There are four aspects that can from the identity of a place, namely: sustainability, self_esteem, self_ability, and uniqueness in the Merdeka square. This namely accessibility, comfort, activity, and social interaction. The findings show that the merdeka squareas a public open space already contains the identity of the place. However, there are many problems with the arrangement of the merdeka square area which is still lacking, causing the view that binds the merdeka square area to be invisible. Therefore, the government must improve the arrangement of the area so that it blends with the identity of the place around it.
