PERCEPTIONS AND USE OF OPEN SPACE IN HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS-CASE STUDIES IN HONG KONG

摘要：

Open space is an important land use in urban design having social and environmental contributions to a city and its community. In Hong Kongs public housing estates the open spaces act as extended living spaces from the otherwise tight private living spaces and are especially popular among the elderly community. The high density settings influences the quality of open space, thus occupants overall satisfaction and use. Lack of open space provisions, crowding, lack of privacy, lack of greenery, poor environmental quality are some negative conditions seen in a high density setting. But such settings also offer some positive conditions such as reduced travel time to open space, better social contact and safety. This study identifies the significant physical and social qualities of open space influencing the satisfaction and use of open space.
