The Production of Spatial Evaluation Models Enabling the Measurement of Partial Shapes of Public Open Space

Abstract

are determined as a whole by technical standards, with plan evaluation based on the partial shape types of open space. It is almost accurate to say that the aggregation of the partial shape types is planned, rather than the whole open space. However, with respect to considering the partial shape types, there are no detailed standards of good open space use, and the provision of quality standards is considered necessary. This study thus aims to obtain knowledge fundamental to a technical standard review by focusing on privately owned public spaces (POPSs) in New York City which has detailed urban open space standards concerning important use as places for passive recreation and amenities, thereby producing spatial models that enable an evaluation of the coherence of open space use and the partial shape, vis-à-vis existing public open spaces.
