The paper analyzes the contemporary concept of public space. It focuses the attention on the transformation of the traditional concept of public space into the idea of an alternative public space (i.e. collective space, open space, hybrid space, etc.). The methodology adopted for research purposes is mainly empirical. The case study analyzes the MAXXI museum in Rome, that shows a spontaneous birth of a (un) expected form of public space in the museum pole. This phenomenon expresses a clear need of an alternative, safe, cultural, innovative, contemporary, public space.

G-level open space is an effective way to create more open space for public congregation and community life in densely populated cities like Chong Qing, and compact neighborhoods like NFHY. One prototype for modern G-level open space of NFHY was the traditional housing in southeast China; the other was the worldwide modern architectural movement, especially Le Corbusie’s work. Compared to other kinds of open space, G-level open space is distinctive in its dualism; it has the qualities of both interior space and public space. Findings in NFHY show that, with it peculiar space quality, G-level open space integrated private life and public life, making the space more attractive to the residents, especially seniors and children. In order to encourage the developers to incorporate more of this kind of open space in their projects, the government needs to make some compromise on building regulations.

The Relationship

One of the most insoluble problems confronted by urban areas in developing countries is the shortage of open space; street space allows daily human activities, promotes social interaction, and is seen as a precondition for the sustainable development of the community. Although some seemingly public space is also built up in Vietnam, street space is often where resident’s go to perform activities. This research aims at studying behaviors of users in old street space and the interaction with existing physical settings; as an input to future renovation and the development of street space in a manner that respects the cultural and social context of the Vietnamese people. User’s behaviors in streets and physical characteristics of space were collected and processed in accordance with theories of behavior setting and proxemics using some methods including place-centered behavioral mapping (PcBM) and visual encounter surveys (VES). The analysis showed that three types of behavior, including (1) Type A where various frequent activities occurred, (2) Type B which discouraged most human activities, and (3) Type C where neither frequent nor infrequent behaviors can represent environmental behavior patterns in the old street spaces of Vietnam and for each of these types of patterns improvements have been proposed by organizing street and pavements layouts detailed in this paper. The proposed improvements are based on the relationship between human behaviors and properties of the street space to assist designers, administers, and authorities in renovating and developing better and more sustainable street space.

A number of socio-psychological factors cause accessibility problems of public open spaces such as parks and playground. However, for ensuring a healthy urban life, some open spaces are essential as taking breath to give a child some fresh air, a little scope of giving the chance of playing. A public open space becomes successful only when it is accessible to each and every person of society. Accessibility is now not only the concept based on the close proximity but also the most important concern for people to make any open space successful with its purpose. Class dynamics and public versus place dichotomy are creating all the possible changes of accessibility condition at any public space. Since this study tries to focus on public accessibility rather than place accessibility, all factors like social, economic, cultural and environmental factors for creating inaccessibility and prohibiting people from using the open space have been identified and analyzed in detail. Factors like social, economic, cultural and environmental factors are responsible for deciding a person’s decision to use an open space. This research is an attempt to find out all the prohibiting factors that influence a person to go a community open space.

Abstract The purpose of the study is to determine the condition of Taman Nostalgia in terms of vitality (the quality of function, physic (environment), and meaning). The study implements descriptive approach, by which the study presents and describes the condition of Taman Nostalgia based on the phenomenon found in the field. The data are collected through documentation, observation, and interviews and are analyzed using descriptive approach and Project for Public Space. The results showed that the condition of Taman Nostalgia in terms of vitality has decreased due to several causes, such as the direct connection between relaxing area and garden area, the location and capacity of the plaza which is limited and not functional, direct connection between playground and plant area, the absence of space marker and the division of sub space in the parking area, the placement of jogging track separated and not connected to the centre of park activity, unattractive culinary area and its forming activities, limited space of sports centre, and unavailability of supporting facilities. Likewise, seen from the aspects of forming quality of the area, the park showed the absence of management concerning the aspect of needs (comfort, relaxation, passive/active engagement, and discovery), user rights (access and ease of achievement, freedom of action, claim, and change), and meaning (legibility, relevance between cultural norms and the user, individual connection, group connection, connection to larger society, biological connection, and connection to other world).

Since the end of the 1980s Indonesia’s property business has been growing rapidly, especially in Jakarta. The growth has transformed green open space gradually to commercial uses. Along with that, there has also been a social shift in Jakarta and its satellite cities. Citizen maximizes their earnings from working at the office and trading in order to maintain (and upgrade) their welfare. As a result, their leisure time (including enjoying the park) worn off. Taman Spot Budaya Dukuh Atas (TDA) has been a Jakarta provincial government’s solution to such issues, i.e decreasing number of parks and open spaces, and the limited time available to enjoy them. A review in user appreciation, adaptation to current and upcoming trends, and its compatibility as public space and third space will be a benchmark for modern public space development. This study applies a qualitative research approach with a case study method. TDA proves to be one of the people’s option to hang out at public space, especially in a crowded city district. TDA also fulfilled public space, third space, and Jakarta government’s goals. But better maintenance and improvement are needed to ensure its sustainability. The concept of public space that can be enjoyed in a short time are expected to be replicated to several other crowd points in Jakarta and other major cities in the future. Keywords: Dukuh Atas; green open space; user appreciation; modern public space AbstrakSejak akhir 1980-an bisnis properti berkembang pesat di Indonesia, khususnya di Jakarta. Perkembangan ini mengkonversi lahan-lahan terbuka hijau menjadi lahan dengan fungsi komersil. Seiring perkembangan tersebut, terjadi pula pergeseran sosial di Jakarta dan di kota-kota penyangganya. Masyarakat memaksimalkan perolehannya dari bekerja di kantor atau berdagang demi menjaga (dan meningkatkan) kesejahteraannya. Akibatnya, waktu luang untuk rekreasi (termasuk menikmati taman) menjadi berkurang. Taman Spot Budaya Dukuh Atas (TDA) adalah salah satu solusi Pemda DKI Jakarta dalam memberikan fasilitas ruang terbuka, sekaligus melayani kategori warga kota tersebut. Peninjauan apresiasi pengguna, adaptasi dengan kecenderungan yang ada, dan kesesuaiannya sebagai ruang publik serta ruang ketiga menjadi tolok ukur bagi alternatif pengembangan ruang publik modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif, dengan metode studi kasus. TDA dapat menjadi pilihan masyarakat untuk menikmati ruang publik, khususnya di pusat kota. TDA sendiri sudah memenuhi kriteria sebagai ruang publik dan ruang ketiga, serta sudah sesuai dengan tujuan awal Pemda DKI. Namun diperlukan pemeliharaan dan pengembangan dari pengelola taman yang lebih baik, agar ruang publik dapat berkelanjutan. Konsep penyediaan ruang publik yang dapat dinikmati secara singkat ini diharapkan dapat direplikasi di beberapa titik keramaian di Jakarta dan kota besar lainnya ke depan.
