Abstract

Green open spaces (RTH) play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and improving the quality of life for urban residents. One of the primary typologies of RTH is the city park, functionally represented by Gianyar City Square as a center for sports, recreation, social interaction, and art performances. Following the revitalization program, significant transformations in accessibility and visual aesthetics have occurred, creating an urgent need to assess their impact on visitor comfort. This study aims to analyze the influence of accessibility and spatial appearance variables on user comfort levels in Gianyar City Square. The methodology used was a quantitative approach, involving 100 respondents selected through a specific sampling technique. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire and then processed using parametric statistical analysis, including validity tests, reliability tests, and classical assumption tests (normality and heteroscedasticity). Hypotheses were tested through linear regression analysis, supported by F-tests and T-tests. The results indicate that access and spatial appearance variables simultaneously and partially have a positive and significant effect on user comfort. Empirical findings identified that the spatial appearance variable was the most dominant determinant with an influence coefficient of 0.7. This indicates that visual aesthetics and spatial arrangement post-revitalization are key factors in enhancing the spatial experience and psychological comfort of visitors.

Abstract

The dichotomy of study in STEM (science technology engineering and mathematics) and the humanities has been a popular issue in academic research. This paper tries to see whether that the dichotomy is significant or not. Utilizing a public open space as one of the common subjects of study in landscape architecture. The public open space is analyzed within a positivistic domain and in the cultural studies paradigm. The purpose is to exercise an approach of analyzing a same set of data and present a continuous discussion on the subject of interest, which is alun-alun (town square). Data from two town squares in Bogor City, which are Alun-alun Empang and Alun-alun Kota Bogor, were collected according to common practice in landscape architecture field of study. The discussion uses descriptive analysis and critical social analysis techniques. The result shows that descriptive analysis works well for biophysical aspect while the critical social analysis makes the social aspect give a deeper understanding on intangible area.
