The spaces in which people live can be classified as public, private, and common, each with features of semi-public and semi-private milieus. This study identifies how the spatial structure of common spaces of urban low-rise housing complexes can mitigate many social problems by acting as a community center in order to improve civic quality of life, social communication, and social bonds. In other words, the common space acts as a transition space between private and public spaces. With respect to the common spaces in urban low-rise housing complexes, residents often exhibit a feeling of ownership as they define their own boundaries. In terms of planning the common space, the aspects of spatial utilization and construction complexity seem to endow these spaces with a publicness as an interface for social communication. Importantly, spatial utilization includes accessibility, comfort, and functionality, while space construction can create openness, connectivity, enclosure, and unity. Applying these concepts to housing complexes can create extended spaces, continuity of mediating process, changed perception of boundaries, and organic interconnectivity. Implementing such a common space may enable neighbors to share ownership through colonization of the common area and create a residential community through natural interactions. The common space is expected to be a solution for social problems characteristic of urban living. |
