PERMASALAHAN SOSIAL RUANG PUBLIK ALUN-ALUN KAJEN

Abstract

Public spaces are open areas accessible to all members of society, serving as venues for social interaction. Public spaces can take various forms, such as town squares, exemplified by the Kajen Square in Pekalongan Regency. One of the challenges faced by public spaces involves social issues related to disparities in accessibility to facilities and infrastructure. The identification of potential issues is carried out through primary and secondary data collection methods. The social issue observed in the Kajen Square public space is the disparity in physical accessibility, particularly the inability of individuals with disabilities to navigate the surroundings of the square.
