“…Comments on the second question of the research (To what extent do public space quality criteria match those of the pedestrian space? ): Some studies on determining the quality criteria of public spaces in general are Madden and Schwartz (2005): accessibility, comfort, sociability, and activities; Day et al (2006): accessibility and safety; Alves and Ramalho (2011): security, density, activities-uses, accessibility, and comfort; Çalışkan (2011): safety, comfort, and pleasurability; Bates (2013): accessibility, use, design, and comfort; Project for Public Spaces (2013): accessibility, activities, comfort, and sociability; Mehta (2014): inclusiveness, meaningful activities, safety, comfort, and pleasurability; Alpak et al (2018): inclusiveness, meaningful activities, comfort, safety, and pleasurability. To answer the research question, public and pedestrian space quality criteria are indeed similar, but achieving higher quality results in pedestrian spaces is much easier and more meaningful and sustainable.…”

“…Questions were asked under the topics of access and connections, usage and activities, sociability, comfort, and image, and the results were presented as percentages. Alpak et al (2018) examined the quality of public open space and its effects on social interaction in a square and a park in Trabzon. For this purpose, 140 people were surveyed, and 34 questions were asked.…”

“…Previous studies show that to determine these principles; some quality criteria were required to be designed for pedestrian spaces (Alves & Ramalho, 2011;Asadi-Shekari, Moeinaddini, & Zaly Shah, 2015a, 2015bBlaga, 2013;Cengiz, 2011;Cengiz & Keçecioğlu Dağlı, 2017;Çol, 2004;Day, Boarnet, Alfonzo, & Forsyth, 2006;Ewing, Hajrasouliha, Neckerman, Purciel-Hill, & Greene, 2016;Isaacs, 2000;Khisty, 1994;Moeinaddini, Asadi-Shekari, Sultan, & Zaly Shah, 2015;Moeinaddini, Asadi-Shekari, & Zaly Shah, 2014a, 2014bSayyadi & Awasthi, 2012). Numerous studies were also conducted in Turkey for this purpose (Açık Etike & Erdönmez Dinçer, 2019;Alpak, Düzenli, & Yılmaz, 2018;Aytaş & Uzun, 2015;Cengiz, 2011;Cengiz & Keçecioğlu Dağlı, 2017;Çalışkan, 2011;Kızıloğlu & Polat, 2020;Özkaynak & Korkmaz, 2019;Resuloğlu, 2020;Saylan & Erdönmez Dinçer, 2017;Şenkaynak, 2010;Topçu, 2011;Uzgören & Erdönmez, 2017). These quality criteria had to meet certain requirements when planning or managing these areas and aim at providing an unrestricted and safe environment for pedestrians.…”

Pedestrian spaces are important public spaces that promote, support, and improve urban public life. Generally, these spaces are created by pedestrianizing existing streets, squares, plazas, and so forth as part of overall planning. Today, such an approach is considered an important urban strategy. One of the aims of pedestrianization is to clear certain areas from vehicular traffic in order to transform them into unconstrained and safe environments. Another purpose of pedestrianization is to improve mixed-use areas to ensure better performance of their functions. This study aims to determine the quality criteria that one should take into account while creating and managing pedestrian spaces and to measure the quality level of downtown Ankara's oldest and most used nine streets. For this purpose, a two-stage questionnaire, consisting of 22 questions, was conducted. The questions were collected from related literature and similar research. The data obtained in the first stage were evaluated by factor analysis, which is a quantitative method. The findings showed that the quality criteria were grouped into five main factors: design, maintenance, activities, accessibility, and safety. The data obtained in the second stage revealed the extent that the streets in the study area met these criteria. The study's findings revealed that the streets with the highest quality level were İzmir and Yüksel streets, and the street with the lowest quality level was Bayındır Street. The research determined the pedestrian space quality criteria in general and the strengths and weaknesses of the study area in particular. The results are a guide for planners, designers, managers, and policymakers who are engaged in developing existing spaces and creating new ones.

“…In recent years, with the intervention of sociology in the study of POS, research has begun to focus on the "public attributes" of POS from a sociological perspective, taking into account the needs of residents in all aspects of the planning, design, construction, and governance of POS [35] and studying POS in its four dimensions: public participation, publicness, inclusiveness, and equity [36]. In the planning of POS, more emphasis is being placed on resident participation in spatial governance [37] with a focus on spatial inclusiveness [38], such as whether the space is child-and age-friendly and has spatial equity [39][40][41].…”

Public open space (POS) confers numerous physical and mental health benefits to people throughout life. The study applies POI and other multi-dimensional methods to examine the intergenerational equity of POS within a 15-min living circle of old communities in high-density cities. Firstly, an evaluation system for the comprehensive POS supply level in the community is constructed from the perspective of the quantity, quality, and spatial distribution of POS. Secondly, based on the idea of all-age sharing, the population in the community is divided into children, young and middle-aged, and elderly, and the factor “adaptation space share” is introduced to supplement the intergenerational equity evaluation system. The study takes Caoyang New Village in Shanghai as an example and the districts of the community committee as the basic evaluation units. The results show that the comprehensive supply of POS in Caoyang New Village is relatively high but there is still a mismatch between supply and demand; the intergenerational equity level is medium, and spatial alienation exists between POS supply and intergenerational equity; and the adaptation space share for children is much higher than that for the elderly, young and middle-aged people. Furthermore, young and middle-aged people are found to form a marginal group in spatial sharing and resource allocation. Finally, it is proposed that in community POS planning, attention should be focused on the differences in population age structure and on spatial cultural attributes and functional compounding on the basis of ensuring the comprehensive service of POS, so as to promote all-age sharing in community POS.
