Abstract

In 2013, the term urban interior was introduced to acknowledge the creation of private space within a public space. An urban interior can take place anywhere in the city from pedestrian to parks, plaza, or any open space. In Indonesia, especially in Bandung, revitalization of public spaces – particularly parks and neighborhood neglected space – has taken place since 2015 to enliven the space and the neighborhood. This research aims to understand the important elements in creating liveable public open space in Indonesia using the new Taman Sejarah in the municipal office complex as our study case. The research was conducted through observation of space use, interview, and activity mapping in the park during weekdays and weekends. We found that weekend is busier than weekdays and that people tend to stay in a shaded area. The interview result also showed a similar thing. The respondents even asked for additional shading within the area. They also often brought food along with them or bought some from the nearby street vendors. We conclude that shade and shading providers are important elements of the creation of an urban interior.
