The change of land utilization from vegetation to urban areas affects the ecological balance of city environment, especially oxygen needs and the surrounding climate. This present study aims at determining the coverage area of green open space required in Tasikmalaya city, Indonesia, based on the oxygen needs Gerakis formula is employed to calculate the needs of oxygen for human, vehicles, and livestock. The result showed that the green open space in Tasikmalaya city was 342.27 Ha. It is smaller than the required green open space necessary to increase the participation oh the community and business practitioners as the strategy to develop the green open space of the area.
