Abstract

Public space is meant for public interest, which means it should be suitable for everyone. However, in small villages there is limited access to public space facilities, especially since more and more people are moving to the cities. But the people who remain should still be able to do what makes their lives meaningful. Public space can be regarded as a collection of affordances that are either possibilities or constraints, depending on individual capabilities. Therefore, the collection of affordances should contain enough possibilities for individuals in every life stage. But since the affordances depend on the perceiver, it may be useful to make sure that the properties of a public space are just as flexibel as that perception, in order to provide spatial suitability.
