Public Open Space

Major Indian cities have a lower public open space (POS)-capita ratio and do not meet national and international standards. Moreover, factors such as lack of design guidelines for POSs, limited funding, and lack of public participation have affected these limitedly available POSs and made them ineffective and incapable of meeting the contemporary needs of a diverse range of users. Therefore, it is essential to make them not only inclusive, user-friendly, attractive, and efficient, but also socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable in order to serve the various facilities and services at their optimum level. This study includes the assessment of two POSs to identify strengths and deficiencies that affect their character and use. These POSs are public parks, provide free access to users and are located in the city of Nagpur. For assessment, the study proposed the Public Open Space Index (POSI) that combines five aspects: Individual well-being, Inclusiveness, Engagement, Sustainable spaces, and Management.A mixed methods approach was considered for data collection, including a self-administered questionnaire survey and observations.According to the results, POSs have strengths in that they facilitate social cohesion, engagement, and basic facilities. POSs do not encourage equitable access and sustainable practices, which are considered deficiencies.The study helps planners, designers, and parenting authority to develop initiatives to make these limited POSs inclusive, functional, and sustainable.

Multilevel Growth Model

This study analyzes the effect of green characteristics on sales of unsold housing stock, using a multilevel growth model, in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea from 2012 to 2018. The green characteristics we estimated are external factors such as the proximity to urban parks and mountain trails located outside the housing complex and internal factors such as whether the area of communal open space within the complex exceeds a certain percentage. The results suggest that potential home-buyers are interested in green space inside rather than outside a housing complex in a suburban setting. Housing complexes with large enough communal open spaces had a 0.094 higher unsold unit ratio than complexes with small communal open spaces, but the surplus decreased more rapidly; the ratio declines by 0.028 per time unit. On the other hand, the results show no statistically significant effects of the distance to external green areas. This might be due to that public urban parks might not be an attraction to residents when forests and/or agricultural fields are in close proximity. The findings of this research will be utilized by construction companies and public institutions holding unsold units in improving their sales performance, not only in South Korea but also in other Asian regions showing a similar housing development pattern.

Public Open Spaces

ABSTRAKRuang terbuka publik merupakan salah satu ruang yang seharusnya berada pada sebuah perumahan. Saat ini banyak ruang terbuka publik yang fungsinya sudah dibangkitkan kembali oleh pihak penyelenggara, baik pihak pemerintah maupun pihak swasta. Secara fisik, keberadaan ruang terbuka publik kini dalam keadaan yang layak dan baik. Namun, pada ruang publik ini terlihat fasilitas ruang publik yang sangat sederhana dan jumlahnya pun terbatas. Penelitian ini disusun untuk melihat persepsi pengunjung pada kelengkapan fasilitas di ruang terbuka dengan tingkat kenyamanan pengunjungnya. Dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan observasi kajian di ruang terbuka publik dan menyebarkan kuisioner kepada pengunjung. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa menurut pengunjung, mereka merasa nyaman ketika berada di ruang terbuka publik ini. Penelitian ini dapat bermanfaat untuk peningkatan perencanaan ruang terbuka publik di perumahan selanjutnya. ABSTRACTPublic open space is one of the spaces that should be in a housing complex. At present many public open spaces whose functions have been resurrected by the organizers, both the government and private parties. Physically, the existence of public open space is now in a decent and good condition. However, in this public space public facilities are very simple and the number is limited. This research is structured to see the perception of visitors on the completeness of facilities in open space with the level of comfort of visitors. By using descriptive quantitative methods, this research was conducted by observing studies in public open spaces and distributing questionnaires to visitors. The results of this study are that according to visitors, they feel comfortable when in this public open space. This research can be useful for improving public open space planning in the next housing complex.

The study means to formulate some design ideas for public open space (POS) in small towns of developing country, while the vehicles grow fast and create a car-dependent community. The analysis is begun with identification potency and the problems of the POS that based on the field survey of 21 POS in Sumatera Utara province. There are 1346 respondents involved. They are the visitors that are doing their activities in the POS. Then, the study looks out some factors of POS to offer some design solutions. The study points out an implementing strategy to make the ideas applicable.Keywords: design guidelines;public open space; Indonesia.eISSN 2398-4279 © 2018. The Authors.

The aim of this study is to explore some design ideas that can be applied in public open space (POS), particularly in Sumatra Utara regions. The objective is to get a set of design model of POS that can meet people needs and support their quality of life. The first part of this article resumes the findings of previous research of 21 POS and 1346 respondents. The result will be the “raw material” to define problems and potencies. Next, the study analyzes some aspects o f POS to construct the initial design concept. In the end, this paper describes the proposed strategy to implement this design model to the cities and town in Sumatra Utara.Keywords: urban design guidelines; public open space; quality of life; IndonesiaISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.

Kalianda is the capital of South Lampung Regency which has 4 city parks. One of the city parks is an area of Green Open Space (RTH) known as RTH Perum Bumi Way Urang. RTH is located in a housing complex, so it becomes a place for social interaction of local people, as well as places for other creatures to live and develop sustainably. However, the assessment of the comfort of RTH is unknown. The convenience of green space is important in maintaining the balance of community activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the comfort level of open green perum Bumi Way Urang Kalianda. The importance of this research as a reference for the government in planning and to make the decision to develop Perum Bumi Way Urang open green space is ideal and comfortable. The method used to determine the comfort level of open green space is the Temperature Humidity Index (THI) method and the percentage of canopy density. The data measured is temperature and humidity using a thermohigrometer and canopy density using the Habitapp application. The results showed that the comfort level of RTH Perum Bumi Way Urang based on the temperature and humidity index in the morning and evening was moderate with a value (THI = 23-27), during the daytime it showed a value (THI => 27) that is uncomfortable. It is necessary to add tree species that have a tight canopy, so that these conditions can make the visiting community feel comfortable.

The aim of this paper is to narrow the gap between the theoretical findings from past studies and current open space development through evaluating the behavior pattern and landscape preferences of seniors in urban parks in China. Combining an on-site observational approach with a questionnaire, the research has taken place in two successful traditional comprehensive parks in Xi’an, Shaanxi, China. The results for time, place, and activities were analyzed and depicted in figures. Design guidelines have been provided based on the analysis; new perspectives for further investigations have been pointed out for landscape architects and urban planners to carry on exploring the process of establishing a successful age-friendly outdoor space.
