18. Public space play different roles for different sets of citizens and their
publicness.
Serving as medium for performance of public life, public space has always
been live value analysis of structural changes of public domain.
The role of public space
19. From collective and public towards individualized and private.
Accordingly public spaces become more limited in the scope of their
activities. In that sense the role of public space is prominently shrinking in
domain of public sphere and which affects it’s political role as well.
20. external public space as pieces of land that lie between private landholdings
such as public squares, streets, parks, stretches of coastline, rivers, etc.
Carmona, Heath, Oc and Tiesdell (2003)
Types of public space
21. internal 'public' space or public institutions such as libraries, museums, town
halls, train or bus stations, etc.
Carmona, Heath, Oc and Tiesdell (2003)
22. external and internal ’quasi-public' space :
Places such as university campuses, sports grounds, restaurants also form part
of the public realm, if only nominally, because their owners and operators
retain rights to regulate access and behavior there.
Carmona, Heath, Oc and Tiesdell (2003)
23. Challenges of public space prominently are shifting focus from political to
economic.
25. Public space consists of collection of buildings or it exist as inseparable part
of built environment and therefore creates and delimits common.
26. Splintering of public space is more a matter of accessibility than ownership.
Therefore accessibility is the key factor for successful public space
27. There are three basic forms of accessibility:
visual, physical and symbolic.
