Activity Responses on Favorite Places for Young Adults

Finta Lissimia

Abstract


Architects and urban planners use place theory to plan and design space. Multiple interpretations of place theory result in impractical design concepts. This problem can be solved by studying people's behavior as a user of space. Collective activity helps planners design spaces suited best for the user. This study aims to find out activity response on a favorite place to find a pattern regarding activity in a particular place. Quantitative methods are used to fulfill the purpose of the study. Data will be collected by online questionnaire. Young adult respondent was chosen because it represents the majority of people using a variety of places. The relationship between activity and a specific type of place can be seen as feedback for future architectural design or as foresight for regional planning based on activity. The result shows that many activities in the favorite place can be categorized into low tension and high tension. Low tension activities represent several activities that seem to be done for restorative purposes. Meanwhile, high tension activities represent several activities that corporate mind and body actively. Low tension activity correlates more with a favorite place than high tension activity.
