In creating quality public spaces, there are 5 elements that must be fulfilled according to UN-Habitat through the Global Public Space Program, namely security, inclusiveness, interconnectedness, easily accessible, and balance with nature. In applying these elements, there are a few tips that can be. If there is already an abandoned public space in your place, maybe here are some tips that can be considered:

Make use of empty or neglected space

One of the most powerful ways to create public spaces is to take advantage of the abandoned spaces in the environment. Even the smallest space can be used as a public space such as a small garden for local residents to gather. In addition, the use of unused space in the environment can also reduce the potential for social problems such as piles of garbage and the growth of criminals.

Concerned with what the public needs

Citizen participation in determining their primary needs in the neighborhood is very important, especially for the needs of public space. In a neighborhood scale such as RT / RW, of course this is easier to do. The community must be involved in determining what public space facilities development is needed in the neighborhood, so that the initiation of residents in caring for and protecting the public space is naturally nurtured.

Perform design analysis

Before starting to build public spaces, it is advisable to conduct a design analysis first, following the 5 elements put forward by UN-Habitat. This analysis can be carried out by collecting data related to the public space to be built and selecting quality products to support existing designs.
