GARCIA, Dr. Orlando Ipiña. The public space dedicated to leisure in the century XXI and the search of Urban Oasis. Estoa [online]. 2016, vol.5, n.9, pp.81-91. ISSN 1390-9274.  https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v005.n009.06.

Squares, parks and gardens represent social meeting places dedicated to different recreational, leisure and outdoor activities. These should provide to users a moment of relaxation, enjoyment and carefree. At present, there are interventions more concerned with the physical aspects of the place than with the socio-cultural activities that take place in them. The lack of accessibility, security, offer and a knowledge experience have placed the public space at a distinct disadvantage with private spaces dedicated to satisfying the ludic activities. It is necessary the analysis and identification of physical, social and cultural factors to promote the spatiality of the users, through a playful offer and a sense of security and well-being with the objective of creating a lived experience in the perception of the users. A methodological proposal for the diagnosis, consolidation or restructuring of the public space is presented.

Keywords : public space; urban oasis; tangible heritage and PASEO.
