Systemic View of Urban Public Space, Proposing a "Human-First" Model For Livable Interspaces/Interfaces.

Abstract

Livability requires creating public spaces that can question the quality of cities and places, increase physical activity in urban life, and provide opportunities for social interaction in the built environment. In national and international meetings such as Habitat II, Habitat III, Vision 2023, and Arama Conference, it has been stated that what is expected from a city whose basic reality is "human priority" is public space/place with the phenomenon of publicity. With in the scope of the study of experts on the quality of urban space and the Jacops, Gehl, PPS, TOD models and approaches they have developed are explanied. Based on the inter-scale approach, systematic parts and urban networks from micro to macro scale are evaluated. İn this study the “neigbourhood” structure, which is the most basic unıt of the local scale, which reflects the social value of societies in addition to physcial characterics of the development of thecities was taken as a scale. Buıldıng-space, avenue-street, square etc. Openings are referred to as networks that make up the public system. İn this context, a model proposal with a participatory apporoach has been developed which leads to research on the qualities of livable search interspace/interface.
