Abstract
Providing public spaces within city-gated communities can help reduce social segregation between residents and non-residents. To facilitate interaction, it is important to identify the characteristics of public space that are most preferred. This study aims to identify the characteristics of public space based on the preferences of gated and non-gated residents in a private city-gated community. There are four characteristics of public space studied: multifunctionality, accessibility, convenience, and inclusiveness. Collecting data uses the questionnaire survey method. The analysis technique used second-order confirmatory factor analysis. This study’s results show that multifunctionality, accessibility, convenience, and inclusiveness are significant characteristics of public space to stimulate interaction between gated and non-gated residents in BSD City. Accessibility is the characteristic of mosques and markets. On city parks and a total public space, it is not proven. The users of city parks are not concerned with it as long as they can obtain their needs within it. So, the conclusion is that the three main characteristics of public spaces promoting interaction between residents of gated and non-gated are multifunctionality, convenience, and inclusiveness.
