Abstract

The capital city is full of layered memories from the authority in representing power and identity and from the everyday uses of place. Public space often represents and legitimates power. The purpose of the top-down approach in design is imminent, and authority uses architecture and urban design as their means of showing identity. However, an excellent urban design approach should include public participation in the process, allowing the users to take in charge and contribute to decision making. A good-city should be designed based on a common good for all. The bottom-up approach uses the participative design method to allow the citizen to speak, be heard, and take in charge. It ensures sustainable activity as a community would be involved in using the place and preserving the resources. Everyone contributes to the city as citizen members of the political community. As a result, the community would have a sense of belonging and engagement towards the public space. This research documented and analysis this participative design approach during the development of the Jakarta community center (RPTRA) in South Gandaria. As one of the pilot projects, the Bahari community center was one of the successful projects that included community participation during the design and implementation process. Through observation, interview, and series of discussions, authors were engaged in this action research of implementing a bottom-up approach in designing public space.
