Kampung Braga is an example of a village located in the center of Bandung, with a low quality of life with a high population density. Braga area during the Dutch rule in 1910-1940 Braga became the economic center of the Dutch East Indies and has a high cultural and historical heritage. The Braga area has experienced a high economic growth and this area has grown into an increasingly dense village, where land ownership is divided between individuals, the government, and developers and some have been converted into public facilities as a result of the revitalization of the Braga area. The Bandung City Government has made the Braga area a tourism village in an effort to attract more tourists. According to the Head of the Bandung City Culture and Tourism Office, Kenny Dewi Kaniasari, will make a pilot area that is worth visiting in terms of facilities, attractions, culture and accessibility. Kampung Braga is planned to be a community-based creative tourism village that can be a prototype for other villages in Bandung. The purpose of this design is to design potential spaces on narrow land to be applied as green open spaces that are ecologically, culturally, historically, educationally and recreationally beneficial in the context of the tourist village of Braga. Therefore, an approach with environmental thermal comfort will be used to understand the existing climatic conditions in densely populated areas, examine challenges and potentials, and simulate the selection of plant species that are able to provide thermal comfort that can reduce the temperature in the area. From the data obtained based on physical analysis and simulations, the researchers found that the design of potential spaces for green spaces as well as proper selection and arrangement of vegetation can reduce the temperature at the planned site. Based on the simulation of plant species selection, it was found that the use of wide-titled vegetation and columnar vegetation had a good contribution in reducing the temperature at a site that was fairly dense and not too large. The arrangement of columnar vegetation is very effective for planting on the west and east sides and broad-titled vegetation is dominant in reducing the temperature evenly in the center of the site. Based on the design of Green Open Space in the Braga tourist village area, it can increase the kuantity of Green Open Space of 8860 m2, and an average temperature decrease of 2.06 C.
