Abstract

Public space is one of the important elements in a city to accommodate the citizen to do various things. However, it is not uncommon for public spaces to be ignored or unused by the community. Looking at this phenomenon, this study aims to look at the relationship between physical characteristics, activities, and sense of place of a public place. The research used qualitative methods in the first stage and quantitative methods in the second stage. The first stage explores the physical characteristics and activities in public spaces, as well as the user's perceived sense of place. The second stage reveals the correlational relationship between dimensions of physical characteristics, activities, and sense of place. From the results of the correlational analysis, it is revealed that the physical characteristics of the natural environment encourage a sense of meaningful place and encourage refreshing activities which also encourage a sense of meaningful place. In addition, productive activities are carried out by the physical character of the arts and kept away by the physical character of the social atmosphere and parking, as well as encouraging a sense of meaningful place. The physical character of the novelty encourages recreational activities and discourages socialization. In addition, the physical character of accessibility also encourages recreational and socialization activities. As for the physical character, many choices encourage socialization and consumptive activities which then create a sense of only knowing a space.

Abstract

Yogyakarta is well-known as a historical city and the centre of Javanese culture that attracts many tourists to come. In recent year, Yogyakarta has been very popular to domestic and international tourists in that many heritage places in the city have been developed to distinctive tourist destinations, yet no reasonable criteria has been developed to guide its development. This study assumed that places with distinctive identity or character or uniqueness are the most interested object of attraction for tourists. Therefore, the study will explore the sense of place as the important success factor in sustaining a heritage place as tourist attraction and identify aspects of a place that might contribute to its sustainability. Two heritage districts: Kotagede and Kotabaru are selected for evaluating aspects of place that are significantly contributing to the historical and cultural image of the city of Yogyakarta. The study identify and analyze the existing condition of physical attributes, performed activities and conception of the place. Indicators being used are developed from the current research undertaken by geographer and environmental psychologist. The study resulted to the conclusion that an interconnection of many aspects rather than identity of the place is the critical factor for the sustainability of a heritage place.
