Public open spaces have various important roles in a residential area. Among them is as the heart where the community states its existence in the form of communication and social interaction as well as facilities to meet healthy physical needs. This role is increasingly needed, especially in dealing with pandemic conditions, namely as a community education facility in building AKB culture (Adaptasi Kebiasaan Baru/New Normal Adaptation). So in responding to this, the strategy for the utilization of public space requires far-sighted thinking, which is not only oriented towards meeting short-term goals but also needs to be reoriented that takes more into account the health factors of the users and the environment.
