Abstract

The concept of public space can be variously defined and understood from diversified perspectives. However, no matter which definition may be used, the most fundamental character of the public space is its publicness. This paper reviews the definitions and dimensions of publicness from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, and concludes four synthesized dimensions of publicness: ownership, accessibility, management, and inclusiveness. By clarifying the concept of publicness, we can unify the multiple values and functions pertaining to urban public space. The four dimensions are further related to the legal sense and lived sense to interpret public space, respectively. By discriminating their difference, the lived sense corresponding to the dimensions of accessibility, management and inclusiveness, is adopted to define the ideal public space from the perspective of publicness. The proposed definition shows both theoretical and practical significance for urban planning and management.

定义理想的公共空间:从公共性的视角
公共空间的概念可以从不同的角度进行不同的定义和理解。然而,无论使用哪一种定义,公共空间最基本的特征是它的公共性。本文从理论和实证两方面对公共性的定义和维度进行了梳理,总结出公共性的四个综合维度:所有权、可及性、管理和包容性。厘清公共性的概念,可以统一城市公共空间的多重价值和功能。这四个维度分别与法律意识和生活意识联系在一起来解读公共空间。通过区分二者的差异,采用可达性、管理性和包容性三个维度对应的生活感,从公共性的角度来定义理想的公共空间。提出的定义对城市规划和管理具有理论和实践意义。
