Abstract


This study aims to analyze women's preferences for the design of women-friendly public spaces in Indonesia, focusing on aspects of comfort, safety, aesthetics, and facility needs. The research employed a questionnaire-based survey involving 30 female respondents. The findings indicate that women highly emphasize design elements such as comfortable seating, proper air circulation, soft lighting, and easy accessibility. Regarding safety, the presence of security personnel, CCTV, and adequate sanitation facilities were deemed crucial. Preferred aesthetic elements include live plants, pastel or neutral colors, and functional yet straightforward lighting. Additionally, respondents highly appreciated specialised facilities such as mother-and-child rooms, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. The implications of this study highlight the importance of designers and public space managers considering these preferences in creating inclusive and comfortable environments for women.
