“…As a consequence of co-production, a wide range of new types of public space have been produced. The notion of hybrid space has emerged to reflect different kinds of public, semi-public, semi-private and private spaces (Nissen 2008). Among the different hybrid spaces, this paper specifically looks at POPS.…”

Privately Owned Public Space/s (POPS) is a mechanism to increase provision of public space, particularly in densely built-up urban areas. The empirical work undertaken along the Teheran-ro in Seoul reveals that even well-equipped and highly accessible POPS can be exclusive or underused. This paper argues that the problem of exclusion and underuse of POPS is related to the lack of knowledge of POPS and of awareness that they are public spaces. The more they are known and perceived as public spaces, the more widely and actively they will be used. Hence, the paper adds further recommendations to the existing suggestions.

“…In fact, it is no longer easy to distinguish between public and private space. Instead, what we see is 'hybrid space' that encompasses different kinds of public, semi-public, semi-private and private spaces (Nissen 2008). Among different hybrid spaces, this paper specifically looks at Privately Owned Public Space/s (hereinafter POPS).…”

“…Education and learning in the public spaces are predominantly marked by their character that is outside formal structures, state control and accessible to citizens (putting aside the differences between “real” public spaces, semi‐private and hybrid public spaces (Nissen, )). This leads to the use of public spaces for purposes related to democracy and civic and human rights.…”

“…This leads to the use of public spaces for purposes related to democracy and civic and human rights. Like Habermas, Nissen considered public space to be “that space to which citizens of a polity have access and enjoy free right of use” (Nissen, , pp. 1130, 1131).…”

This article focuses on the social dimension of well-being, based on a critical analysis of the way it is conceptualised in late capitalism: As the dimensions of individual state of mind and body, something that evolves in the individual realm, stressing personal responsibility and achievement of well-being as a solitary act. Then, the contemporary conceptualisation and approaches to policy making for well-being are compared with the policy of adult and youth education and learning. The perspective of a strong individual orientation, detachment from the social, community and collective aspects and efforts seem to be a common denominator. Agency is considered not only as a possibility for individuals to create and change the environment, but also as a process of active co-construction of social reality. This includes (re)connection with a community, very often through new ways of community learning, civic actions and civic activities. An analysis of how these perspectives converge in civic interventions in urban areas of Belgrade places togetherness at the core of the broader approach to well-being and learning. This article presents several examples of civic activities in urban spaces whose learning character is interpreted within the concept of

“…issues of mobility, dynamic changes, virtuality clash with eco-tendencies of reduction of emissions through use of public transportation or total elimination by providing all necessary functions within walking distance, with autonomization, and demands of the real. while some of issues raised by michael sorkin on the apparent crisis of public spaces remain valid [14], mostly due to enormous advantage of the market and the dictate of economy resulting in shortsighted decisions related to land value, but also by different social patterns, social stratifications, incorporation of some crucial functions of open public spaces by private buildings -commercial centers, airports, railway stations, and by the disconnection between design aesthetic qualities and expected social qualities [15], physical open public spaces are still relevant and indispensable to create and maintain spatial spine of the city.…”

designing public spaces usually responds to social expectations and provides more rich urban environment able to accommodate various human activities. it is very important for health, well-being, and perceived quality of life of local community members. Urban design, even if purely intuitive and composition oriented may still produce attractive results, but ultimate impacts will not be seen until its implementation into physical use. therefore the introduction of analytic and decision-supporting mechanisms seem to be justified. in this paper an approach focused on qualities and typologies confronted with multiple functions of open public spaces is considered. it attempts to answer questions concerning connection between qualitative and quantitative aspects of urban environment. within this connection parametric understanding supports the expert knowledge of designer. multiple functions affect the efficiency of the geometry of open spaces and in turn the ability to sustain social attractiveness and usefulness of these areas. the paper will discuss problems of urban design from the perspective of intervening and designing public spaces in peripheral municipal zones in an efficient way. it proposes framework, its application, and shows specific key elements to be included in order to acquire these improvement oriented goals.
