Abstract: 
Sustainable development, including efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen communities' ability to recover back from natural disasters, should inform any increase in urban green space. This study used a survey and interview design based on the Slovin technique and the Likert scale to collect data from members of the impacted community and district, regency, provincial, village, community, traditional, women's, and youth leaders. When asked to rate a sustainable development SDUGS framework, respondents gave 35.25% and 34.29%, respectively, to environmental and social indicators. The next two groups of variables, economic and institutional, came in at 23.84% and 6.62%. Therefore, the respondents endorse the program for the sustainable development of the urban green space model in Sorong City, Southwest Papua Province, with a satisfactory category in the environmental, social, and economic perceptive and a category lacking in institutions whose performance needs to be improved, all in an effort to be in line with the transformation of the Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience by 2050.
