Numerous studies acknowledged green open space (GOS) as part of the sustainable component which promotes livability and active community. GOS offers the opportunity for people to socialise through appropriate outdoor setting. Acknowledging countless GOS benefits, hence it appears relevant to plan for a good quality of GOS (QGOS). A QGOS ensures park users enjoy maximum utilisation and benefit of outdoor spaces. Having a good QGOS is one of the government strategies included in the 11th Malaysian Plan 2016-2020, to improve people quality of life. Numerous urban related studies had shown that proximity, use pattern, sociability, accessibility and varieties of activities are the significant factors for successful parks design with the consideration of needs and preferences of park users. Hence, this paper will focus on park use pattern to access the quality of the neighbourhood park (QNP) in Malaysia. The objectives are; i) to identify park use pattern among Malaysian, ii) to determine influential factors of Malaysian park use pattern. A quantitative method of questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the data. Factor analysis results generated from the 1,500 respondents surveyed at 15 Malaysian neighbourhood parks indicated that nature appreciation loads the highest (Eigenvalue = 2.067, Variance Explained = 29.534%), social and active activities (Eigenvalue = 1.270, Variance Explained = 18.137%), followed by passive activities (Eigenvalue = 0.825, Variance Explained = 11.785%). Together, this finding provides essential guidance for park planners to plan for future QGOS and as part of the support to the 11th Malaysian Plan (2016-2020).

Cities are dynamic entities in perpetual evolution. Through this process, vacant spaces tend to appear under different circumstances. Certainly, empty and abandoned lots in a dense urban fabric are easily locatable. That their state persists over a considerable period is what makes them remarkable. This phenomenon may be viewed from different perspectives by urban planners, architects, geographers, economists, environmentalists, sociology academics and policymakers. Therefore, multiple data, parameters and definitions are in play. This multidisciplinary combination could quickly create a terminology issue in the scientific body related to urbanism and open space design. This paper presents an overview of the definitions of urban vacant spaces, taking into consideration the various perspectives. While following the timeline and the changes in the interpretations of the vacant urban space, it becomes evident how this phenomenon came from a problem of failed urban design to a possible place of resistance and finally an accepted possibility for temporary urbanism.

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.

As an increasing numbers of people move into the cities, the need of places for community in such cities is required. Urban open spaces have already take a huge part in people`s daily life. It is expected that a high quality of places can be created for people. The urban open spaces design played an important role in modern urban design and planning. Squares and plazas developed a lot in city centres. But there is a problem that it is hard to build new open spaces in the historic city centres as the spaces is very limited. The genesis of this research came from two distinct sources. First, there are a number of factors which influence urban design. The surroundings, memories and the experiences of the city for people can be defined as contexts. ‘Contexts’ constrain and inform all areas of urban design action. Second, there was a need for people to have a special pleasure from the sight of public spaces. With a focus on the urban design, the main factors presented here are the open spaces. The role and meaning of the elements that play in urban design and the ways in which they are designed, developed and detailed are the most important elements for landscape architects to research and consider. In the end of this paper, the author developed a series of general design process and some design ideas as basis of design model of urban open space for the urban history context extending.

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
