Abstract
Public open spaces as squares, plazas, public parks, and green spaces are the key for any built environment. They encourage the physical activities for people and increase the health benefits. Planning and designing urban open spaces is not a new concept, it has been practiced for decades but due to the increase in population and the built up area, the green public open spaces declined, became neglected and are not well functioning.
However, after the pandemic the importance of the public open spaces have been noticed and highlighted as people need to participate together but in a healthier way in many things and create high quality of life among them.
The design of the built environment and the open spaces has an important role to play in the society. The problem is that fearing of crime in outdoor areas is one of the most important factors that affect people activities and behavior in public spaces.
The research will highlight examples showing the importance of safe and healthy public open spaces and how people have changed their perceptions and needs.
The research aims to achieve a set of guidelines that construct a vision for designing safe and healthy public space.
