Bogor, 21-22 October 2015 597 a green expanse in the city that can improve and maintain the micro-climate, increase the aesthetic value and supply the water catchment areas, and create balance and harmony of the physical environment of the city. An ideal urban forest development according to the zoning function needs to adapt the biophysical conditions. Rushayati, et al. 2010 stated that the zoning of urban forests can be prepared based on the distribution of air pollutants, land cover types, industrial areas, residential areas, the number of people and the transportation data and the measurement of microclimate. There are technical aspects, species of plants, ecological aspects, aspects of human relationships harmony with the natural environment of the city, as well as economic conditions that relate to the costs, benefits, and local socio-cultural conditions. The purpose of this study was to obtain data and information regarding the zoning function of urban forest in the low laying coastal city and the landlocked city . 2. RESEARCH METHOD 2.1 Data Primary data were collected by direct observation of the biophysical town forest, land use patterns, conditions and characteristics of the facilities and infrastructure as well as semi- structured interview.
