3. What spaces on campus attract people and which spaces do not attract people and why?

6. Spatial Variation

7. Spatial Association

10. Problem: The underuse of public spaces in cities

11. Question: What makes good public spaces?

12. Solutions: Variety physical features

15. Production and reproduction of spaces

17. Solutions

18. Public Spaces are in transformation

19. More levels of surveillance, security and safety as a result of conflicts over public space

20. Different responses are necessary to this transformation of public space

22. Each group takes notes on public space at one of the seven areas on campus

23. Use of participant observation

25. What is the space intended for?

26. How do people use the space?

27. Do the people or objects seem in or out of place?

28. What is the spatial distribution of interactive objects?

29. Walkways, benches, food, shops

31. Groups describe activities which occurred in their area

32. All of the groups develop common themes about the use of each area

34. The themes describe how the space is being used

35. Ex. Sociability, productivity, transportation

36. The locations of the different themes are compared to the area where they occurred.

38. Free Speech Zone “The grass is nice for people to sit on.” Commerce The bookstore & dining area are located nearby Nature & Open Space There are a lot of trees, plants, and grass in the area Transportation There are a lot of walkways

46. A combination of greenery, water, commerce, walkways; spaces which are surrounded by a diversity of land uses were what gave people a sense of place.

47. Spaces on campus that don’t work tend to have the opposite spatial scenario as we will see in the slides ahead.

48. Our findings seemed to point to a healthy amount of democracy taking place on campus as can be seen in the free speech zone and numerous special interest booths. But regardless of such success...

50. Our goal: to provide people with more green spaces that are sustainable and viable additions to the campus and the environment as a whole.

52. Packed on the inside, vacant on the outside

53. Where is everyone? This space is located directly across from the coffee bean and tea leaf, an area with a lot of traffic and a popular gathering spot for students.

57. There are many well designed and popular places on campus, are there any you can think of that disprove Whyte’s theory?

58. Do you think a sustainable roundabout would draw you into a particular space?

59. Do you think there is a healthy amount of democracy taking place on campus?
