Public Space Image and Comfort (Case Study: Wisdom Park UGM)
Abstract
Public space plays an important role in an urban area as aform of environmental
quality improvement. Many public spaces are created to meet human needs. However, these
public spaces often do not meet the needs and criteria of users in various aspects. One of these
aspects is the image and comfort of the public space itself, which concerns user comfort, so that
a study of the public space itself is needed. Wisdom Park at UGM is one of the public spaces
frequented by the public. Using indicators from an organization called the Project of Public
Space, this study examines the extent to which Wisdom Park meets the criteria of a public space
in terms of image and comfort itself. From the results of this research, it is expected that it can
be used in the development of public spaces in Wisdom Park.
