## Abstract
Abstract Urban ecology has become a more popular concern as the awareness for mutual sharing between humans and other ecosystem members is increasing. This study aimed at assessing the value of urban farms in the city of Makassar, a fast-developing Indonesian city which according to its city council classification covered significant area of the city. The research employed Rapid Biodiversity Assessment (RBA) to assess quality of urban farms. The method assessed two important aspects of spaces in terms of ecology i.e. vegetation structures and vascular plants. Results showed the biodiversity of urban farms in Makassar compared to other typologies was high. Urban farms in Makassar in general have potential for ecological spots because despite they are more cultural than natural, their high plant biodiversity score, dominance of trees and less built areas make them always available for improvement to become more ecological spots.
