1	Urban Public Space Impact on Social Interaction AL Haj Ali, Suhaib January 2024 (has links) This master’s thesis explores the role of the urban lifestyle closely linked to the modern urban environment, but the digital era has brought significant changes. The online world has changed the meaning of physical urban space and led to a decline in the quality of life. To address this issue, this report uses a multidisciplinary approach that draws on urban planning and sociology to verify a framework that illustrates how the primary determinant of urban space vitality has shifted from function and aesthetics to socio-spatial interaction. This interaction refers to social needs and people's engagement in a particular space. The report presents different spatial and social synergy aspects and proposes a qualitative paradigm based on this concept. Furthermore, the model is tested through an empirical study at Fristadstorget, a town center in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The guideline’s principal framework is expected to provide insights into the revitalization of urban public space and previous evaluations of the corresponding designs, providing a theoretical framework that will benefit planners and decision-makers in future projects.
