This research explores the transformation of industrial space in the city of Batam through the integration of green infrastructure within a territorially based spatial planning framework. The study addresses environmental degradation and spatial inefficiencies in conventional manufacturing zones by proposing a sustainable configuration grounded in theories of spatial transformation, industrial ecology, and ecological design. PT Heng Guan, a coconut-processing industry, serves as the primary case study. It is analyzed using a qualitative approach that combines spatial analysis, material performance audits, and observations of spatial dynamics. The research highlights the utilization of coconut waste—such as husk, fiber, and shell—as alternative building materials that support energy efficiency and microclimate regulation. The findings demonstrate improvements in thermal comfort, spatial circulation efficiency, waste-to-resource conversion aligned with the 3R principles, and strengthened territorial control within production areas. Spatial hierarchy, user-space interaction, and behavioral compliance with zoning regulations emerge as key factors in achieving sustainability. This study offers a contextual and replicable model for transforming tropical industrial space, positioning green infrastructure not merely as a technical solution but as an embedded spatial strategy for ecological resilience and urban-industrial regeneration. The findings are especially relevant to policymakers seeking to integrate nature-based solutions and participatory planning into Indonesia’s regional development agenda.
