Abstract

Research focuses on the study of continuity, which is a part of a townscape theory in public open spaces and is an extension of previous research that examined the principles of townscape in urban public spaces. The study object chosen is the Tugu Gajah Roundabout in Bandar Lampung. The current use of the Tugu Gajah Roundabout as a public open space by closing one side of the road is not ideal for pedestrians because there is no clear separation between pedestrian and motor vehicles spaces, potentially endangering pedestrian safety. The goal of this research is to create design recommendations for pedestrian issues at this roundabout, so it could become a more pedestrian-friendly public open space. This is a qualitative descriptive study, and several urban design theories are utilized to derive development principles for the area, such as placemaking and townscape theories. This research provides an understanding of the principles of continuity for pedestrians in urban public spaces, which can serve as a design concept for the development of urban public spaces in Bandar Lampung, particularly in the Tugu Gajah Roundabout area. From the study, numerous Place indicators from Townscape theory have not been manifested in the area, it can be concluded that these indicators have not been achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to develop facilities and functions/activities around this roundabout.
