| dc.description.abstract | Placemaking is a process that inspires people to reinvent or reimagine public spaces as the heart of every community. It also strength the connection between peoples and places they share. The main existing problem in the study area is the existence of fewer open spaces when compared to standards. The existing open spaces are not providing the intended services and most of them are leftover spaces without any function and some are even used for emerging slum housing. The general objective of this study is identifying spatial capital of the neighbourhoods and redesign open. In this paper analytical research is used together with qualitative and quantitative data types. Software like GIS, AUTOCAD, and depthmapX are used for data analysis. The main finding from this paper is, the Study area is poorly connected in relation to the required function, the linkage and integration of public spaces with people's primary uses are poor and roads within residential areas have poor connection and are characterized by dead ends. So, the overlayed street integration and open space map was developed in response to creating functional open spaces to achieve the desired mixing of functions and accessibility based on the standards, which provides responses to the problems that were collected and analysed. This study attempts to provide sample design proposals of selected areas or nodes of the overlayed map, with placemaking as the main focus area. | |
