Abstract

The role of public space in contemporary society is important to a person’s well-being as it provides useful function. However, privacy issues is problem when user use the public space. This study aims at investigating the relationship between elements of privacy and the types of public space in order to better user experience in public space. A total 40 participants (21 males and 19 females, aged from 22 to 25) were invited to participate. This study used user picture interview and value mapping to investigate relationship between privacy and public space. There were differences of privacy important in public space and each privacy elements had different meaning according to public space type. Designers could utilize this framework to develop public space in terms of privacy. The privacy elements are interpreted by user’s voice to elaborate specific meaning to protect privacy in public space.
