This article questions how the making of public open space have been changing in Tokyo. It identifies specificities of urban fabric and open spaces in Edo, the former Tokyo. It questions how the making of public open space was influenced by Western style and approach in Meiji period (1868-1912). And, how in 1990s Privately Owned Public Spaces (pops) changed public open space design in its scale, quantities and qualities. Specifically, the paper looks at: (a) gathering spaces in Tokyo traditional urban fabric; (b) how first parks were inspired by Western landscape design; (c) when plazas started to be designed in Tokyo; (d) Roppongi Hills as a reference project of one of the first mix-use facilities re-development plan in Tokyo with highly designed pops.

Abstract: Open space is one of a supporting lives the city. Its presence has an important role for the people living surrounding it. Along with development process, the quality and quantity of  open space can be degraded especially when its located  in kampong. It happens because of an uncontrollable spatial layout. Yogyakarta is a city that also has a kampong, one of them is kampong Bangunrejo which crossed by Winongo River. The character and local potentials of this riverbank kampong makes the government of Yogyakarta and Forum Komunikasi Winongo Asri (FKWA) to plan a open space revitalization. It aims to improve the image a kampong through open space that located on riverbank. The aim of this research is to get a spatial layout of open spaces in kampong Bangunrejo. This spatial layout is expected to give an idea of how the open space works. The results are expected to guide open space design recommendations, corresponds to its performance. The analysis process utilised a quantitative technique using Depthmap program. By using this method, which focused on spatial layout of open spaces, would strengthen its qualitative analysis to be more real. Public open spaces were selected to represents different typologies of open space, Bangunrejo. The result of the discussion found that in general there is a relationship between the active space used as a public open space and a performance space. Performance space is influenced by aspects of connectivity (global and local integration), visual quality (visual integration), and movement patterns of people. Moreover, in a system of kampong, diversity of open space variations also affect the performance of the space.Keyword: spatial layout, public open space, space performanceAbstrak: Ruang terbuka merupakan salah satu pendukung kehidupan dalam kawasan. Keberadaan ruang terbuka memiliki peran dan fungsi penting bagi masyarakat di sekitarnya. Seiring dengan perkembangan kota, kualitas dan kuantitas ruang terbuka dapat  menurun, khususnya pada kawasan kampung kota. Hal ini terjadi karena pola tata ruang yang tidak terkontrol. Di Yogyakarta juga terdapat kawasan kampung kota salah satunya kampung Bangunrejo yang dilalui oleh Sungai Winongo. Karakter kampung kota dan potensi lokal yang dimiliki kampung Bangunrejo membuat pemerintah kota Yogyakarta bersama Forum Komunikasi Winongo Asri (FKWA) melakukan revitalisasi ruang terbuka tepian sungai. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan citra sebuah kampung kota melalui ruang terbuka tepian sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pola tata ruang terbuka di kampung Bangunrejo yang dapat memberi gambaran bagaimana ruang terbuka tersebut bekerja. Hasilnya diharapkan dapat menjadi arahan rekomendasi desain ruang terbuka yang sesuai. Proses analisis dibantu dengan teknik kuantitatif menggunakan program Depthmap. Dengan metode deskriptif kuantitatif yang memfokuskan pada pola tata ruang terbuka akan memperkuat analisis kualitatif secara lebih nyata. Dalam proses analisis dipilih beberapa ruang terbuka publik yang dapat mewakili tipologi yang berbeda pada lokus terpilih di kampung Bangunrejo. Hasil pembahasan, secara umum menjelaskan bahwa ada hubungan antara ruang yang aktif dimanfaatkan sebagai ruang terbuka publik dengan kinerja ruang. Kinerja ruang tersebut dipengaruhi oleh aspek konektivitas (integrasiglobal danlokal), kualitas visual (integrasi visual), dan pola pergerakan. Selain itu, dalam sebuah sistem ruang kampung variasi keragaman bentuk ruang terbuka mempengaruhi kinerja ruang tersebut.Kata kunci: pola tata ruang, ruang terbuka publik, kinerja ruang

The Relationship

This paper examines the relationship between urban public space and everyday social life, as well as the forms of social interaction as patterns of use of public spaces in collective housing neighbourhoods. Urbanity issues are manifested both at social level by population alienation from the social surroundings, by the lack of joint activities and stay in the neighbourhood public open areas, as well as at physical level, by the lack of the area vitality and security, and neglect. The analysis of the neighborhood spatial form determinants is represented by the universally applicable typology based on spatial and sociological theories about the relationship of urban space and social processes, applicable to areas that generate patterns of people encounters and gatherings. Understanding the relation between human behaviors through the capacity of neighborhood open space contributes to the quality of the open spaces design and especially to enhancing the vitality of the city public spaces. The purpose of this paper is to obtain scientifically based approach to the public space design in a view of its use that may be beneficial to urban planners in the process of urban space regeneration.

Public Open Spaces

Public open spaces services have been shown to be profoundly affected by rapid urbanization and environmental changes, and in turn, they have influenced socio-cultural relationships and human well-being. However, the impact of these changes on public open space services (POSS) remains unexplored, particularly in the Saudi Arabian context. This study examines the socio-cultural influence of POSS on the King Abdulaziz University campus, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and the impact of these services on well-being. A field survey and questionnaire were used to collect data. Non-parametric tests (Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests) were used to find significant differences in the importance of POSS as perceived by stakeholders based on socio-demographic attributes. Factor analysis was performed for 14 POSS to identify those that are most important. The study showed that (i) university stakeholders are closely linked to services provided by public open spaces (POS) and dependent on POSS, (ii) there were significant differences in the perceived importance of POSS according to gender, age, and social groups, and (iii) 70 to 90% of stakeholders reported POSS as having a positive impact on well-being. Thus, the findings will help design and plan POSS to meet the needs of society and promote well-being.

Main Motive

The presence of subcultures in urban society is as a result of the heterogeneity of culture. One of subculture that presence in Bandung city is a motorcycle club which can be found in almost every corner of the Bandung city, especially in public spaces. This study was conducted to identify the phenomenon of the process of motorcycle club subculture occupy space in public open space under flyover in Bandung city. Data was collected by observation and interview members of the subculture as a subject of the research. The result showed that the main motive for using public open space under flyover is the desire for self-existence that cannot be accommodated in public space that already exists. Utilization of the space under flyover by the motorcycle club gives new meaning to the space that originally did not have a function in urban spatial. However they also do legitimacy of power over space by said that “the space is theirs”. Therefore architects and planners should consider subculture as a part of the society that have the same right to access public open space and do their activities in Bandung City.

Abstract Taman Gajah Mada is an outdoor recreation landscape located on Jalan Gajah Mada Medan, North Sumatra. Residents around Medan use this landscape to carry out sports activities. Usually, Taman Gajah Mada is visited by visitors in the morning and evening. Visitors who come in the morning usually come to just exercise. Meanwhile, visitors who come in the afternoon typically sit around enjoying the afternoon atmosphere in this beautiful and clean garden. This study was qualitative, and the ethnography method was applied to collect and analyze the data. The analysis also deliberated the unity of multidiscipline landscape architects and landscape anthropology to explain the use of outdoor recreation in Taman Gajah Mada. This literature becomes a reference for research on the concept of public open space at Taman Gajah Mada to maintain cultural originality in the use of roars in the landscape. This study indicates three public open spaces, namely the buffer zone, transition zone, andcore zone. These three public open spaces can be grouped into two based on their function and purpose: general and special public open spaces. The general public open spaces such as transition zoneand core zonecan be utilized and used by the entire community, while special ones such as the Buffer Zone are buffer areas.

With a population of close to 13 million, and an annual growth rate of 2.86 percent, Rwanda plans to position itself as a climate resilient, low carbon, low unemployment, reduced poverty country, with a strong services sector by 2050. Its projected increase in its urbanization rate from a current value of 18.4 percent to 35 percent by 2024 is driven by strong political will, significant investments in infrastructure, service provision, and human capital development. Rwanda’s secondary cities, identified as economic nodes of growth, are currently undergoing revision of their masterplans in consideration of climate change realities and the pressure on infrastructure and services due to rapid urbanization. Currently, cities in Rwanda do not yet have a system of public open spaces. Where available, such spaces are usually hardly accessible and need upgrading. To address this, the Ministry of Infrastructure, Rwanda Housing Authority, City of Kigali and six secondary cities have committed to deliver on public open space related activities and targets under the yearly performance contract ‘Imihigo’. The outcomes of their commitments support the climate-responsive revision of masterplans of the City of Kigali and six secondary cities. This paper presents public open space initiatives in Kigali and the results of the technical assessment of public open spaces and participatory planning and design workshop in Nyagatare, secondary city in Rwanda’s. It also discusses ongoing policy changes and initiatives that aim to promote public open spaces as crucial for urban public health.

With one of the highest population densities in the world, Hong Kong suffers from a lack of public open space. Despite this situation, open spaces provided by government authorities or private developers often do not meet residents’ needs or include residents in the planning and design process. To explore one way that this issue is being addressed, this chapter describes an ongoing placemaking project within Hong Kong’s interstitial network of laneways (里) and alleys (巷). The key historical, sociocultural, and physical features, opportunities, and constraints of these in-between spaces are discussed. This is followed by an in-depth exploration of the case study Magic Lanes, a pilot project that aims to provide more inclusive public open spaces through placemaking and community co-creation.
