摘要：AbstractAffordable urban homes for low-income residents were built in forms of Rusunawa, where functions of public spaces in such place have been distorted from their initial functions. Study identifies the underlying reasons of the changes through observations, structured and unstructured interviews, combination of both interview, and person-centered mapping. Public spaces in Rusunawa can be categorized into eight locations (corridor, main stair, emergency stair, common room, building entrance, parking area, open space, and mosque). Variety of residents’ activities (private, social, trading, supporting, and worshiping) in the spaces was identified for analysis and data enrichments. Residents’ social background understanding should give a better planning on public spaces integration in city residential areas.
