The life of Jakarta’s people who are very dynamic in their routine sometimes makes them forget the importance of socializing and resting for a while. The need for a third place, in addition to home and workplace, could be a solution to provide space that is able to make people forget their main activities and relieve fatigue from their routine in order to have a better quality of life. Tebet as one of the densely populated residential areas in Jakarta certainly needs this third place so that its people can have a better quality of life. The existence of many kinds of public transportation in Tebet such as electric trains, Transjakarta buses and LRT (which are still in the development stage) makes the flow of the movement of people who are the users become very dynamic. The space between the house and the transportation points is needed as a third place that becomes a transit point and can accommodate activities that can make them comfortable after / before their routine. In addition, Tebet Park as the largest form of public space in the Tebet area needs to be encouraged to better accommodate the activities of its people. From the various potentials and problems, project designed close to Taman Tebet that able to accommodate the activities of the Tebet community as a gate between home and work place with programs such as shops, restaurants, sports facilities, parking facilities and a place to gather and relax to accommodate their activities and needs. AbstrakKehidupan masyarakat Jakarta yang sangat dinamis dalam rutinitasnya kadang membuat mereka lupa akan pentingnya bersosialisasi dan beristirahat sejenak. Kebutuhan akan ruang ketiga, selain rumah dan tempat kerja, dapat menjadi solusi untuk memberikan ruang yang mampu membuat masyarakat melupakan kegiatan dan melepas penat dari rutinitasnya agar memiliki kualitas hidup yang lebih baik. Kawasan Tebet sebagai salah satu kawasan permukiman yang padat di Jakarta tentu membutuhkan ruang ketiga ini agar masyarakatnya dapat memiliki kualitas hidup yang lebih baik. Keberadaan transportasi publik yang beragam di kawasan ini seperti kereta listrik, bus Transjakarta serta LRT yang masih dalam tahap pembangunan membuat alur pergerakan masyarakat yang menjadi pengguna menjadi sangat dinamis. Ruang antara rumah dan titik-titik transportasi tersebut diperlukan sebagai ruang ketiga yang menjadi titik transit dan mampu mewadahi aktivitas yang bisa membuat mereka nyaman setelah/sebelum beraktivitas. Selain itu, Taman Tebet sebagai bentuk ruang publik terbesar yang ada di kawasan Tebet perlu didorong untuk lebih mewadahi aktivitas masyarakatnya dengan lebih baik. Dari beragam potensi dan masalah tersebut, dirancanglah proyek yang berada dekat dengan Taman Tebet dan mampu mengakomodasi aktivitas masyarakat Tebet sebagai gerbang di antara tempat tinggal dan tempat kerja dengan program seperti pertokoan, tempat makan, sarana olahraga, fasilitas parkir dan tempat berkumpul dan bersantai untuk mewadahi aktivitas dan kebutuhan mereka.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of some worrying present tendencies of urban sprawl in the large, important economic centers of Romania. It focuses on the tendency of building new residential apartments on the outskirts of the big cities. Most of these developments target young people that belong to a still-developing middle class. Big problems emerge, however, when real estate investors take advantage of the buyers’ lack of experience and of the authorities’ poor management, offering small, badly-built apartments in new residential areas which are designed around only one function: housing. The absence of complementary functions that could support the development of communities gravely impairs the inhabitants’ quality of life. At the local level, I was able to identify two main problems: the absence of the necessary infrastructure to support such a massive increase in population, and the absence of local amenities. On a larger scale, the consequences are significant as well: chronic traffic jams due to the large number of people who commute to Bucharest daily, for work. Even though at first Popeşti-Leordeni (a satellite-town of Romania’s capital) was considered a good housing option, the people living there are rapidly becoming highly unsatisfied with their quality of life. In their opinion, the biggest problems of this urban area are the absence of green spaces, of leisure services, of parking options, and of means of public transportation. To these complaints, the inhabitants add dissatisfaction with the general problems caused by the endless building sites, which also represent one of the main causes for the lack of cleanliness, bad roads, noise and pollution plaguing the area. This paper, based both on the analysis of statistical data and on empirical research, aims to show that Popeşti-Leordeni, especially the New Popeşti neighborhood, is an example of bad housing caused by corruption, investors’ greed, bad management on the part of the authorities, and the young buyers’ inexperience. Keywords: quality of life; urban sprawl; satellite-town; mono-functionality; community.

Transit stations are generally well known as nodes of spaces where percentage of people walking are relatively high. The issue is do more planning is actually given to create walkability. Creating walking led transit stations involves planning of walking distance, providing facilities like pathways, toilets, seating and lighting. On the other hand, creating walking led transit station for women uncover a new epitome. Walking becomes one of the most important forms of mobility for women in developing countries nowadays. Encouraging women to use public transportation is not just about another effort to promote the use of public transportation but also another great endeavour to reduce numbers of traffic on the road. This also means, creating an effort to control accidents rate, reducing carbon emission, improving health and eventually, developing the quality of life. Hence, in this paper, we sought first to find out the factors that motivate women to walk at transit stations in Malaysia. A questionnaire survey with 562 female user of Light Railway Transit (LRT) was conducted at LRT stations along Kelana Jaya Line. Both built and non-built environment characteristics, particularly distance, safety and facilities were found as factors that are consistently associated with women walkability. With these findings, the paper highlights the criteria  which are needed to create and make betterment of transit stations not just for women but also for walkability in general.

Abstract The present research aims to propose a model for the recovery of residual public spaces to improve the quality of life of the district of San Borja’s inhabitants. San Borja is in the process of densification and requires a more significant number of public spaces that offer, in addition to vegetation, public places for active and passive recreation, such as spaces for sports and games, walking pets, and relaxation. These needs have increased due to the confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, it was noted that the median strip, or central reservation of the avenue, can be recovered for people to use. Therefore, a four-phase study was carried out that included reviewing the literature and observing two cases. In conclusion, a model was proposed to recover the public space of the median strips of San Borja Norte Avenue and San Borja Sur Avenue to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of San Borja, which can be replicated in other avenues with residual spaces with similar characteristics.

Chapter 4 discusses Mayor Frank Jordan’s (1992–1995) revanchist Matrix Quality of Life Program, which sought to enforce a broken-windows policing system in San Francisco. The impact of the policy was felt largely by the visible homeless in downtown San Francisco, who were regularly harassed and arrested by the police and forced out of the city. Because quality-of-life policing desires to sanitize the public space of disruptive and asocial behaviour, the public meals of Food Not Bombs near City Hall resisted the city’s attempt to criminalize homelessness. This chapter argues that the city attempted to construct the homeless as anti-citizens and exclude them from the political and physical spaces of the city.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the association between the decline in the mobility of community dwelling elderly persons in São Paulo, Brazil and their capacity to use public transportation, and its impact on their quality of life and social participation. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 32 community dwelling elderly persons, of both genders (59% female), with an average age of 75.5 years (±9.2). The participants were evaluated by functional mobility, risk of falls, fear of falls and independence in activities of daily living. In addition, the perception of the elderly persons of their mobility on public transport and its impact on their social participation was evaluated. The elderly persons were divided into two groups: with mobility impairment and without mobility impairment. The groups were compared using the Fisher's Exact, Chi-Squared and Mann-Whitney tests, and the unpaired Student's t-test. An alpha level of 0.05 was adopted as a level of statistical significance. Result: Elderly persons with greater mobility impairment exhibited greater difficulty accessing public transport and a greater number of falls during their use of the same. Elderly persons who reported difficulty accessing public transport suffered greater impact on their social participation and quality of life. Conclusion: Elderly persons with greater mobility impairment had a greater number of complaints related to public transport. Additionally, they suffered a greater impact on their social participation, characterized by limitations in their capacity for independent movement around the city, limiting their social activities.
