In-between spaces
As an ephemeral object, a site –
yet not only space, but also a
possible future, and disparate
activities.
2007
Loose space
Spaces that only allows certain
regulated activities, unrelated to
the original designed purpose
for a particular space.
Leftover spaces, usually publicly owned
but without any assigned function, are
often located right next to spaces with
fixed and restricted functions.

CASE STUDY

LOST SPACE IN URBAN CORE

AREAS OF KUALA LUMPUR IN
RELATIONS TO PHYSICAL
URBAN ENVIRONMENT

4Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying

UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA, MALAYSIA
Tibbalds (2001)
Public space is too often littered, piled with
rotting rubbish, covered in graffiti, polluted,
unsafe, congested by traffic, full of mediocre
and ugly poorly maintained buildings, and
populated at night by homeless people living
in cardboard boxes
Loukaitou-Sideris (1996)
Poor management is also to blame for the
state of many plazas, car parks, parks and
public housing estates, where abandonment
and deterioration have filled vacant space
with human waste and trash.

urban environment

significant attractions or interesting activities that
attract people to come.

kesimpulan
esimpulan
Responden menganggap Kuala Lumpur kurang aktivitas, konektivitas
dan aksesibilitas, sehingga memiliki potensi ruang hilang deskriptif.
Responden juga merasa bahwa lebih banyak aktivitas sosial ekonomi
akan membantu mencegah ruang yang hilang secara deskriptif,
terutama jika aktivitas tersebut memiliki konektivitas dan aksesibilitas
yang lebih baik dengan lingkungan sekitar.

Menurut saya, di Indonesia pun banyak terdapat tempat-tempat Lost

Space di beberapa titik yang kurang diminati oleh masyarakat, entah
karena salasatu faktor pemicu yg dijelaskan diatas, atau tempat
tersebtu memang belum terdefinisi tujuan pembentukannya.

Kepentingan pemangku kepentingan/perusahaan yang bertekad

untuk bertanggung jawab atas ruang publik cukup penting karena
sektor ini sering melakukan pekerjaan yang buruk dalam mengelola
ruang-ruang yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya, ruang-ruang yang
masih merupakan sebagian besar wilayah publik dibiarkan kosong
begitu saja tanpa ada kejelasan mau dijadikan apa sisa-sisa ruang ini.

Kita membutuhkan sistem perencanaan yang kuat. Mungkin cara

pengoperasiannya yang perlu ditinjau. Diperlukan kepekaan yang
terima

lebih besar dalam penerapan undang-undang perencanaan untuk
kontrol yang lebih baik atas lokasi gedung-gedung tinggi,
infrastruktur, ruang publik, perhatian yang lebih besar terhadap
kawasan bersejarah
