The article presents the results of the evaluation of the relationship between the way of shaping public space related to ensuring sustainable mobility in the city and the experiences of users influencing the perceptible quality of life. The assessment was carried out for one of the medium-sized cities, which was included in the list of cities threatened with exclusion. The subject of the evaluation was the city multimodal centreorganised around the railway station in Nysa. The aim of the research was to identify a selected, small group of key challenges and recommendations aimed at improving user experience in using a multimodal centre in the city. The article highlights the role of service infrastructure (stops, stations, transfer centres) in the ecosystem of sustainable urban mobility. Each element of this ecosystem (designed in accordance with the idea of universal design) can have a significant impact on the improvement of the perceptible (declared) quality of life in the city, if the applied solutions positively influence the user’s experience (including the sense of comfort and care). The authors focused on the current state of play in order to identify the key areas of intervention needed to improve the user experience in using the multimodal centre in a small and medium sized city. Attention was paid not only to the aspect of infrastructure accessibility, but also to the relations between urban, architectural and engineering solutions in the context of their impact on the assessment of the multimodal centre in terms of its usefulness in three dimensions: functional, rational and perceptible. The summary outlines the process of achieving from the basic solution standard to interoperability. This knowledge will allow better decision making in the planning of user-oriented projects in the city. This may be of particular importance when the conscious objective of the action is to achieve the level of interoperability expected by users of facilities such as, inter alia, a multimodal centre, which is one element of an urban public space with a significant impact on the quality of life of the citizen.

<p>Public space is the domain of interest for urban planners and designers and the most important type of public space is streets. Public spaces, and particularly busy streets in urban centres, provide opportunities for people to meet, often by chance. As cities become increasingly multi-cultural in population the use and nature of public space reflects this. The best public spaces cater to the needs of all who use them and in multicultural societies this also means they must meet the expectations of people from different cultures.  Many scholars have challenged the tendency for streets to be conceived of as movement channels, often at the expense of their use as social space. Streets have traditionally catered to a broad array of activities including walking, cycling and standing. Streets that facilitate such activities are preferred by the public. Streets in multicultural societies are also where people from different ethnic backgrounds find opportunities to interact.  When public spaces are successful, they will increase opportunities to participate in communal activities. Spatial design is a critical success factor for streets; a goal for urban designers must be to create spaces where people from different social and cultural backgrounds value the public spaces they have access to. As cities become more multicultural the challenge is to design and manage spaces that appeal to the breadth of cultures that are represented in the population. Such public spaces are described in the literature as being more public. However, there is presently little information to help planners and designers to realise streets that appeal to people having different socio-cultural backgrounds. The research aims to identify those characteristics that will promote and maintain cultural diversity in the context of neighbourhood commercial streets in New Zealand’s multi-cultural society.  The research is undertaken in two stages. “Stage One” makes use of ethnographic fieldwork as a basic method, complimented by structured field observations using a behavioural mapping procedure, and surveys of users of the streets. This stage provides data on specific streets and their usage through three case studies. Stage Two” utilises online surveys that generated data in relation to street visualizations. This stage seeks to understand what design characteristics and furniture arrangements are associated with stationary, social and gathering activities of people and to define design characteristics of footpath spaces preferred by each cultural group and all groups collectively.  The main conclusion from this research is that retail activities remain the main concern of people in multi-cultural streets. Management and higher level planning of retail activities on the streets could encourage and motivate possible tenants in order to enrich the retail assortment of the street and provide a means for social and cultural diversity. In addition to business activities, spatial design characteristics are found to have an influence on people’s behaviour and activity. The findings of this research suggest that retail and business activities, together with the design and skilful management of the public areas, could support a broader range of static and social activities among people of various cultural backgrounds. The thesis makes recommendations for urban planners and designers based on the findings of the research.</p>

Abstract: Public space as part of city space cannot be separated from a city. According to Sunaryo (2004), the city system is a fulfillment of the necessities of life for the community which includes living, working and recreation. Public space has an important meaning for urban areas or regions, because the main role of public space is to harmonize the patterns of life of a city (Kustianingrum, 2013). every type of public facility must be able to accommodate the interests of all community groups starting from the conditions that are categorized as normal, small children, disabled and elderly. One strategy to be able to provide facilities that are able to meet all these needs, namely by considering the application of the seven principles of universal design. In this study the data analysis method used is descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative research aims at research that ultimately produces design solutions. In this study will reveal how the implementation of 7 (seven) Universal Design Principles in public spaces in Bandar Lampung City. It is hoped that this study can be used as a recommendation in policy making for the design of a friendly public space for all people including people with disabilities and children in the city of Bandar Lampung.Keyword: Public Space, Universal Design, DisabilitiesAbstrak: Ruang publik sebagai bagian dari ruang kota tidak dapat dipisahkan keberadaannya dari suatu kota. Menurut Sunaryo (2004), sistem kota merupakan pemenuhan kebutuhan hidup bagi masyarakat yang meliputi tempat tinggal, bekerja, dan rekreasi. Ruang publik memiliki arti penting untuk wilayah atau kawasan perkotaan, sebab peranan utama ruang publik adalah menyelaraskan pola kehidupan masyarakat suatu kota (Kustianingrum, 2013). setiap fasilitas jenis publik harus dapat mengakomodasi kepentingan semua kelompok masyarakat mulai dari yang kondisinya dikategorikan normal, anak kecil, penyandang cacat dan lansia. Salah satu srategi untuk dapat menyediakan fasilitas yang mampu memenuhi seluruh kebutuhan tersebut, yaitu dengan mempertimbangkan penerapan tujuh prinsip universal desain. Pada penelitian ini metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif. Penelitian kualitatif bertujuan untuk penelitian yang pada akhirnya menghasilkan solusi desain. Pada studi ini akan mengungkapkan bagaimana implementasi 7 (tujuh) Prinsip Universal Design pada ruang publik di Kota Bandar Lampung. Diharapkan studi ini dapat digunakan sebagai rekomendasi dalam pembuatan kebijakan untuk perancangan ruang publik yang ramah untuk semua orang termasuk difabel dan anak-anak di Kota Bandar Lampung.Kata Kunci: Ruang Publik, Desain Universal, Difabel

Abstract: Nostalgia Park is one of the efforts of the City of Kupang in fostering the enthusiasm of all City residents to create a culture of planting. The presence of this park is also the only park that has become a public space in the city of Kupang. The function of the City's public space is as a place for citizens to release the boredom of routine in life in the Cities. This place is not accessed by only a group of City residents, but it can be accessed as a whole including people with disabilities who have special abilities. In this study, researchers wanted to identify facilities and accessibility based on universal design principles as a variable concept of a park that is difable-friendly in Nostalgia parks. The method used is descriptive qualitative and then compared the existing data with the literature to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the facilities and accessibility of the Nostalgia park. The results of the analysis found that out of the 6 variable variables of the diffable-friendly concept there are 5 variables that have been applied to the Nostalgia park, but still do not meet the standard of application that is accessible and 1 variable that is not yet available at all.Key words: Variables, Park Concept, Diffable FriendlyAbstrak: Taman Nostalgia adalah salah satu upaya pemerintah Kota Kupang dalam  menumbuhkan semangat seluruh warga Kota untuk menciptakan budaya menanam. Kehadiran taman ini juga menjadi satu-satunya taman yang menjadi ruang publik di Kota Kupang. Fungsi dari ruang publik Kota adalah sebagai tempat bagi  warga masyarakat untuk melepaskan kebosanan akan rutinitas dalam kehidupan di Kota-Kota. Tempat ini tidak diakses oleh sekelompok warga Kota saja, tetapi dapat di akses secara menyeluruh termasuk kaum difabel yang memiliki kemampuan khusus. Dalam kajian ini, peneliti ingin mengidentifikasi fasilitas dan aksesibilitas berdasarkan prinsip desain universal sebagai variabel konsep taman yang ramah difabel pada taman Nostalgia. Metode yang digunakan bersifat kualitatif deskriptif kemudian dikomparasikan data yang ada dengan literatur untuk mengetahui kelebihan dan kekurangan fasilitas dan aksesibilitas taman Nostalgia. Hasil analisis ditemukan bahwa dari 6 variabel konsep ramah difabel terdapat 5 variabel yang sudah diterapkan pada taman Nostalgia, namun masih belum memenuhi standar penerapan yang aksesibel dan 1 variabel yang belum tersedia sama sekali.Kata kunci : Variabel, Konsep taman, Ramah difabel.
