Abstract
Open space has a vast benefit on human well-being and, at the same time serving environmental function. However, COVID 19 pandemics have shifted the pattern of open spaces visitation. This study aims to study visitation patterns to open spaces, evaluate facilities and management of open spaces to ensure visitors’ safety, and explore the COVID adaptive open space models in Banda Aceh during pandemics. This study is mixed-methods research that integrates both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. The participants of this study are the doctors and nurses that worked in the COVID-19 ward in a general hospital in Banda Aceh. These participants were selected because they have sufficient knowledge of COVID-19 and have adapted their lifestyle after working at these special wards. The result shows shifting perceptions and preferences of respondents towards open spaces and the challenge of open space management adaptation during the COVID 19 situations. This paper also explores the safe open space model derived from the research result.
