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.

Public space is important to a city’s economic and social quality. Downtown Toronto is not known for its public spaces but Melbourne is widely recognized for recently revitalizing its city centre with improved public spaces. A case study of Melbourne investigates its comparability to Toronto as well as the details of its "renaissance." It is concluded that Melbourne is, in fact, highly comparable to Toronto. Interventions in Melbourne were characterized by the principles: long-term vision, emphasizing local strengths, investment in quality, making space for people on foot, and using effective arguments and evidence. To emulate Melbourne’s city-centre revitalization, Toronto first should facilitate a civic conversation about the long-term vision for its downtown; second, it should initiate a public life survey of the downtown; third, it should invest is the physical quality of downtown public spaces; and fourth, it should begin an incremental program to reclaim roadway space from cars in locations of high pedestrian use.

The Gap Analysis of Expectancy and Performance of Streetscape as Public Open Space during Car Free Day in Renon Area, Denpasar. The numbers of open public space in Denpasar City have not been able to meet adequate ratios with population growth and urban development. To overcome this problem, one of the efforts that has been made by the government is to utilize the existing infrastructure into a temporary open public space which is the Car Free Day (CFD) Program. The shifting space utilization and the increase of activities on the streetscape will affect people perceptions who go there. This study aims to evaluate the Car Free Day program in Renon area base on the visitor satisfaction and streetscape performance. The analysis methods used are Costumer Satisfaction Index and Gap Analysis. The results of this study indicate that there are still disparities between the expectancy from the visitors with the streetscape performance. Car Free Day's Visitor satisfaction rate in Renon area is 78.4% in the range of 77% <X ? 80% which is "borderline". It means there are some unsatisfactory attributes and the performance needs to be improved.

Public space has an important role to incresase physical health and social interaction of city communities. Karebosi field is public space which is in the development priority by Makasar city government. Karebosi field is the most ideal facility to represent the concept of an open public space in Makasar. After going through revitalization process, the government still continues to reform and refine Karebosi field functions. This research aims to find out the visitors’ perception towards the comfort of social interaction in Karebosi field, and what factors which are influence them as well. This research was conducted in 2018 at Karebosi field, Makasar. The method used in this research is mixed method (qualitative – quantitative). The technique of data collection is done by evidentiary method through data triangulation (observation, questionnaire, and interview). The result of this research can be concluded that the facility in Karebosi field is quite successful in attracting the visitors to do sport activities in public space, yet the level of success is still not optimal because it is still in the range of 60.89%, it is due to the facility development that have not been varied, the facilities are considered as not being able to stimulate the diversity of social interaction and increasing the number in public space. Designing, Karebosi field is not able to give impression and meaning for the people who do the activities in it. It is expected to be a reference for Makasar government in formulating the steps to increase the service quality and the functions of Krebosi field in the future.

This study examines the role and effectiveness of suburban, ethnic shopping centres in providing an alternative to public space. It is a response to the suburb's lack of good public spaces, and the resulting lack of community and sense of place, and is informed by the development of 'ethnoburbs' across North America. This study explores themes revealed by both literature and a series of field observations and intercept interview. A case study analyzing First Markham Place and how its mall patrons use the space revealed implications regarding the effectiveness of these malls as public spaces. The author found that the mall's role as a community hub provides opportunities to satisfy both practical and innate desires for cultural goods, services, and co-ethnic interactions, encourages a 'public life' not seen in conventional suburban malls, and creates a unique sense of place for members of the target ethnic community as well as non-members.

O trabalho reflete sobre as novas formas de expansão e crescimento metropolitano, associando-as a transformações igualmente importantes na esfera da vida pública. A expressão cotidiana desse processo de expansão e crescimento se deixa transparecer a partir de dois movimentos complementares. De um lado, o aumento em número e extensão dos deslocamentos cotidianos de uma comunidade a outra em um mesmo ambiente metropolitano. De outro, reflete as transformações resultantes do modo de vida metropolitano: horários variáveis e flexíveis, individualização das práticas de produção e consumo. Temos como objeto desta reflexão a Metrópole de Campinas como parte do território metropolitanizado que ocorre no entorno da capital paulista. Nossa hipótese é que essas transformações não se restringem anovas denominações de um processo ampliado de urbanização, mas que essas transformações têm engendrado novos padrões e espaços de sociabilidade e, mais do que isso, um modo de vida e produção específicos. Nesta reflexão, interessa-nos mostrar como essa nova dinâmica afeta a esfera da vida pública e a definição e constituição dos sistemas de espaços livres. Palavras-chave: megalópole; urbanização fragmentada; esfera da vida pública; espaço público; sistema de espaços livres. Abstract: The paper reflects on new forms of metropolitan growth and expansion, associating them with equally significant changes in the sphere of public life. The daily expression of this process of expansion and growth can be perceived through two complementary movements. On the one hand, the growth in number and extent of daily displacements between communities within the same metropolitan area. On the other, reflecting changes in the metropolitan way of life, flexible schedules and individualization of production and consumption practices. Our focus is the metropolis of Campinas as part of the metropolization process that occurs in the vicinity of the capital – São Paulo. Our hypothesis is that these transformations are not restricted to new names for an extended process of urbanization, but that they have generated new patterns and spaces of sociability, and more than that, they have generated a specific ways of life and production. In this reflection, we are interested in showing how this new dynamic affects the sphere of public life and in discussing the definition and constitution of open space systems. Keywords: megalopolis; fragmented urbanization; public life sphere; public space; open space system.

In the last decades, the occupation of the pedestrian routes and in general of the public space in the city center of Cali Colombia, have been evidencing diverse phenomena, which to a great extent respond to the accelerated growth of the urban population, where the migrations that have occurred in the interior of the country (fruit of the social conflicts of the last decades), have particularly marked the realities. In Cali, on 10th and 15th streets, near the Government Building, the Palace of Justice and the Municipal Administrative Center - CAM, the public space in general terms has been stressed in a particular way, which has generated conflicts in the surfaces designed for the pedestrians, since they are occupied by vendors in the midst of the informality routines, forcing the pedestrian to use the automobile tracks being a notorious and interesting phenomenon, when observing the factors that produce it and using them as parameters in the design of architectural spaces that contribute to improvement.

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.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of inter-building space which is understood as an open area and can be accessed by people who are usually located between buildings. This study is a case study on public spaces in kampung Kasepuhan Ciptarasa and Ciptagelar, Sukabumi-West Java. The space between buildings in this study is interesting because in it public activities and rituals on a community scale can be held which are quite limited. The community itself becomes the agent responsible for care. The purpose and significance of public space research lie in the disclosure of open space phenomena that are local and participatory. The research method used is phenomenology-hermeneutics to find out the meaning of interpretation of the text of a phenomenon of public space that occurs. The results showed that the use of public space for the residents of kampung Kasepuhan Ciptarasa and Ciptagelar due to ritual activities, especially Seren Taun. Beyond that, the function of public space is not visible. This reflects the position of the importance of the presence of public space only to facilitate the activities of the rite of the community. Keyword—phenomenology-hermeneutic, text, public space, ritual, vernacular
