This thesis evaluated the differences between the ‘intended’ and ‘resulted’ patterns of
use of four public spaces around the Colombo urban area
The research explores user intensity levels and activity pattern in relation to supplying
elements presence or absence, amenities & other factors. The study found five key
quality aspects of the places are, ‘comfortable’ and has a ‘good image’; ‘enrich the
existing environment’; ‘mixed uses and variety of forms’; the space is ‘flexible design
its changes’; and it is a sociable place and ‘make connections’, one where people meet
each other and take people when they come to visit.
Urban designers’ intentions to regulate the public space in a particular way in
designing and producing space considered the aesthetic and visual greenery and
environmental quality improvements. However users are too different dimensions
presence as a response to urban public space concern access, freedom of action, claim,
change, to find quality user amenities.
The behavioral patterns of people experience and use these spaces is a valuable source
of information for spatial planning. Indeed, studying how these spaces are used has
also shown a significant difference between the intentions of planners and users.
However, currently facing challenge by urban designers and planners, how to make
public spaces become usable for different types of users who come to use these spaces
for diverse purposes and attach different meanings to them. |
