Malaysia's typical urban green space had shown the demotion of social interaction among urban residents. Hence, this research aimed to understand the designs of typical Malaysian green spaces which are believed to enhance community social interactions. Variables measured were the physical and natural characteristics of selected green spaces including activities, attractions and settings. The observation took place during representative weekdays, weekends and public holidays in those green spaces. The result suggested that the diversity of subspaces including vegetation density, animal populations, undulating landforms and water bodies afford social interaction behavior.</p> ER -
