This research focuses on the treatment of public open spaces (POS) in multifamily housing areas in post-socialist Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. The aim is to evaluate their quality and sustainability and to identify all important impact factors influencing their properties. A case study was conducted on a representative sample of four multi-family housing sites in Nis, Serbia. Determining the interconnection between urban planning parameters and the realized quality of POS is one of the primary objectives that could lead to forming recommendations for future multi-family housing development, including more usable and sustainable POS in the current social and economic context. The models for improvement of POS quality and sustainability are defined as a research result.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between sociodemographic characteristics of census tracts and the presence/quality of public open spaces and physical activity facilities. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 643 census tracts in Florianópolis, Brazil, the presence and quality of public open spaces and physical activity facilities were objectively analyzed and the data by census tracts using Geographic Information Systems was treated. Outcomes were analyzed considering the census tracts as having: ≥ 1 public open spaces; ≥ 1 public open spaces with high quality; ≥ 2 physical activity facilities and high-quality physical activity facilities. Sociodemographic characteristics were the independent variables. Logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS: Census tracts with a medium-income (OR = 1.8; 95%CI 1.1–3.0) and high-income (OR = 2.4; 95%CI 1.4–4.0), in those with medium (OR = 1.7; 95%CI 1.0–2.7) and high residential density (OR = 2.0; 95%CI 1,2–3.3), and with higher proportions of older adults (OR = 3.3; 95%CI 1.9–5.7) had a higher proportion of public open spaces. Census tracts with higher proportions of children/adolescents (OR = 0.3; 95%CI 0.2–0.6) and non-white residents (OR= 0.6; 95%CI 0.3–0.9) were less likely to contain public open spaces. The tracts with medium (OR = 4.0; 95%CI 1.4–11.3) and high-income (OR = 3.6; 95%CI 1.2–10.2) were more likely to contain public open spaces with ≥ 2 structures for physical activity, compared with those with low-income. We observed the inverse in sectors with a high proportion of non-white residents (OR = 0.3; 95%CI 0.1–0.9). CONCLUSIONS: Census tracts with higher proportions of children or adolescents, non-white individuals and those in the low-income strata had lower odds of containing public open spaces and physical activity facilities.

Blora District Square is one of the public open spaces in the center of Blora Regency, which has an important role as a provider of socio-cultural space to accommodate various kinds of community activities. To determine the effect of providing space on visitor behavior, it is necessary to conduct research on community behavior in Blora District Square. This study aims to identify community behavior in using Blora District Square as a public open space. The analysis in this study consisted of visitor characteristics, activity characteristics, movement patterns, and behavior analysis. The method used in this study is descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods with descriptive statistical and Behavior Setting analysis techniques. Behavior Setting analysis is used to determine the movement pattern with place-centered mapping and person-centered mapping techniques. The subject of this study is the user of Blora Regency square. The sampling technique used is Probability Sampling. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations related to the improvement of the quality of space in Blora Regency square in order to form better behavior patterns.

Abstract: Public open spaces are spaces that can be accessed for free and can accommodate a variety of peoples and activities. Therefore, both if in each residential area or at a certain radius there is at least one public open space, no exception in urban villages with a characteristic population density that has become the root of settlement culture in Indonesia. This research then took a case study in one of the villages in the city of Yogyakarta, namely Kampung Gampingan, which despite entering into a slum arrangement according to Mayor Decree Number 216 Year 2016, but still has one existing public open space that still exists utilized by residents around every day, both by children until adults. Related to these findings, this study was conducted as a basic study whose results can be used as a foundation for the arrangement of slums in the future. In its design, public open space must also pay attention to the times and various aspects and needs for the convenience of its users. Although comfort is very difficult to define, at least comfort can be assessed through people's preferences through the responsiveness of each individual. For this reason, through a qualitative-exploratory method using a questionnaire filled out by users of public open spaces in Kampung Gampingan, this study aims to find citizens' preferences for aspects of the comfort of public open spaces based on comfort theory; what matters that must be prioritized or must be avoided in the design for the creation of the convenience of citizens. From this study it was found that in order to achieve the comfort of a public open space, aspects of governance needed include cleanliness, safety, circulation, shape / dimension, noise, lighting, smell, natural/ climate power, and supporting facilities such as the free internet access, parks, CCTV, drink water, trash cans, streetlights, children's games, and furniture.

Oleh karenanya, baik apabila dalam setiap wilayah permukiman warga atau pada radius tertentu terdapat minimal satu buah ruang terbuka publik, tidak terkecuali di kampung kota dengan ciri khas kepadatan penduduknya yang sudah menjadi akar budaya permukiman di Indonesia. Penelitian ini kemudian mengambil studi kasus di salah satu kampung di Kota Yogyakarta yakni Kampung Gampingan, yang meskipun masuk ke dalam penataan kawasan kumuh menurut Surat Keputusan Walikota Nomor 216 Tahun 2016, namun masih memiliki satu buah ruang terbuka publik eksisting yang masih eksis dimanfaatkan warga sekitar setiap harinya, baik oleh anak-anak hingga orang dewasa.Terkait temuan tersebut, maka dilakukan penelitian ini sebagai kajian dasar yang hasilnya dapat digunakan untuk landasan penataan kampung kumuh di masa depan.Dalam perancangannya, ruang terbuka publik juga harus memperhatikan perkembangan zaman serta berbagai aspek maupun kebutuhan demi kenyamanan penggunanya. Meskipun kenyamanan sangat sulit didefinisikan, setidaknya kenyamanan dapat dinilai melalui preferensi warga lewat penilaian responsif setiap individunya. Untuk itu, melalui metode kualitatif-eksploratif dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang diisi oleh pengguna ruang terbuka publik di Kampung Gampingan, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan preferensi warga terhadap aspek kenyamanan ruang terbuka publik yang didasarkan pada teori kenyamanan; hal-hal apa saja yang harus diutamakan maupun harus dihindarkan dalam desain perancangan demi terciptanya kenyamanan warga. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa ternyata untuk mencapai kenyamanan suatu ruang terbuka publik, diperlukan aspek-aspek penataan yang meliputi kebersihan, keamanan, sirkulasi, bentuk/dimensi, kebisingan, penerangan, aroma, daya alam/iklim, dan fasilitas penunjang seperti adanya internet gratis, taman, CCTV, air siap minum, tempat sampah, lampu jalan, permainan anak, serta furnitur.Kata Kunci: Kenyamanan, Ruang Terbuka Publik, Warga, Kampung Gampingan, Kota Yogyakarta
