Abstract

Open sports spaces play an important role in encouraging community participation in physical activity and improving public health in urban areas. The availability of accessible and well-managed public sports facilities can support the development of active lifestyles and enhance community satisfaction with public services. However, the effectiveness of these spaces depends on how far they are utilized by the community and how satisfied users are with the available facilities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of community participation and satisfaction toward open sports spaces in Makassar City. This research employed a descriptive research design using a survey analysis approach. The population consisted of visitors who utilized open sports spaces in CPI (Center Point of Indonesia), Pakui Sayang Park, GOR Sudiang, and Macan Park. The sample included 50 respondents, selected using a random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations, and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis at a significance level of 95% (α = 0.05). The results showed that the level of community participation in open sports spaces in Makassar generally fell into the satisfied category. Participation levels were recorded as 34% at CPI, 42% at Pakui Sayang Park, and 34% at GOR Sudiang, while participation at Macan Park was categorized as less satisfied with 32%. Meanwhile, the level of community satisfaction also generally fell within the satisfied category. Satisfaction levels were 38% at CPI, 36% at Pakui Sayang Park, and 34% at GOR Sudiang, while Macan Park showed a lower satisfaction level of 36% in the less satisfied category. In conclusion, open sports spaces in Makassar have generally supported community participation and satisfaction in engaging in physical activities. However, improvements in facility quality and management are needed, particularly in locations with lower satisfaction levels, to enhance public utilization and community well-being.
