive analysis of accessibility, activities, and facilities aspects. The results showed that the accessibility aspect received a good rating, while the activity and facility aspects were in the fair to good category. This research emphasizes the need for improvement to meet the needs of sustainable urban planning and increase visitor comfort so that Kendari Botanical Garden can function optimally as an inclusive and user-friendly green space.
