Abstract

A study about public and cultural spaces in terms of definition, meaning, and characteristic are numerous. Generally speaking, the public and cultural spaces are defined as everyone’s area. There is an interrelation between people and the area where everyone can use it freely and belong rightfully to both government and private sectors. However, it is still unclear about the overlapping meaning of public space and cultural space. This article explores the importance of culture in public spaces concerning ethnic groups, beliefs, and traditions. Literature review on the subject provides a better understanding of the overlapping meaning and more precise definition of the terms public cultural space, which will be helpful for further study.
