<![CDATA[Urban green public spaces play a vital role in environmental quality and social life, yet their design often prioritizes physical and aesthetic aspects while overlooking diverse user experiences, limiting inclusivity across age, gender, and social groups. This study analyzes user experiences of urban green public spaces to inform more inclusive design principles in architecture and urban design. Using a mixed-methods approach, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 purposively selected users, while quantitative data were obtained from a survey of 100 respondents across two sites in the Minahasa Peninsula (North Minahasa and Tondano). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that user comfort, accessibility, and sense of safety are shaped not only by physical elements but also by circulation quality, spatial legibility, and design flexibility for formal and informal activities. The study demonstrates that a user experience–based approach reveals overlooked dimensions of inclusivity and proposes contextual, applicable design principles for developing more equitable, responsive, and sustainable urban green public spaces.]]>
