Parks Restore It

MANY circles argue, form a penchant for garden and park reflect "civilization" of a nation. In Italy, the land is mountainous, and as the birthplace of world-class musicians, playing music through the orchestra water characteristic parks there. The Greeks, who loved to cook and cure, birth kitchen garden. The gardens in Egypt is also equipped with herbaceous plants, spices, and perfume. The English are well known in gardens are shown there with the grass trimmed, and trimming of art known as Topiary. Similarly, in China and Japan, forming the main feature is a water park, rock, and hill hills.

Clearly the presence of parks in the city center, especially for the famous Jakarta dense traffic, population, and the hot air, very necessary. The park is filled with trees, in addition to nest various animals, such as, birds, butterflies, beetles, and so forth, also functioned as a micro-climate control, water and soil conservation, windbreak and sun filters, as well as the productive function and aesthetics.

The existence of the park in the big cities are also very help the public to socialize, to entertainment, a break from the boredom of everyday life, where children play, to learning facilities, and so on. With a love garden, children can learn botany, ecology, and indirectly educate children to love nature so that nature becomes mature personality.

According to the study of psychology experts, the existence of the park in the big cities can help provide psychological atmosphere in the cool, calm, serene, and peaceful. The existence of a neat gardens, believed capable of carrying and changing the atmosphere, the tension in the direction of peace, and to reduce disturbance of mental illness.

Budihardjo (1993) mentions, the city can be likened to an intact organism network consisting of city's hardware (physical city), and the city's software (spiritual town). Physical subsystem includes symptoms of metabolic (like digesting food), cardiovascular (blood circulation), nervous (persyarafan), and skeletal (pertulangan).

Imbalance or dysfunction of one of these subsystems will result in disruption of "health" of the city. For example, traffic congestion is severe, likened such as blockage of blood flow to the heart of the human body. Similarly, the loss of city parks, will interfere with the metabolism of "body" of town because the vast park functions as described since the beginning of this paper.

Back to the civilization and culture of a society, which is shown by the penchant for making garden. In China and Japan are very strong inherited tradition of Buddhism, Taoism, the spirit of Bushido, and so on, the parks there are not only designed physically, but also loaded with the spirit of spirituality.

Conversely, if you look at Jakarta's very fond of the city parks remove, lest it also shows that Indian civilization "barbarians", like damage, liver hot, arid soul, do not like peace, greedy, and so on? Wallahualam. Return the city parks lost and switch functions. Gratitude-gratitude when adding the number and improve quality.
