Abstract
This study analyzes the behavioral patterns and user needs of children in Teluk Grajakan Park, located in Pandanwangi Subdistrict, Malang City. Urban Green Open Spaces (RTH) play an essential role in providing areas for social interaction, physical activity, and ecological support; therefore, their effectiveness must be assessed based on actual user behavior. The research employed observation, documentation, and analytical approaches using behaviour setting and behaviour mapping to identify the relationship between activities, space, and time. The findings indicate that children's visitation increases in the late afternoon and on weekends, particularly in the central zone of the park, which is widely used for ball games, cycling, and other physical activities. The front zone is predominantly used for passive activities such as sitting and snacking, while the rear zone supports movement-related activities such as cycling and circulating around the park. Need analysis based on Maslow's hierarchy reveals that aspects of physical comfort, safety, and social needs are not yet fully met, especially with regard to shaded facilities, pavement conditions, circulation safety, and the availability of lighting. These findings lead to management recommendations aimed at improving comfort, safety, and the overall suitability of children's play spaces, ensuring that the utilization of Teluk Grajakan Park becomes more optimal and better supports children's developmental activities. Keywords: Behaviour Mapping, Behaviour Setting, Children's Needs, Urban Green Space
