%X The rapid urbanization in developing countries is accelerating both the depletion and fragmentation of urban greenspace, despite the known positive effects of green spaces on the environmental conditions in cities and the quality oflife of residents. Consequently, there is a need for practical tools that can support the development of networks of urbangreen spaces. This article presents a study that used a GIS-based least cost path (LCP) analysis to identify the best alternativefor developing an urban green space network in the coastal city of Jakarta, Indonesia, which was based on the evaluationof topography and land use characteristics. Pair-wise analysis was used to reduce the sensitivity in the LCP model.The results showed that the coastal wetlands in the northern part of Jakarta and the agricultural fields in the suburbanareas of Jakarta play an important role in connecting the green space network. On the other hand, some green spaces inthe central part of Jakarta could not be connected by the LCP model. The method used in this study can serve as a tool tosupport the identification of networks of potential urban green spaces. It can also provide useful information for sustainableurban landscape planning and management in urban ecosystems. However, the inclusion of socio-economic criteriawould further improve the model.
