Abstract
Public space as a place where people can carry out daily or temporal activities that can bind a group or other side activities that are functionally related to the public. In a city, quality public space services are services that are able to accommodate the needs of the community while providing comfort. Given this, it is important to conduct a study to examine user characteristics that will guide designers to create and manage public spaces that suit the behavior of city residents, so as to revive inclusive public spaces as an important component of the city. This research utilizes a mixed method, which combines qualitative and quantitative research techniques. In this study, 320 respondents were spread across 4 (four) public spaces namely Taman Jomblo, Taman Arena Remaja, Taman Kongkow, and PKK The Hok. The results showed that these public spaces can be utilized by all genders with the majority having the last education level of high school and college which is also directly related to the age of its users. Visitors to the four parks utilize the open space to gather together and to take a short break. Many visitors come in the afternoon to gather together because the location is easily accessible and found with an average activity time of 31-60 minutes.
