Information on soil macroarthropods in Kendari City has not been reported so far, even though soil macroarthropods play an important role in supporting the lives of other organisms and in recent years have decreased in number globally. This study aims to identify soil macroarthropod communities and calculate the diversity of soil macroarthropods located in green open spaces in Kendari City. The green open spaces include Baruga forest, Mayor’s park, and Nanga-nanga botanical garden. The data obtained were integrated to calculate the Shannon-Wiener index and Simpson index. Individuals of each taxa were evaluated with Menhinick index and Pielou index. The similarity of soil macroarthropod groups was measured using the similarity index and the ratio of diversity index values at each location will be tested using Duncan's test with a p value of 0.05. The soil macroarthropod community found in green open space was 3505 individuals consisting of 4 Classes, 12 Orders, 27 Families, and 72 Genus. The number of genus in three consecutive research locations, namely Nanga-nanga botanical garden with 26 genus, Baruga forest with 25 genus, and Mayor’s park with 21 genus. Baruga forest had the highest species diversity of soil macroarthropods compared to other locations. The highest abundance of soil macroarthropods was shown by Family Formicidae (Ants), followed by Isoptera (Termites), Aranae (Spiders), and the lowest were Dermaptera (Cocopet), Scolopendromorpha (Centipedes), and Isopoda (Dead woodlice).
